Tea Tuesday: River Song




I'm not really a coffee person. I prefer tea, and I know a lot of fellow writers love tea, too. But have you ever wanted to break out of the Early Grey or English Breakfast norm and try something new? Well, let me help you find some cool new teas! If you need a little hot and flavorful boost to help you reach your writing goal or you're just a lover of tea or you'd like to try some tea but aren't fond of the stereotypical types, these Tea Tuesday posts are for you.

This weeks tea is ... 

*drum roll*

River Song



How I found it: I found this tea on the Adagio tea website while browsing through their many fandom blends. This is same tea company I got the Avatar: The Last Airbender set that includes AangKatara, and more, BBC Sherlock teas that includes Sherlock Holmes (of course ;) ), John Watson, and more, and Tales and Tea Leaves (a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings set) that includes Barrels of TeaElevenses, and more. This is a part of the Doctor Who set which includes 9, 10, 11, River Song, Amy Pond and Rory Williams-Pond. All of the flavors are wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey!

The Tea: Spoilers, sweetie, but this tea is quite lovely. ^ ^ It has a strong lemon flavor like lemon bars from the rooibos lemon cloud and lemon grass, the coconut provides a tint of sweetness and the earl grey moonlight gives it smooth and rich undertones. I normally don't like lemongrass, but this tangy, sassy tea was definitely the exception. It's certainly fits River. I could see her drinking it. I wonder if she's had lemon bars ...


Serving Recommendations:  I steeped this tea for three minutes and added sugar and cream. 

How much is it and where can you get it? You can find this tea at the Adagio website. I bought this tea in a sample set which was about $22 including shipping and you get a goodly amount of tea since you only need about a teaspoon per cup. Some of these teas you can buy individually for about $10 a pouch or $4 for a sample tin.

So how good is it? This a disgracefully good tea that I'll definitely be having again. I totally recommend it!



Have you tried this tea? What did you think of it? Have you seen Doctor WhoWho's your favorite character?


Bonus! If you are a first-time Adagio customer I can send you a $5 giftcard! Ask in the comments for details! (This is no joke and no catch I seriously can. It's part of the amazingness of Adagio Teas)

Soundtrack Sunday: Goodbye (The Maze Runner)




It's Soundtrack Sunday again! I'm still just loving the Maze Runner soundtrack. I've found another piece from it I just love. It's so beautiful. ^ ^ The strings and horns are just amazing and I love the build up into yet another epic finish. I've never heard of this composer, but this soundtrack is just awesome. For more epic soundtrack music check out the Soundtrack Sundays YouTube playlist. Check out my review of the film here and the book here!

Interview with Author Jill Williamson





This week I'm proud to present an interview with Christian author Jill Williamson! I've been reading her books for years and I love them. ^ ^ She's been a big inspiration to me. Her blogs and writing books have been paramount to the improvement of my writing. She just released the last book to her YA dystopian trilogy The Safe Lands. I'm really enjoying it. It's my favorite series of hers so far. Without further ado here she is!


Could you tell us a little bit about the Safe Lands trilogy?

The people who live in the Safe Lands are dying of a plague. Their scientists need uninfected people to study if they’re going to find way to survive. So Safe Lands enforcers raid the village of Glenrock and take the survivors captive.

The series follows three brothers. Levi wants to get his people--and his fiancé--out of the Safe Lands and back to life as normal. Mason would like to help find a cure for the plague, which would solve the problem for good. And Omar thinks life in the Safe Lands is so much better than what he had in Glenrock. The trilogy follows each brother as they strive to succeed in their goals and become drawn into the plight of the Safe Lands people. The story was inspired by the Babylonian exile in 605 BCE.

Who is your favorite character of the Safe Lands Trilogy and why?

At the beginning of the series, Mason was my favorite. I liked his logical way of looking at the world, and his simply wanting to be himself and find acceptance. But by the end, Omar had overshadowed his brother in my heart. Omar makes a lot more mistakes than anyone else in the series, but he always fights to find his way back. I love that about him.

Do you have a favorite scene in Rebels?

Without giving too many spoilers, I am rather partial to that moment when Omar meets Shaylinn’s babies.

Who is your favorite character of all your books and why?

I don’t like to pick favorites. It’s truly impossible, anyway. But I’ve known Spencer the longest, as he was the very first character I created. I love Spencer because he is, in a small way, me. I went on a mission trip as a non-Christian. I was forced to pray when I didn’t raise my thumbs before eating. And I desperately loved basketball.

There are lots of ways that Spencer is different from me, too. He is certainly no mirror into my past. But he is dear to me. I love who he became over the years as I learned to write. He actually became less like me and more like himself. And once I found his sarcastic voice, he came to life.

If you could live in one of your story worlds which one and why?

I suppose I would choose Er’Rets from my Blood of Kings series, but only if I could have the ability to bloodvoice. I think it would be a fascinating experience to travel in the Veil. And I think I could get used to the slower pace of a medieval world. I would have to set to work inventing modern plumbing, however, as I would greatly miss showers.

Do you have a method that's unique to your writing process that you've never heard of anyone else trying?

I doubt anything I do is unique. I like to start with a map of my world. I try to write fast first drafts, then edit as long as possible. Lately, I’ve been using the dictate feature on my iPhone to write. It’s very fast to dictate—so much faster than typing. I can write 1000 words in a few minutes. I am always looking for ways to be more efficient, so I plan to look into dictating more when I find the time.

Thank you, Jill, for being on the blog! If you want to check out some of her books for free she has a really great sampler so you can read a few pages from many of her books. ^ ^ I also have reviews of her books By Darkness Won (last book of the Blood of Kings trilogy), Replication, Captives (first book of the Safe Lands trilogy) and Outcasts (second book of the Safe Lands trilogy) up on the blog to check out. ^ ^ And I will have a review up for Rebels soon! Thank you for reading!

Voice Week Day 5: Brian



It's the last day of Voice Week! It's been really fun! This week I've posted a small bit from the point of view of different characters characters from my science-fiction series Subsapien doing a scene each day for five days to strengthen the voice of each character. The voice is the individual thought pattern of the character and how they see the world. I've already posted snippets from Bryce'sMatt'sIngrid's and Emil's points of views. Brian's snippet is the last one! I hope you guys like it. ^ ^

Brian
Brian sat in the corner of the test room, rocking, holding his injured arm and holding back his tears. He should not cry like a child. Adults do not cry. The day he physically matched his mental prowess could not come soon enough.

The door opened. His handler set a small ceramic bowl of pallid spheres upon the ground, then promptly exited.

The contents of the bowl strongly resembled … Brian’s eye bugged and his fluffy, gray tail wagged. Could it be?

He crawled close. The item’s milk content and sweet aroma confirmed it. This was the dessert he had only read about in his Every.

Ice Cream.

The moment felt so surreal. Why would the scientist allow him to have this delicacy? From the coloration it had to be vanilla or cake batter. No scents of harmful substances emanated from it.

Perhaps he could allow himself to act childish. No one would know but him. Consuming the ice cream would be far easier if he had a utensil, but would have to make do.

He scooped some ice cream up with his fingers and slurped it into his mouth. This substance far surpassed the flavor quality of anything he had before tasted. He let a big, horribly childish grin spread on his face—that no would ever, ever hear of.

Voice Week Day 4: Emil



It's day four for Voice Week! This week I'm posting a small bit from the point of view of different characters characters from my science-fiction series Subsapien. I'm doing a scene each day for five days to try to strengthen the voice of each character. The voice is the individual thought pattern of the character and how they see the world. I've already posted snippets from Bryce's, Matt's and Ingrid's points of views. Today I'm doing Emil. ^ ^ The last snippet will be from Brian's point of view!


Emil

Emil sat on the floor of the test room, tapping the back of his head against the padded wall over and over again. His stomach growled for the millionth time. When were the grens gonna feed him? 

The door opened just long enough for his handler set a bowl of white mushy balls the size of little Ashlyn’s fists on the floor before it shut again.

He sniffed. Food? He crawled over to it. Creamy, white stuff that smelled like milk. No drug smell. It looked like food. Milk is food. He grabbed a handful of it with his meaty hand. Cold food. It began to melt in his fingers, getting his hand all sticky. Better eat it fast. He shoved it in his mouth. A lot of the white stuff smeared on his cheeks, lips, and nose. 

A piercing headache jabbed his brain. The cold numbed his tongue. He pressed the heel of his hand to his temple. My brain is in pain. 

Well, at least it made him less hungry.

Voice Week Day 3: Ingrid



It's day three for Voice Week! This week I'm posting a small bit from the point of view of different characters characters from my science-fiction series Subsapien doing a scene each day for five days to try to strengthen the voice of each character. The voice is the individual thought pattern of the character and how they see the world. I've already posted a small bit with Bryce and another one with Matt. Today I'm doing Ingrid. ^ ^ Snippets from the point of views of Emil and Brian will be posted over the week too.


Ingrid

Ingrid lay down on the test room floor, her eyes closed and her feathered wings wrapped around her shoulders like a blanket. Just a short nap was all she needed. If only they did her tests at night instead of the day.

The door opened.

She sat up, her head light for a moment from the quick movement. Please, God, don’t let them do anything awful today.

Her handler set a bowl of three cream-colored balls on the floor. Then she left, the door shutting behind her.

Ingrid got to her feet and walked over to the bowl, her bare feet squishing on the white foam floor. The stuff in the bowl looked like food, but feeding time wasn’t until that night. She crouched next to it. If only she had Matt’s sharp scent to check it for drugs.

She picked up the bowl. Even through the plastic, she could feel the white stuff’s coldness. Maybe this was a treat. She’d just test it first. She scooped some of it on her finger and licked it off. Mmm! It was sugary like cookies. Matt and Bryce would love this. They loved milk.

Voice Week Day 2: Matt



It's day two for Voice Week! This week I'm posting a small bit from the point of view of different characters from my science-fiction series Subsapien doing a scene each day for five days to strengthen the voice of each character. The voice of the character is the individual thought pattern of the character and how they see the world. Yesterday, I posted a small bit with Bryce and today I'm going with Matt. Snippets from the point of views of Ingrid, Emil, and Brian will be posted over the week too. ^ ^


Matt

Matt sat on the floor, staring at the one-way glass window in the white test room, his yellow, cat tail curled around his lower back and ankles. When would they let him see Bryce? Was his brother okay?

The invisible door opened on the window wall and Matt’s handler set a bowl of what looked like snowballs on the floor. Then he left.

Matt cocked his head. Why would they give him snowballs? He crawled closer and sniffed. They smelled creamy like milk, but sweeter and with no scent of drugs. What were these for? They were stacked almost like a snowman Brian showed him pictures of once. Tiny flecks speckled them almost like bits of coal.

He touched it with his finger. It was cold but not icy like snow. Could it be food? Frozen milk? He licked is finger. So good! It tasted like nothing he’d ever been fed before. If only he could save some for Bryce.

Tea Tuesday: 11

But have you ever wanted to break out of the Early Grey or English Breakfast norm and try something new? Well, let me help you find some cool new teas!

This weeks tea is ... 

*drum roll*

11



How I found it: I found this tea on the Adagio tea website while browsing through their many fandom blends. This is same tea company I got the Avatar: The Last Airbender set that includes AangKatara, and more, BBC Sherlock teas that includes Sherlock Holmes (of course ;) ), John Watson, and more, and Tales and Tea Leaves (a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings set) that includes Barrels of TeaElevenses, and more. This is a part of the Doctor Who set which includes 9, 10, 11, River Song, Amy Pond and Rory Williams-Pond. All of the flavors are wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey!

The Tea: I was a bit skeptical about this tea at first because of the strong coconut smell. Not that I don't like coconut, but coconut in a tea? That's a bit of a stretch. But I tried it and I really enjoyed it. The coconut tea with a twist of vanilla, a hint of applem and light assam melody make a coconut cream pie-like taste. It's light and playful just like the Eleventh Doctor. ^ ^ It's become one of my favorite teas of the set. I'm sure the Doctor would approve and it would go perfectly with a jammie dodger. ;)


Serving Recommendations:  I steeped this tea for three minutes and added sugar and cream.

How much is it and where can you get it? You can find this tea at the Adagio website. I bought this tea in a sample set which was about $22 including shipping and you get a goodly amount of tea since you only need about a teaspoon per cup. Some of these teas you can buy individually for about $10 a pouch or $4 for a sample tin.

So how good is it? This is one of my favorites of the set. It's a bit too unusual to have regularly but I'll definitely have it on occasion. Perhaps while watching Doctor Who. ^ ^

Voice Week Day 1: Bryce

My very kind friend reminded me that I had signed up for Voice Week. So I'm posting this really last minute. ^ ^'
In Voice Week, you post a small bit from the point of view of a different character doing a scene each day for five days to try to strengthen the voice of each character. The voice is the individual thought pattern of the character and how they see the world.

Post number one will be Bryce from my science-fiction series Subsapien. I will post with snippets of Matt, Ingrid, Emil, and Brian too over the week. :)

Bryce

Bryce’s handler set a plastic bowl holding three balls of white on the foam floor of the test room. The door shut again.

Bryce swished his furry, spotted tail. What was that? Would it hurt him? He crawled to the bowl and sniffed it. It smelled sweet and like milk. What should he do with it? He reached out his hand and touched the white stuff with his finger. It was cold, wet, and squishy.

Some of it got on his finger!

He wiped it off frantically on the floor and scrambled back. Was it poison? Was it going to blow up?

Soundtrack Sunday: Finale (The Maze Runner)




It's Soundtrack Sunday again and I have a gorgeous piece this week! The Maze Runner has just released in theaters this Friday and as a long-time fan of the book, the movie was great. Totally go see it. ^ ^ The soundtrack is equally fantastic. 

This piece moved me to tears. The piano and vocals are amazing; the piece escalates with strings and drums that just make a soundtrack junkie's heart sing. The music builds into an epic finish. I love it. For more epic soundtrack music check out the Soundtrack Sundays YouTube playlist.

A Book Review of The Maze Runner by James Dashner




Find it on Amazon!

If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human.

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He’s surrounded by strangers—boys whose memories are also gone.

Nice to meet ya, shank. Welcome to the Glade.

Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It’s the only way out—and no one’s ever made it through alive.

Everything is going to change.

Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

Remember. Survive. Run.

Series: The Maze Runner (Book 1)
Genre: YA Science Fiction
Publisher: Delacorte Press; Reprint edition (August 24, 2010)
Page Count: 375 pages

What I liked: I read this book originally not long after it came out with a friend. Now I've reread it in preparation for the movie. So excited. ^ ^ The story is really intriguing and I really like a bestseller finally with a guy character since most tend to be with girls. I'm a girl. I know, but it's nice to have some more boys. Thomas is a bit of a blank character as to be expected since he lost his memories, but he grows in the story and becomes caring and brave. I like his arch as coming from being clueless to a clever, determined, and kind character. 

The story is gripping and the ideas are imaginative and fascinatingly creepy. Gotta love the Grievers in a way that you never want to be around them but you admire the idea of them ... The pacing is good. I love how the chapters get shorter as the tension builds toward the end. The description is great. I always got a good picture of the setting. The ending was well done. You felt happy for the characters, but sad for others, but with a twist at the end that made you hungry for more. When I reached the climax, I couldn't stop reading till the end.


What I didn't like:  A few things that bothered me were some rookie writing mistakes. Dashner frequently told emotions (angrily, sadly, happily). I feel like he could've done better in that area. I haven't been writing as long as him and I know about these no-nos. He also had several action reaction errors that jerked me out of the story. He described the reaction of Thomas before you knew what he was reacting to. The last thing is that I felt like some other characters could have been developed more. The main ones were but I felt like the side characters needed more definition. 

Content Cautions: I'd give this book a PG-13 rating for crude humor, gore, creepiness (if you want me to be all official like "thematic elements") and there was a form of a swear word at one point (the Irish version of rear). 


In Comparison to the Film: The movie has the fan seal of approval. There were only two things that I wished they kept to the book (trying to keep this spoiler free), but the soul of the book was there. I didn't care for the added swearing. The key events were there just rearranged a little or changed slightly for pacing reasons. 


One thing I did like about the movie over the book is that the characters had more definition and more personality. I cared about many of them more in the film than I did in the book. They also made the Glade a bit more tribal which made sense to me. Overall good film. Totally worth seeing. I actually wrote a full review of the film over on the website I write for Geeks Under Grace. Check it out!


In conclusion, I love the story and the characters and the tension is gripping.
