Delayed...

It seems I'm getting a bit unproductive lol. I'm just trying to wrap up senior year the best way I can and then hopefully I can jump back in heavily and get some stuff done before college. I can't see any futures as far as the next minute and my cards are destined to play how they will so I plan to just go with the flow but still having control of the situation.

Check It!

Just checking in. Still hard at work in school and fitting in slices of writing. Wooh! I'm tired. I ahve no goals or thoughts on when I'll be done making notes. I just feel like its a long ways from now. But in the mean time. Enjoy Life+Love+Friends and wish me luck!

Food for thought

Wouldn't it be terrifying if someone was after you. And no one could catch them. They could pop up at any time and in any given place. They could take and do anything that they wanted when they wanted. No one could dream of doing anything about it. The essence of a shadow or smoke were it personified. Just something to think about...

Back to Work!!!

The break was good. I wouldn't say I came any closer to getting anymore schoolwork done, but I feel ready to come back to my book. I am putting together some major plot details. It is coming together better than expected. I'm working to make it original and knock off the cliche-ness of some of it. I don't like reading or writing anything unoriginal. I love this book. It gives me what I need out of life. And I have accomplished what I set out for in the last post. I'm writing with renewed eyes and not forcing it at all, and I feel great about this. So work hard, play hard. Enjoy!!!

New Page

I really don't know how other writers do it. But I think I need to take a break. I feel the further I get in this. The less I seem to have. My plot is running really shallow. At least it seems like it is to me. So I'll let my creativeness flow. It seems a little dry. I feel like I have nothing to pull from. I think this may be writer's block. I'll take a bit. Maybe a week to get myself together. Read. Get some schoolwork done. Better myself in the many ways I need to do that. I won't totally block out any flow of ideas. I'll still jot them down when they come. I just won't force them. I'll let them come to me.

Learning & Growing

I feel confident that I am almost ready to move forward with my story. I had to take a break and figure some things that I left hanging and some schoolwork was put on the back burner so once I get things at a constant I will continue. It's a little difficult but I'll be okay. I am managing. I like the things I am coming up with. I definitely feel that I am learning and growing slowly but surely. I'm proud. No matter if this story takes 8 years to complete. I WILL make take as long as I need. This book deserves every piece of greatness I can give it.

Update

I have just completed my third chapter and am in the process of transferring it from notebook to laptop. Then I will start on the fourth chapter. I am proud of what I have. But I have to keep reminding myself this is just the first draft. It isn't that great of a novel right now. And I can't say that I like what I have written. But I will hopefully feel better once it is all written down and I can start editing and doing the second, third, fourth and so on drafts. That will add meat to these bones. :)
