Been so long. Also been hot here. I have been busy writing and promoting my movie script to the point of too much coffee. Some say I'm inspiring to them, probably for doing what I do. Why I do it? Make a future for my son. And to no longer struggle, it's a pain. I'm sure many others can understand.
Trying to use my talents as work. Writing, drawing, sewing, knitting. The idea is to create a website to promote my writings, but also sell my cartoons and handmade dolls. These dolls will be based off characters from When The Dead Came, if you seen my other blog you may know that book I wrote.
What helps to keep motivation is setting goals, music, and coffee. My goals are difficult but a challenge is good. And for the current book I'm writing, My Chemical Romance's music is highly influencing my work.
As for the script, still promoting. Hope it works out, need this change after years of work and difficulties. Plus, I miss my son to no end.
I will succeed. Not gonna quit now.
Keep up with me on my social media pages: Twitter (@Ariana_Torralba), Instagram (@ariana_torralba91), Facebook page When The Dead Came series and page Ariana Torralba (need to update it, it's for other work I do).

A Few Things
Good day everyone. I didn't sleep at all last night, only had around four or five hours of sleep. Been working on more of the When The Dead Came Series, and beginning tomorrow will be a free promotion until the 22nd, this time for the book Apocalypse World/Survive. Lately been sharing parts/excerpts on my Instagram. Been working on promoting again. Also overly hungry. I would sing a song for someone if I could get a little food. Which says a lot, I don't ever sing for anyone except my son. Like a guy told me, there is a reason they're called starving artists.
Maybe things will turn around... I really hope. There are times I think about going back to Tulsa so I can find another job easier but I don't want to be so far away from my son. Then, there are times I want to pack some things and walk away until I reach the town where my son is, and try to save up for a place there. Instead, stuck here, far from job opportunities, which is why I write. Takes time, I know, but still. It's stressful and tiring. Quite the struggle. Exhausted. It's alright though, there's a reason I set "unrealistic" goals that are complex and tough, for the challenge. And to get the chance to be a mom again. The dream used to be a mom and wife, then both end up taken from me. Miss my little boy.
Anyways, Apocalypse World/Survive will be free from tomorrow and until the 22nd on Kindle. Will be sharing the link tomorrow.

And Now, My Rant
Okay, ahead of time, apologies to those that get mad at this: What the hell is a basic bitch, bad bitch, and whatever else they call themselves these days? Hearing young women call themselves these now days makes me feel old and I'm only 26! What the hell? I thought women didn't like being called a bitch in any way, and now they're proud to call themselves it?? Hell, I got pissed and upset when my ex husband called me a bitch for a dumb argument back then. What is a basic one? Seriously, is it supposed to make them intimidating or supposed to attract more guys? Come on! Around where I live, you hear this often. And all the young girls that post online and call themselves that shit, they're proud of it and usually caption provocative photos of themselves with it. Same with this "badass bitch" shit they toss around. Or saying they're a savage bitch or lit bitch or savage lit bitch. Doesn't make sense. There's one girl here that practically prostitutes herself and goes on about being a good girl then says she's a savage bitch. Why be proud of shit like that? It's common these days, there's girls in this town around here that call themselves that crap because they think it's cool. And proud to call themselves crazy bitches and try to take other women's men. I don't know, maybe I'm old fashioned or just that lame.
I don't drink, smoke, party, or do drugs and others find that boring and lame. And weak.
But hey, I would rather be lame, boring, old fashioned, and different than some girl that thinks it's badass to harass and threaten others and call themselves a basic bitch and sleep around.
Doing all of that doesn't make them a badass. It just lowers themselves into something that isn't worth it. Not worth risking their lives to get themselves hurt, or to catch something that they must live with. Or worth losing their lives and kids.
Definitely not worth threatening others just to make themselves look like they're worth shit. Same with the "gangs" in that same town. They're always threatening others that they think they can attack.
And that my friends, is why I learn self defense. Not going to allow some asshole guy or "basic bitch" to harm me. Or my son if I have him with me.
Motherhood,it has made me stronger and more defensive. Never worried about shit like that until after my son was born. He makes it worth it. Seriously, I practice self defense and knife throwing because of him. That's all, all of that was building up in my mind.

Hello Everyone
Greetings again to everyone across the world. Still have allergies and been trying to enter a contest, but the file won't transfer to my phone and my laptop keeps going to a metered network, so, needed to stop before I lose it. Other than that, doing great. Can't have my son for Easter which sucks. Probably can't for mother's day either. It's difficult. Anyways, I have nothing else to do today.
Been on my social media accounts off and on. On my Instagram, I was actually told I'm an inspiration, which is pretty cool. Never thought I could be inspiring and interesting, always thought I was boring.
On my Instagram, I usually share random pics. Some are what I come across on my Facebook that make me laugh (there's one of a knocked over portapotty that reads Your Bad Day Has Just Started), pics off and on of memories with my son, usually with a story to the photo. Few pics of myself, I don't do many selfies. Pictures of my makeup art and my art in general. So if you're interested in back-stories' and Linkin Park, my Instagram should be fascinating enough.
Twitter is my way of failing at being funny. Originally, it was for promoting my writings only, but then started sharing my thoughts and it went from there (one tweet having been asking "I thought the duck face thing was over?"). Seriously, people still do it, see if often on my Facebook page. (another rant to share there that I don't get).
And of course, the Facebook pages for When The Dead Came and my other writings in general. I don't really give out my personal Facebook.
In the next blog post, I intend on letting out a rant I hope others will understand.

Another Day Again
Good day to all across the world. Been busy, writing scripts, pitching scripts, sick with allergies again, babysitting my niece, and had slow data. Got more on my phone but it's still slow. Also got my late birthday gifts: Bill and Ted double feature DVD, Detroit Rock City, Dummy, Aftermath. Also learning I shouldn't make pancakes. I can make difficult foods, but not simple pancakes. Trying different heat settings, they burn on the outside, still not finished on the inside. It sucks. My mom says food is food, since we don't have much right now, but I already know my siblings will complain. That's why I love cooking for my son, he isn't picky. Used to love cooking. I can make French toast, scrambled eggs, corned beef hash, omelets, stew, soups, pastas, baked fish, hot wings, dumplings, cakes, brownies, pies, fried bread, so on. But pancakes? No.
Still wishing I had my own place and my son, miss cooking for him. I remember when I was married, I made him and his dad omelets and corned beef hash with a side of scrambled eggs.
When I was pregnant, I made a big plate of deviled eggs... My husband at the time and I ate them all haha.
Kinda miss when I was pregnant, was around 130 lbs. Now I'm back to where I was before. Always been thin, so pregnancy was a great time for me. Sorry, rambling on. Currently making jacked up pancakes and watching Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Having trouble coming up with a cover to draw for the romantic comedy drama I'm nearing the end of, not sure. Also awaiting for the news that my friends baby is born. I made a hat for the little guy, got him a giraffe rattle too. Wish I could have more kids. Technically I can, but I don't want to go the route other women around here do. I would prefer to be with someone long-term. Meanwhile my sister suggested I get with a sugar daddy... Like I told others before, it wouldn't be right.
Sure more young women these days are getting sugar daddies to spoil them, but I can't bring myself to do that too. Seems wrong especially to use a guy just to live the luxury life. Do need help with things, God knows that, but I don't want to find a rich guy to do it all the easy way. One guy even offered to help me get full custody of my son, but I didn't want to use him. I don't know, maybe I want to do improvements on my own.
Either way, I have hope for things to get better. Maybe one day my books will sell a lot or one of my scripts will. Not giving up.

Good Day
Hope everyone has had a good day. Or at least an alright day. Today, I became 26 years old... Yeah. Been alright day too. I got woken up this morning, my niece decided to throw a ball around the living room and I ended up hit in the face. Mouth bled a little, but not for long. After that, spent all day listening to Linkin Park. Still am now. Tried spending time outside for fresh air and the wind has been strong all day, so I ended up with dirt and grass in my eyes. Tried catching a metal lid too that someone left on the coffee pot top, ended up hitting my hand on the corner of the counter. Spent time outside a moment ago to enjoy the night air and seen three shooting stars.
Other than that, it's been a good day. No more than usual and same amount of accident prone moments. Called my ex husband's grandma earlier to talk to my son, but he was still asleep.
Listening to Linkin Park's song Until It Breaks currently. Had a discussion earlier how it's hard finding someone with similar interests as yourself. My ex husband didn't like Linkin Park at all, hope to meet someone one day that enjoys their music too. Not many Linkin Park fans around here... Or in Oklahoma for that matter. Same with guys that want to date me. I get asked out a lot by guys from out of state, but they don't want a long distance relationship. Yet, no guys asking me out who live in Oklahoma. Irony or something. Other than that, pretty good day.
Back to writing tomorrow I guess.

New News
Hello everyone, hope all is well. As you may know, I had created a Facebook page for When The Dead Came sometime ago. Then realized I probably should've done the logical thing and create a page for all my writings. Therefore, I finally did it. It's new and it'll be an alternative to my blog, since we all know how bad I am at updating.
On the new Facebook page, I will share free promotions, new books, news on my work, maybe in the future some contests of some kind or something. Movie scripts, poetry, my work in general. Maybe it'll turn out better than When The Dead Came page, that one didn't get as big.
So, please, feel free to check the page out (link below). It's a work in progress.
Love
Ariana
