Career WHAT - Nonfiction series in the making

Hello dear readers and Twitter-fans.
I would like to announce that I am working on a new nonfiction series. This series is called Career W.H.A.T. This series is about work. I know that is not necessarily the best topic to deal with but people wish to know about jobs before they get into jobs, right?


My series cover:

            What do you want to be when you grow up? Many children dreamed of becoming police, firefighters, astronauts, and actors. We don’t all follow those jobs, however, so what happened to all those dreamers? Some of us fall into a job just to make bills, but others of us actually start a career path that we think we will stay in. Sometimes we do stay on one career path but we also can change paths to go into a different field. Whether you are the college student who is looking to start a new career, the high school student who has to find a job to save up for a car, or an adult who is thinking of swapping careers, the main predicament is what field is the right one for me? No one can tell you exactly, but it is a good thing to do some research before choosing a field of work. How can you do the research without trial and error? Ask someone who has been there before. What is that field like? Is it worth it?

            The Career W.H.A.T. series is here to help you with those questions. Gracie Mae DeLunac has asked a few people about their experiences to bring you this book. In this book, people who have been there can answer a few of your questions: What is the training like? What kind of embarrassing experiences have you had, or seen, in the field? What nightmares does the job instill? What makes you enjoy this job? What do you hate about this field?  The answers may not be what you want to hear or they may be exactly what you need to hear. Maybe you will find that you might like this field or that you could not handle what they went through. Either way, step into their shoes to experience the field. Sit back and enjoy.

The "career fields" that I have put together:

1. Sales and Retail

2. Science

3. Medical (Vet, Doctor, Nurse, Ambulance, Paramedics, etc.)

4. Security (Police, Military, Mall cop, Bodyguard, etc.)

5. Firefighting

6. Delivery (Postal, FedEx, UPS, etc.)

7. Entertainment (Writers, Musicians, Artists, Actors, etc.)

8. Food Service (Groceries, Farming, Butcher, Pizza Delivery, Restaurants [Fast food, sit down, and take out], etc.)

9. Fashion (Design, Salon, Hairstylist, etc.)

10. Transportation – passenger (Bus, Train, Plane, Taxi, Limo, etc.)

11. Transportation – property (semis, etc.)

12. Hospitality (Hotels, Valets, CSRs, Wedding Planners, etc.)

13. Legal (Lawyers, Judges, Social Work, Politicians, etc.)

14. Teaching/Education

15. Financial (Insurance, Banking, Stocks, etc.)

16. Non-Profit

17. Fitness (Athlete, Trainer, etc.)

18. Technological

19. Business (Owner, Office Staff, etc.)

I am looking for volunteers to give me a few of their memories for these tales. Please contact me if you wish to volunteer.

FYI - Twitter - Writing

Hey ya'll.
Just an FYI, I did not die. I just disappeared. I haven't done any reviews lately but I might be getting back to that. I wish to watch "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" next, on Netflix, for the reviews but haven't gotten into the mood for it lately [near a year?].

I have joined Twitter. https://twitter.com/Gracie_DeLunac @Gracie_DeLunac
If anyone is interested, I am there....

And yes, I am writing. Atrevea and False Prophecy are on the stand-by, if you are curious. I am working on Hejkerba again and this time, with a plotline!, I think I can write the whole thing. Wish me luck on that!

Movie Review - "Divergent" 03/21/2014

This movie review is for "Divergent" released in 2014, seen 8/25/2014 by Gracie Mae DeLunac.


Trailer:

Criteria:

0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.

1/5 – Barely worth any time.

2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.

3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.

4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.

5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around – characters, music, theme, storyline, etc.

This is another one of those book-to-movie movies and, though I have not read the books, it seems like a very interesting plotline to me.  It is set in a post-war setting where a city (Chicago) has tried to survive as a united populace.  To do so, the population is separated into 5 factions - the smart (become doctors, etc.), the honest (become judges, etc.), the kind (are mostly farmers), the brave (become army), and the selfless (become government).  Each faction has their own way of life and their own way of surviving.  The question is if they can continue playing nice with each other or if they will have issues, especially trust issues and intelligence battles.

When a person comes of adult age (not mentioned what that age was), they have to take a mental test to see what faction they fall into.  Some take the test and find out that they are not categorized as one single faction.  They are labeled Divergent, a threat to society according to some of the Erudite (smart faction). The main character Beatriz, later known as Tris, is one of these people.

They have to then choose which faction they want to go into and hopefully their choice is to be with their born faction or the faction that the test suggest they are most compatible with.
For Beatriz and her brother, they both chose a non-born faction, which made society wonder why.

The rest of the movie is pretty much Tris (she changes her name when she gets into her new faction) learning how to be part of her new faction and how to hide the fact that she is a Divergent.  Oh, and there is a disagreement between factions, started by the Erudite pretty much "in the interest of all".  :-/


Music:
The music was exciting.  I was trying to pay attention to it more than usual because the beginning credits said that Hans Zimmer did the arrangements.  For those of you who don't know who Hans Zimmer is, he is the one who did the Pirates of the Caribbean music arrangements.  For this movie, it was very well placed.  :-)


Relationships:
Beatriz's relations with her parents were not really expounded because she wasn't with them long in the beginning of the movie.  Just enough to know that she cared for her parents and brother.
Tris' relation with her initiates seemed to be just a "we're new to the place" kind of relation and not much more details to it.  Sure they hung out after one of the tests but not like intimate conversations with them.
Her relation with a guy (not mentioning who) seemed a bit haphazard.  It kinda just happened.  She ends up telling him "I love you" though they also kinda seemed to be thrown together because they are both in the faction together.  They end up with a happy ending, even when the world seems against them, but no more info for you because that would be a slight spoiler.



---------
As this is 06/22/2015 and still not posted, I will cut the review short and give it a rating.
4/5 - I liked this movie and am interested in seeing more about this series. I definitely think this is a better story for younger females than some I have seen (Twilight, sorry). Check it out if you wish! :-)
