So, I'm back! *cue cheering, clapping, and general excitement* Today I'd like to introduce you to someone. Her name is Betsy St. Amant. Isn't she gorgeous? Betsy  lives in Louisiana and is a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers group. She is multi-published through Steeple Hill and has been published in Christian Communicator magazine and Praise Reports: Inspiring Real Life Stories

(picture taken at college, February '10) Well, hey there kids. Once again, I'm back to assure you that I am indeed alive. I promise, one of these days I'll remember to swing by here on a more regular basis. Today is the beginning of spring break. I hadn't even realized how worn out I was from the last 2 1/2 months until I woke up Saturday morning... and just wanted to sleep all day. I really

So on top of college exam week being over and making all A's, several new things musically have come up. I really wanted to talk about this a few months ago but felt it better to wait. I'm glad I did. One of the main reasons I started going to the BCM was because of a series of emails I got from the BCM director. He was looking for a new worship leader. I was reluctant to step up because I

Well, hey there. I'm back, much sooner than normal! :] Since I'm here at the BCM and have some time on my hands, I figured I'd clue you in on the BCM, which has pretty much become one of the top three places you can currently find me - 1 being home, 2 being college, and you can guess what number 3 is. :] BCM stands for Baptist Collegiate Ministry. However, if you're like my mom, you'll probably

I am so bad about posting on here. My apologies. Anyway, the college semester started back. I'm taking American History II and Basic Chemistry. History is fine; chemistry... well, let's just say that I need to work on the conversion factors a little bit. Two weeks in, and I'm already preparing for the first exams of the semester. Yuck. I've continued to work on ML, though I need to get a little

it snowed! I just needed to announce that in big letters... :) So anyway, on top of the fabulous snow (we actually got over an inch and it's actually stuck around for more than a day... so it's pretty spectacular), I actually got back to working on my novel tonight. Micaela is the protagonist in this aforementioned work that is often simply referred to as Micaela or ML, which stands for the

Just a quick note to say... HAPPY NEW YEAR! I am super excited about this new year and the things God has in store... Can't wait to share the journey with you! :) Much love, Audrey

So, over the past several months I've gotten the opportunity to read this book: It's taken me a little while because 1) this is a devotional book, divided up into daily sections and 2) it's really, really good, so I never wanted to move on. Seriously, this book was amazing. I loved reading it. It seemed that just about every day I read (I would normally read anywhere from several days to a

Well, hi blogworld! No, I haven't died, fallen off the edge of the earth, or been incapacitated in the last few months. Well, actually, I take that last statement back; but more on that later. Let me just say that the primary reason I haven't been writing as faithfully is college. As unchallenging as my Comp II class can be, trying to keep up with all the different decisions my professor makes

The past month has been a busy one. At the end of July/beginning of August, I participated in a drama camp through my church, which was awesome, amazing, fabulous, fantastic, etc. I learned SO much, but not just in acting. Every morning started out with a time of worship, and it set a great tone for the day. And not only did we learn how to be better actors, but it also opened us up to hearing

As you can tell, I rearranged the blog this week. I turned 16 on the 16th, so I figured something a little new might be fun. =) As I was working on the header, I looked up quotes... and found a lot that I liked! I used one by Audra Foveo-Alba (because we share the same first name), but I thought I'd share the other ones that I would've loved to have used. Writing is a socially acceptable form

365 reasons to love America!The fife and drum of history mark the time of each passing day. And within their cadence, personalities, conflicts, discoveries, ideas, and nations peal and fade. American history is no different. From the starving time of Jamestown during the Winter of 1609, through the bloody argument of the Civil War, and to today, the United States is a tale best told one day at a

I haven't really felt like writing lately. I've gotten a little lazy. So, I apologize for my laziness. Critique group is tomorrow, so we'll see if that spurs me on at all.*sigh*I'm tired. I stayed up til 2:30 a.m. reading this book. I finished it this morning. One of my best friends read it a couple years ago, and I randomly found it at the library on Monday, so I thought I'd read it. It started

I have a confession to make.I'm 15 and I still watch the Disney Channel.YES, I do watch Hannah Montana (I actually watched six episodes of season three last night). And NO, I don't hate it.Recently, DC has started a new show called Sonny With a Chance. It's about a girl, Sonny Monroe, who gets a chance to make it big in Hollywood. It took a few episodes for the show to grow on me, but I

So, the name's Audra. Some of you know me as Elizabeth, and still some of you know me as Audrey (but you're under 5 and most likely don't know this is here; however, you helped name this blog). I'm 15, adore music, and do very crazy things (like wear a toboggan in 84 degree weather and listen to Christmas music in April), but most importantly, I write. It's become like a lifeline for me.
