Today..

Today is the day I jam out to some music and get some writing done. I’m feeling really happy today and I just want to get up and dance around. I love days like those, feel like life is going the way it’s supposed to.

Hope everyone else is having a wonderful day! I know today is President’s Day so a lot of people have off today, but I’m in the minority where I’m working today but it doesn’t stop me from acting like a fool by dancing and singing hahaha.

Enjoy your day people!

Feeling Excited

I just wanted to write today about the new novel I’m working on. I’m super excited about this one and I am not giving it away. I feel more inspired this time around with writing. I feel like the words are just pouring out of me. I don’t know if anyone has ever experienced this before but I’m really loving it.

Today I wrote a ton of pages and I felt like I couldn’t stop, but I finally took a break. Lately writing for me has been hard, I was having little inspiration. Yesterday’s blog post I wrote of 9/11 and ever since then I guess I feel like I woke up. I needed something to kick me in the ass to get me motivated. I’m here and breathing and healthy and I need to live, if that means writing then so be it. I come to realize that writing is my thing, I love it. If I can express myself then I will do so. I never imagined that this is where I would be in my life, but things happen for a reason and that’s the path that you walk down. I will continue to do what I love to do.

I feel like I got a lot accomplished on this book and I feel really good about it, which is all that matters. If I wrote this book and I was dissatisfied then I would have to scrap it but I feel something inside me that is amazing. It’s like a flower blooming inside my chest, a world that opened up for me. That’s why I’m excited! Thanks to all you wonderful people for reading my blog and I hope you get the chance to read my first novel called Not Alone on Amazon. Just type in the search box my name Melissa Rose Bushey, I found that was a lot easier then putting in the title because there are apparently a lot of books called Not Alone. A Novel. πŸ™‚

Much love everyone!

Time..

Time. Where did it go? It feels like not long ago I was just a little girl playing outside with rocks, yes rocks. That sounds strange now that I’m writing it hahaha. This was way back before cell phones and all that social media stuff. But I really would like to know where time went. When I was a kid I just wanted to be an adult and now that I’m an adult I wish I were a kid. It’s strange when I think of things like that. Time just goes so quickly, you’re here today but you can be gone tomorrow. You never know when your time is up.

It took me 30 years to know what I wanted to do with my time. I want to write! When I was a kid I wrote all kinds of short stories, crazy ones. I think back to then and realized I did have a creative mind but I never really thought about it then. I wanted to be a teacher when I was about 8 but then as I got older that wore off and then I wanted to be a nurse. Eventually that dream just fizzled out and now after I finished my first novel, I sit here and I know that is what I was meant to do, I wanted to be a novelist. Writing is like my outlet and it helps me with my anxieties with what I face everyday, which I won’t get into. I read so many books, I love it. I know not many people like to read anymore but for me it’s something that helps me escape everyday life. You fall in love with characters and you visit places you’ve never been before. You experience what they experience and you feel what they feel. I love the when I get lost in a book and hours go by and it’s over. But then you pick it up again or get another book and you start all over again.

So can time heals things? I guess you never really heal from things, you just get over them.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Contagious

Don’t let the title fool you, I don’t mean contagious as in sick and someone is going catch something from someone else. I mean contagious in a positive way. Meaning that when you’re all smiles and happy, that can transform someone else and they can be happy and all smiles, which in turn can be contagious. The way we act towards others can generate a new and wonderful day for someone else. For example, if someone is having a bad day and they come across someone that is truly happy and all smiles, that could turn the person that’s in a bad mood, happy.

So I’m writing today because I want to share my happiness with everyone today. I know my last post was about happiness but I can’t help to continue on the happiness path. You have the power to control your own emotions and feelings, just look on the bright side of something that seems to be dragging you down. Maybe you’re financially doing awful but you still have a house, you have food in the fridge, you have heat, and you have electric. Sometimes the brain can be a tricky thing but don’t let it bring you down. Look at the positive in everything.

If you would please check out my book on Amazon, I would be super grateful. The book is called Not Alone: A Novel under my name Melissa Rose Bushey. The book is a Suspenseful Thriller with some Mystery. If this intrigues you, please check it out. Have an amazing day! Spread the love πŸ™‚

Shining Light

So my beautiful people today I write to express how I’m feeling and how grateful I am that people are reading my posts and following me. It’s an honor to have people in my life that care about my work.

So today I’m writing and writing a lot and it feels so good. Some days when I think about writing, I wonder how it’s going to be. Some days the words flow right through me and other days I feel stuck. Kind of like writer’s block. Today however, thankfully the words are flowing through me. I now have a page on Facebook that isΒ just for my author page. If you want to check it out look under Melissa Rose Bushey, remember the page otherwise you’ll just get my regular Facebook under people.

So yesterday I made a bold decision and I dropped my classes at college. I felt like it was the right decision for me. I was sitting there in class and I was thinking to myself “what am I doing here?” It just wasn’t what I wanted at all, I just had this gut feeling telling me that this wasn’t for me. So with much debate, I decided to quit. I want to focus more on writing, it makes me super happy and it’s what I love to do. A lot of people know that if something makes you happy stick with it, and trust me it does.

Today it’s finally sunny. It’s been raining non stop for days and today the clouds have opened to make way for the sun. In a way it feels like my mood lately has been miserable and the weather and I were on the same page. As soon as I made the decision of dropping my classes the sun began to shine. There is light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to wait for it. Be patient it will come.

Have a wonderful day!

Introduction

Hello everyone,

My name is Melissa Rose Bushey, and I am a new novelist. I published through Amazon and I have a novel out called Not Alone, which is a suspenseful mystery. and I am currently working on my second novel.

I just wanted to introduce myself to the world in hopes that I can get the word out about my novel. But I do want to tell you a little about myself:

I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, and we have two dogs (English bulldog, Cairn Terrier) Buddy and Zoe. We also have two kitties (Tuxedo) Mr. Miyagi and Memphis. I have a full time job and I actually go to school part time for Psychology, which I’m almost finished. I do yoga a few times a week, which I can’t get enough of, it really helps me with my center. If I’m having a stressful day, I turn to yoga and it’s an immediate reliever. I love to read books, I am an avid reader, always have been. One day I was messing around on the computer and started writing, and then I just couldn’t stop. It was like a switch was flipped and now I have this growing passion. I write when I can and it makes feel good. It’s sort of an outlet for me as well. I’m excited to be on this journey and see where it leads me. I hope a lot of people will just stop by and say hello. You can visit my author page and my book: amazon.com/author/melissarosebushey

Thank you for visiting me and please say hello!
