New Script

                                                                              

Hey readers! I know it's been a little while since I blogged, but I'm still here. I'm so excited because I wanted to talk about my new script that I'm writing called " I'll Never Tell." It's about a girl named Honesty Cummings who has a crush on her teacher. Of course he doesn't like her in that way, but she will still try to get her claws into him. So, readers let's talk, how many of you have had a crush on your teacher in school?  I used to have a crush on a teacher when I was in high school. He was my Drivers Ed teacher and OMG...I was so mesmerized by him, lol. Anyway I decided to write this screenplay because this kind of incident is very common it's just not discussed. But, there was one incident where the came out of the bag. Remember the Mary Kay teacher was dating a 13 year old student?  They ended up getting married and having children together. But, Mary did do jail time for that. A lot of people were upset at the whole situation. I can't blame them I mean the boy was 13 years old. What 13 year old knows a bout real relationships? Hell, I'm 28 and still don't know about them fully, lol. I decided to write I'll Never Tell because  I wanted something totally different that isn't being shown on TV. It may be a lifetime movie or just a drama movie. I hope to finish this script in about three more weeks. My schedule is to write everyday, maybe ten pages a day or so. Ever thought about writing a screenplay?  If so, please look at my other blogs, I have many tips and books for you to start writing your script. I was in graduate school when I wrote my first script. I was so nervous as to how it was going to come out. When I was in school, we learned at a fast pace and I thought I wasn't going to be able to keep up. I mean we wrote our screenplay in one month! I mean my classmates were all great writers. We were nervous as to how it was all going to come about. Successfully we all passed and graduated. Now, I feel a lot better about writing scripts. I'll Never Tell will be great! Just wait and see...you won't want to miss it!

Do you sometimes forget that you're a writer?

                                                                         

Often times life happens and you're so caught up in it that you forget what you love to do. I know this past week, I truly have been going astray from my babies. Yes, I call my writing pieces, my babies. I recently started a new job working from 3pm-12am. I know, crazy, right? But, sometimes in life you have to do what you gotta do. Now that I have a couple days to myself, I am catching up on my writing. Yes, I know, I should be writing everyday, but life is stepping in the way. Well, that's no excuse...if life happens, write about it! I also keep a journal and just started doing a personal blog as well. http://thoughtsfromkrystol.blogspot.com. Now, what was I say? Oh yes, when life happens continue to remember you're job that you love doing. Writing is a gift. Many aren't great at it. Some may think they have it, but they don't. But, if you find it's something that becomes fun and a passion for you, then GO FOR IT! After all once you start putting the pen to paper, fingers to keys, and thoughts to notebook, you are a writer. Never let anyone tell you different. You don't have to be published to be a writer.  With all that has been going on with me, I forgot about my babies. I won't do that again. Time management is a necessity for the everyday person. I MUST be on my A game. From now on, I'm going to try and get up early in the morning and get my writing done. Even if I have to write and then go back to sleep. Yea, I'm not much of a morning person at all. I never have been. So, I have to pick a new writing schedule. I'm going to make a point to write everyday, too. No matter how your day has gone always remember pick up the pen and keep doing things,

My Writing Style (MSH Blog Tour)

                                                           

I know many writer's have a different kind of writing technique that works best for you. I have no clue as to what to say about mine. When I first started writing when I was 15 years old, I would go in my room and talk out my black composition notebook and begin writing poetry. Now, years later, I like to get my Mac and go to work. I write in the morning, noon or night. Now that I have a job, writing for me will be early in the morning. Yes, I have to work on time management. But, I can do it, right? One of mentors tell me all the time, " Write when you feel like it. If you don't want to write, don't." Writing shouldn't be forced but it should come fun to you. Making up characters and having them do what ever you want them to. Sounds fun, right? I  like to write in bed. I know it may sound funny, but I get me some classical music going, have my cup of tea, and I'm in bed making great stories. I love writing in my bed or at my table. But, of course the bed is more comfy, right? I have a desk that I will get put together soon and I will make that my work station.  To my fellow writers on this blog tour and my followers keep it sweet, get your pens or put your fingers to work and keep doing things,

Writing For You

There are many different kind of writers that lives around the world. Some write for TV, Animation, Games, Novel, Poetry, etc. What ever the case is write for you. I know that some of us writer's may write for a network, a publishing company, or a blog. But, since when we do stop writing for ourselves? Sure, our stories are fun and unique but most employers or audiences we have to write for them. I always keep a journal or have a separate folder on my computer of stories and different works I have written for myself. I  feel that writing what you want, when you want will only increase your writing skills. Who knows, some of your writing may be turned into great masterpieces. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing shameful about writing for a company, school, or a network. I still do it. I just feel that the fun of writing for others can sometimes take out of the fun of writing. Freedom of speech is awesome, right? When we write we can say whatever we want to say. Especially if we are in "character". We blame everything on the character and say, " I didn't say that, the character did!" LOL...okay, I know I can be silly. I have always enjoyed writing in general. Sometimes the technical side of writing can be challenging depending on your audience, but it's still doable.  When I first started out in my Master's Creative Program, there were a lot of students who were new to writing. I wasn't being as though I have been writing since I was 15, but I noticed the struggle that it was for some of them. My teacher at the time noticed it too. She gave us all an assignment to keep doing everyday even after our class ended. I want you guys to do this assignment as well. Here it is: 

1. Purchase a journal or notebook. ( Evernote is great too!) 

2. Write 3 pages a day about ANYTHING. Just commit to 3 pages. ( This will get you writing everyday.) 

3. If you feel you want to write more then 3 pages a day, then go for it. 

4. Never let anyone read your journal or notebook. ( For your eyes only) 

5. After a month go back and read your entries. ( You'd be surprised at how much you can write and what your thought process was while writing those entries.) 

6. Have fun while writing. 

Some people may think it's immature to keep a journal, but it's not like a diary. I mean, it can be if you choose to do it that way, but it's just notes. It's bring your awareness to channel your thoughts on paper. 

Also try this: 

Take yourself on a date doing something you have never or never thought you would do. Write about it in your journal. I feel that when you do things out of your norm, you learn more about yourself. Learning about yourself is always a good thing because it shows growth. Growth is moving forward!! To my fellow writers keep writing. But most of all don't forget to take the time and write for YOU! Always keep it classy, professional and keep doing things,

Officer On Duty: The Prison Guard Diaries

I know that you would have never though I'd be writing something so...out of my element. Sure, I have touched on erotica before in my writing but with this new book, I decided to be hard core! Not hard core in a pornish kind of way, but hard core in the sense of thinking outside of the box. I started getting into erotica when I was in high school. I was 16 years old when I started to truly learn about sex. I must admit the subject sparked my interest immediately. But, what teenager wouldn't be curious about sex? I wasn't having it but when you go through health class and have the talk with your parents about the birds and the bees, has it ever made you wonder why you were supposed to wait until marriage? Then there's the question, well my friends are doing it, why can't I? I remember going to library and reading all these books on sexual education, teen pregnancy and Std's! Yes, STDS! I couldn't believe my eyes as to what I was reading. By the time I read my 5th book and the bell rang for me to go to my next class, I was not ready for sex nor the topic of it. But, then one of my friends told me about this author Zane. At first I thought that she was a he until I later on found out. Anyway, she gave me this book called " The Sex Chronicles". After reading the synopsis (the blurb on the back of the book), I was hooked. There were several copies at my school library so I quickly checked it out. Boy, was I about to read something that clearly wasn't taught in school. After I read the book I was hooked! The graphic details intrigued me and the storyline captured my thought process. Could people be really capable of what's in THIS book?

Now 12 years later, I'm a writer and I LOVE it! I mean I can be any one that I want to be a man, woman, drunk, princess. The sky is the limit as long as my fingers type on the keys. I like to think of myself as a determined writer. I'm determined to get my stories out by any means necessary. But, my latest novel that I'm writing is an erotica called Officer On Duty: The Prison Guard Diaries. I decided writing this book because I've heard so many jail stories where guards have relations with inmates. So, I decided to write my own story, my own way. I want for my readers and all readers to really enjoy this story. I want them to be able to see what they are reading as if it can really happen. Yes, this is fiction!  This story is about a prison guard who has a craving for the male species. She can't get a man on her own in her own life so she goes to the next best thing, her job! I won't spill too many of the juicy details but here is an excerpt of what's to come! Hope you enjoy and keep doing it, 

The Write Way.  Please leave a comment below of what you think! I love to hear from my viewers and readers.

“ Hey Officer Reynold.” I said in my black police uniform.

“ Banks. Your on til 6am got it?”

“ Yes Sir.”

I was pissed because it was just 9 pm. I had my coffee in my hand and I was ready to work. And I don’t mean watch inmates all night. I was grabbing my clipboard and ‘ night stick when he said,

“ Oh and Banks…”

“ Yes Sir?”

“ From now on you will be the only guard on Pod 8 at night. If you need someone else to work with you just let me know.” 

Inside I was smiling because I know that I could have all the sex I wanted. Well, once I got the inmates to agree to it anyway. I walked away and looked at the clipboard and saw inmate number 24601. I had been eying him some time now. He noticed me to. He was in for some drug charge. But, the man had a body on him! I couldn’t help but grin as I went to Pod 8 to be the guard on duty.  Lights didn’t go out for another half hour. I roamed the pod as I saw the men talking to one another, writing, drawing, what ever they could do to pass the time. I saw one inmate admiring my curves from afar in my uniform. I must admit I am fine. Light skin, black hair, nice ass and breasts so plump and firm you would think they were plums. The men always checked me out. But, I had to stay assertive and firm. I never showed weakness. I kept roaming from cell to cell when a white man caught my eye crying. I walked over with my firm tone and said,

“ Why are you crying?”

“ I just don’t want to be here, I didn’t kill that woman.” The man said.

I looked in my chart. It had every inmates name with their crime. They found his wife in the house dead. She was stabbed to death. His prints all over the knife, I know he wasn’t set up or was he? Hey, I could give two shits if these inmates were guilty or not.  My job was to guard them not have sympathy for them. Well…and to fuck on occasion. I mean, why not? All these dicks in here, clean dicks at that….well for the most part. I can spot the faggots easily.

“ Wipe your tears. Lights out in a few.” I said.

“ Yes, Ma’am. You sure are pretty.”

I looked at him and kept walking.  Then there he was. 24601. Just sitting in his cell with his shirt off doing some push-ups. My pussy instantly got wet. He was one of the few inmates without a roommate. When he was pushing up he noticed me and stopped. I was licking my lips. Sweat was glistening on his body like he just finished a boxing match. I was beyond turned on.

“ Hey Banks.” He said as he blew me a kiss.

I just smiled at him.

“ I saw you were at the rec watching me work out.”

I still didn’t respond although he was whispering to me.

“ Lights out in two minutes.” I said.

He grabbed his dick and looked at me. I had an empty piece of paper in my chart and wrote in it. He had a look of fear on his face thinking I was going to write him up.  After I finished writing him I held it up.

“ DON’T GO TO SLEEP. AFTER LIGHTS OUT I’LL BE BACK AND HAVE THAT DICK READY FOR MY ARRIVAL.” 

Be Assertive In Business

                                                                                  

I know that some people are business owners. Whether you are a publisher, writer, CEO of this or that. It's always pays well to be assertive when handling business. I wouldn't have it ANY other WAY! I used to be very nice and soft spoken when I started my business as a publisher and a writer. I have learned a valuable lesson, BEING NICE DOESN'T PAY THE BILLS!! Yes, I say this from my heart. Sometimes you have to be assertive and a "bitch" for things to run smoothly. If you can't stand for something you will fall for anything. I recently had to learn this valuable lesson on many accords with different people. There is nothing wrong with still being polite, but if people feel that they can take your kindness for weakness THEY WILL and don't let them! So, what do you have to do be more assertive? Here is a list of a few things I can think of. 

1. Let your yes be yes and No's be No's 

2. Always collect your money UP FRONT no ifs and or buts about it

3. Have the mindset that you don't play when it comes to business

4. Show up to meetings on time. Punctuality is important

5. Be clear, be stern, be consistent.

Those are just a few that came to mind. Why wasn't I practicing what I'm preaching? Good question! I used to live in a world ( of my own) that if someone seemed legit and fair, that's how they were. Whoa!!! Big reality check!!! When I would have dealings with other business professional or lacks there of, I started to see a pattern within myself. I noticed that I was too open to people, too kind with letting things slide, and if I felt you were a friend or had a good rapport with you, things would be easier also. BOY WAS I WRONG!! NEVER under any circumstances, treat your friend your doing business with, like a friend! Once business comes to play, friendship is out the window. I often don't work with many friends because if the business doesn't work out for what ever reason, the friendship doesn't either. So, I have learned quite a few lessons. I like to write my experiences to my readers so you guys can learn from my mistakes. But, make a point, I will make plenty more mistakes I'm sure, but   it won't be the same mistakes! Everyone will always learn lessons, what to do and what not to do. But, if you feel that you aren't learning and still are making the same mistakes, then it's time to step back, regroup, and evaluate yourself. It's nothing wrong that and you shouldn't be ashamed. There have been a couple times when I had to regroup and figure me out! In my opinion it's the best therapy. I recently had a school project where I had to take myself out on an artists date. On this date we are suppose to do something different that is out of norm, try something new. On my date, I took myself to dinner and ordered something I would never order. As I was walking into the restaurant, I looked at my surroundings. There were gorgeous statues, people talking on their cells, etc. When i got inside I looked at the menu. I knew I had to order something different. The waitress came over and gave me some ideas on what to order. I was assertive and told her what I was getting and she wrote it down and smiled. I told her that I was doing a project for school and she seemed more excited than I was. But, my point about my artist date was that sometimes you learn different things about yourself. Had I not been assertive and followed directions with the assignment, the nice Krystol would have came out and ordered one of her choices. Readers, I say to you, don't let others walk over you in business or your life period. Some people have a hard time saying no and other's say yes too often before they are giving their reward. There is nothing wrong with being nice to people, but also show them you are not to be toyed with. Be assertive, consistent, and stand your ground. No matter who it's with!
