Borders Books To Liquidate

Months after declaring bankruptcy and with no buyer in sight, Borders Books has requested the court's permission to liquidate the stock at its 399 locations.
The U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of New York is set to approve the move on Thursday. Liquidation sales could start as soon as Friday. In a statement, Borders President Mike Edwards said the changing book industry and the economy hastened the chain's demise. Borders had been seeking a new white knight bidder after a $215 million bid by private equity firm Najafi Cos. dissolved late last week. Creditors and lenders argued the chain would be worth more if it liquidated immediately.

Jane Fonda: Teabaggers Forced QVC To Cancel My Appearance

According to a post on Jane Fonda's personal blog, wingnuts forced QVC to cancel a planned appearance to hawk her new book, Prime Time.
Bottom line, this has gone on far too long, this spreading of lies about me! None of it is true. NONE OF IT! I love my country. I have never done anything to hurt my country or the men and women who have fought and continue to fight for us. I do not understand what the far right stands to gain by continuing with these myths. In this case, they denied a lot of people the chance to hear about a book that can help make life better, easier and more fulfilling. I am deeply grateful for all of the support I have been getting since this happened, including from my Vietnam Veterans friends.

SAN DIEGO: Fire Damages Gay Bookshop

Rex Wockner reports that last night a fire severely damaged Obelisk, San Diego's LGBT bookstore.
The building housing San Diego's gay bookstore, Obelisk, was declared off-limits by the city tonight after a fire heavily damaged the structure's second and third stories this afternoon. The store won't be allowed to re-open until the building is repaired. From about 30 feet away, it appeared that the contents of the store likely had sustained heavy water damage, as well.

Who wants the Animorph/The Vampire Diaries/Twilight books by email?

Who here loves The Animorphs Books?
I do! Personally, it was one of my most favourite shows ever when I was younger (still is).
My two most favourite have to be Jake (Shawn Ashmore) and Tobias (Christopher Ralph). I was in love with Tobias when i was little, and now it's one of my most favourite names.
I have the whole books series on my computer too (and I have The Vampire Diaries/Twilight books too).
So if anyone wants it, give me your email addresses and I'll send any one of them to you.
I love The Vampire Diaries more than Twilight..Twilight is more unrealistic in my opinion (I know vampire aren't real but what about the lore of it all?).
I have more drawings, but i'll put them up later...:D

Dear Log,


I don't really know how i feel today...
This feels like a diary, so i'll write how i normally write in my diaries....
Um...starting off, i was up late last night talking with my childhood/close friend Lana, one of the best people i know....
Um...pretty angry today, the thing about debates is that i always have my say no matter what...
Cloning was the subject of the matter today, seeing a segment on Sunday Night caught my eye about Animal Cloning and it make me very very angry....
I'm not going to go into it right now, i'll probably right a whole page on how much i detest cloning...
I'm listening to music and getting my mind working for my novels...Music is the greatest thing if you ever need to relax or just daydream.....I happen to daydream every single day, can't help it, it's always my imagination running wild, which is probably why i get really crazy dreams hehe...

Don't you hate it when you get something stuck on your mind every single day? Something you like, but you just can't stop thinking about it? Or it reminds of it? Well it does me, and it does my head in quite a lot....

Listening to Rob Thomas at the moment, beautiful voice....Ever the Same makes me smile whenever i listen to it, the most beautiful song i've ever heard, so far...makes me happy because it's so romantic. I'm such a romance freak hehe, can't help it, but i guess every girl is the same as me...
I wanted to become a writer since i was about 6 years old, when i found out i could write...I know that in primary school, when i was Prep, i published my first book called The Little Possum...i don't have it but apparently the school had it, probably gone from there now...
I love writing, it's something that you can pour your feelings into without giving too much away about yourself. Whatever I feel, I put it into my Characters and storylines...
I have to say in one of my novels, the main one, the main character is basically me in another person, and she's been me since i was six years old...
I've written so many stories since i was six, and each in turn pleasing my readers which made me want to write more...then i got the idea, what if i can write books that i can publish and sell? I don't actually remember how my main novel that i'm writing actually came into my head, seeing as i was 6 years old at the time, but i knew back then that i'll keep writing this novel until i've finished and when i have the money i'll publish them and hopefully, just hopefully they'll sell...
Trying to think of my author name was another thing, something that'll sell or something that just looks nice on a book cover...so i thought of S.K.SAINI...which looks good and will hopefully sell books.
I know i'm probably rambling about things, but i'm in the talkative mood today, i wouldn't write so much on my diary because let's face it your hand just tires out and you can't write anymore, but on a computer? Well that makes your hand write more than you normally do writing without one...probably doesn't make sense, but it makes sense to me...
Other than writing as my hobby i like to draw...i can say so myself i'm a pretty good drawer (not in high school though, i sucked, but still okay), I'm the best at drawing if i go by tutorials, all the drawings i have ever showed my friends are either by myself, or i followed tutorials...I suck at drawing people, i'm trying to draw myself at the moment and it's pretty hard work, you can't get the distinctive features right and it's kind of annoying lol...
Well I think i've written and rambled on enough today, i'll probably right more tomorrow if i feel like it...

Bye Log

Hello Bloggers!

Hi guys,
I'm new to this blog stuff, so if i muck up on something, my bad!

I'm only doing this blog stuff because of my close friend Cory, i've seen his blogs and i love it, so i thought i would start one myself, and to get with the times hehe.

For all those who don't know who i am, my name is Mindy and i am an aspiring author ready to make readers awed and get noticed by the public for my writing.
I will post my thoughts, poems that i write, bits of my chapters from my novels, so those out there who are willing to buy my books in the near by future can get a glimpse of what i write. I will also write my thoughts on other things too just so you can get to know me at the same time.

Thanks for reading, by the way i'm still new to this so i don't know what to say after writing a comment lol, it's like writing a diary i suppose...
