Today is WIP The Movie Bloghop!!!

I'm so excited! This is going to be so much fun! Today's hop is hosted by Kyra Lennon at Write Here Write Now and Rachel at Writing on the Wall.

Have you ever fantasized about your book being turned into a movie? (If you say no, I might call you a liar.) It's fun to think about. So, we want you to make your movie.

Here are the rules:
Cast at least one character from your book, and post a picture of him or her on your blog.
Post at least one song that would be on the soundtrack.

I decided on my book Displaced Hearts. I always like to have a little background when I read about other people's work so a quick summary of the book:  

Liz Wagner's sure the world is ending when her ex, Zach, moves back to town, but when a shooting sends Liz's brother to the hospital and emotional turmoil renders Liz useless, Zach is the only thing that keeps her world from falling apart.

Hmm.. For Liz I would actually say, Shailene Woodley. With her brown hair and blonde highlights, lingering summer tan and hazel eyes with green specks she's a perfect Liz.
                                      


Zach. Hmm... After much searching the only guy that can come close enough to my vision of Zach is Jean Luc Bilodea:
Liz's best friend Sadie was based on a younger version of Aishwarya Rai Bachan, a Bollywood Actress. (I'm obsessed with her eyes):
And last is Josh, Liz's brother and a big part of the book. I'd say Alexander Ludwig in this picture.
Now the soundtrack. Since it's about a couple who are no longer together, but obviously both still have feelings for one another, even if a particular someone acts as if she can't stand him. lol. The best song for the soundtrack would be:

Check out this new bloghop

Between Cupid's Blind Speed Dating and Editing I have been a terrible blogger. I'm sorry. I will be back next week, hopefully with some fun posts. In the meantime, I just discovered a new bloghop that sounds like it is going to be an absolute blast. Kyra Lennon at Write Here Write Now and Rachel at Writing on the Wall are hosting WIP: The Movie

The details (Taken from Rachel's blog)

Have you ever fantasized about your book being turned into a movie? (If you say no, I might call you a liar.) It's fun to think about. So, we want you to make your movie.

Here are the rules:
Cast at least one character from your book, and post a picture of him or her on your blog.
Post at least one song that would be on the soundtrack.
Follow me and Kyra. (We will follow back.)
Post your entries on March 9th, hop around and check out people's posts.

Kyra and I will each draw a winner from all the blogs who play along. You will get to choose between two books.

Kyra will be offering a choice between Water for Elephants or Bridget Jones' Diary. (Both books to movies which she enjoyed.)
I will be offering a choice between The Princess Bride, (best book to movie ever) or The Hunger Games, (which I'm hoping will be good.)

Blog about this before March 8th and you'll get your name in the drawing an extra time. Let us know if you do, so we don't miss it. Thanks!


I can't wait! Now to pick which WIP I want to use. Hmm.... Hope to see you all there :)
