Monday Brain: What audiobook do you recommend?

Today's Monday brain is groggy as all hell. I had a long weekend of social interaction and although needed, I am kind of exhausted because normally when I catch up with my friends it involves whiskey. haha. I had a fun weekend catching up with friends and getting into shenanigans, but it's made my Monday brain sluggish, but that's what coffee is for.

Couple things on my mind.

Periscope live stream for #WhereIWrite was a success! Other than my ridiculous ramblings because I forgot about the public wandering around me watching me talk into my phone for the broadcast! If you'd like to watch the replay of the my broadcast, definitely check out the video! It was a lot of fun walking through Balboa Park, showing off my favorite writing spot, and discussing my writing process and my reference books! Thanks to Wattpad for the epic opportuntiy to participate in #WhereIWrite. You can find my page for #WhereIWrite [HERE]



I'm also a jumbled mess, and can't possibly focus on work because I leave for LOVE N VEGAS
author event this Friday! SO EXCITED! My friend is flying out from Portland to meet me! And all I can think about is tanning poolside with a margarita. (I need to mentally check out so bad, haha). I'll be attending as a reader and can't wait to get my books signed. Also, I'm planning on attending the afterparty. So, not only am i stoked on meeting my favorite authors, I'm looking forward to partying with them. Let the fangirling commence.
I decided to drive from San Diego instead of fly, which isn't a terrible drive, but it means I'll have 4 hours to "me, myself, and I". This is a perfect opportunity to get my audiobook on. I have been heavy in sci-fi audiobook world, and I think I need something fun an romance-y for my journey to Love N Vegas, so I think I decided on finally starting a Jay Crownover book! I'm going to listen to RULE! Check out the question below, cuz I'm kinda on an audiobook binge! I'd love to hear your recommendations! You never know why I might actually pick for my drive.

Question to the blog:


Also, this week should be when I complete my newest novel FAHRENHEIT! I'm really excited about this. Cover reveal is happening on July 20th and will have 99cent preorder links! Are you ready to find out what night club FAHRENHEIT is all about?

Join me for #WhereIWrite on Periscope



I was given the awesome opportunity by Wattpad, an online writing community, to join in the #WhereIWrite project started by Hachette publishing! I'll be live streaming on the Periscope App on July 11th 2015 at Noon PST (or 3pm EST). This app is associated with Twitter, and can be downloaded for FREE to any iPhone or Android. Come follow me!

Username: @oh_alexrosa

The stream won't be short of Alex Rosa awkwardness, or hilarious comments about writing, and what's going on around the broadcast. It's also Comic Con in San Diego, you never know what we might come across. I might even trip and fall, which is worth watching for, right? ;)

Balboa Park. San Diego, CA
With selfi stick in hand, (yes, I did purchase one just for this endeavor, haha), I decided to switch up this hashtag a bit. I enjoy splitting my writing time up. During the week I have my writing cave, but on the weekends I like to cruise to downtown San Diego and get my creative-on at Balboa Park (see picture to the right). Sometimes getting outside, being around people, and in one of my favorite places is where I find the most inspiration, or what may fuel me put words to word document. Balboa Park is my number one go-to for a fresh outlook. So, that's where I'll be doing my live broadcast from. I'll walk you from my car, through the park and to my favorite writing spot. All the while I'll discuss my writing process, show some of my reference tools, and even take comments/questions from viewers during the stream! I'm really excited about this opportunity, and this should be a lot of fun! I won't be on for too long (15 minutes max, I'm telling myself), but would love to see you there! Balboa Park is my favorite place #WhereIWrite, and I can't wait to show you.

If you miss the broadcast Wattpad will be posting up the article on YouTube for everyone to check out.

I hope to see you there on Saturday! I can't wait to let my awkwardness run free ;)
