Hey Everyone

How's it going? I am having more luck actually writing but again am extremely tempted to start more novels. I may give in just because some of the ideas are added on or something to better some old ideas I had for novels which barely (if ever) made it onto paper. The reason I am even more tempted to start more partly because everything I've written recently are romance novels. Which I love romance and I am not ashamed to write romance, I just to wanted my first book published to be a romance. I think as a diverse writer it may be easier to start in a genre like fantasy or sci-fi to get myself recognized and then publish some of my romances. For whatever reason I think it would be harder to get published the other way around. So in conclusion, I've made progress, all on romance novels, and I may start something else that would be in Fantasy or Sci-Fi (most likely fantasy cause that is easier for me to write).

Having Fun

Hey guys. I'm having a little bit of trouble staying on task or sitting down to actually write. So yesterday I went onto my cell phone and deleted all of the games on there. I'm also going to try and cut down on the amount of TV I watch because that ends up sucking up most of my time. Hopefully I will get something worked on soon. And stop adding to my growing list of works in progress. I keep adding more novels and not finishing any of them. The hard part is I get all these great ideas and I don't want them to disappear on me, but I need to finish some of the stuff I've already started. The life of a writer is alas a hard one. I will try to get something down on paper for one of my novels tonight.

I'm Back

Sorry been gone a while. I have started stories and put some aside. Didn't finish anything during nanowrimo. I have made some good progress on a novel that I started not long ago. It is yet another romance. I really want to do more work on a non-romance novel I just don't have the attention span for it right now. And yes that is me saying that romance novels are easy for me to write and don't take as much thought.
Don't get me wrong, I love reading, and writing, romance novels as much as the next hopeless romantic, but it takes a lot more work to create entire worlds and vocab and names and everything else that goes along with sci-fi and fantasy genres. I think those are the main three that I write in. I do try to write in others, but it is difficult for me.
I have written some horror but they are all short stories. I have tried more realistic fiction, but it takes a lot for that to hold my interest. Well hopefully I can sit down tonight and hammer out a few more pages of any one of my novels.
I can't wait until I finish a novel. Even though after a novel is finished there are still months worth of revision work that needs to be done but at least I will have one all down on paper.

It's NaNoWriMo

For those of you who do not know it is Nanowrimo, or National Novel Writing Month. Yet again it is the time of the year to pick up the pens and get down some major word countage. So far on my novel I am at about 13,000 words and counting. I am getting a little worried though because I am getting bored of the story and with the characters. I guess the next couple of weeks will be the hardest to keep writing, it goes until the end of November (It started Nov. 1st). This is not the farthest I've gotten on a novel but the month isn't over yet. I will try to keep you updated on my progress.
  If you are interested in Nanowrimo go to nanowrimo.org and check it out.

ONE NOVEL

I have decided to try to write just one book at a time. I am working on a novel that has yet to be named. I am at school though so I have to go but I will keep you updated. It is going well so far. TaTa

New Novels New Me

Its been a while. I have longed to write on here and let you all know that I am all right but sadly enough my access to computers is limited at best. I will try to keep you posted. I have started more novels and yet to finish any but that is okay. I have started my autobiography and that has brought up some demons. Talk to you later.

I'm Back

I'm sorry for being gone for so long but I should be back to blogging about the same old stuff again. Talk to you all soon...

Leaving

I will be moving so I probably won't be bloging for a while. I should be back on by the end of the month. Talk to you later.

No Progress

I have yet to pick up a pen this week that I have had off. It is kind of sad seeing as how I have be doing nothing else really but doing internet shopping even though I have no money. I did make a trip to the library and picked up some books though despite the heat (it was 105F). Other than that I do not have much of an update for you guys. Sorry. Perhaps next time.

Summer

Sorry for not posting for a while but I was waiting for the replacement keyboard to come in the mail and the onscreen keyboard is sooo slow. Anywho I haven't writen much but I have done a bit more research on my detective novel (Broken Hearted) thanks to the library. I will try to write more this coming week because I have this week off before I start summer school. I will try to update you by the end of the week. Maybe sooner if anything comes up. Till then...

New Blogs

I have created a new blog with another coming shortly. One is a writing prompt blog, the other is a blog about my drastic change in lifestyle recently. Other than that I don't have much news on my novels. I'm still making slow progress. Hopefully I will have more news for you all soon enough. Till then check out my other blogs.

Where to start...?

I have been busy recently sorry. I have been job searching and switching schools. I have a job interview on coming up in a few days so I am trying to prepare for that. Any way on to about writing...
I wrote a short science fiction piece for a homework assignment and my teacher said that it was some quality science fiction and that he enjoyed reading it. As a writer who doesn't dabble in the science fiction genre it was surprising that a first shot would be enjoyable to read. I have read science fiction before but only from recommendations from people that I trust. I am think that I might try to add on to the story a little bit I think it definately has potential for a good story but I have little confidence that in expansion I will find a successful story. It is worth a shot anyway.
Till next time...

Busy, Busy, Busy

For the last week my life has picked up the pace. I have been exhausted, sleeping all day with barely a minute to myself to write my stories. A positive is that the boredom has faded. I hope I can find a happy medium soon so that I can find time to write again. Well off to bed, I have to be up early tomarrow. Sorry that this was just a small check in and not a longer blog. I hope to talk to you all soon. Till the next time...

Bord!!!!

I am bored out of my mind. I am sick and tired of getting up everyday and doing the exact same things all the time. I am bored to tears with my life. Maybe all of this is seed in some deep down frustration, or maybe it really is the monotony of everyday of finally getting me after months of being confined to my house. I crave change and human interaction with people other than family members. I want to live my life. Ugggh. Sooo Bored. This may seem unrelated to my novel writing but this in fact directly relates to it. I have been so bored by everything that I have not been writing. Hopefully something changes so that I will write again soon, but honestly right now it just doesn't sound to appealing to me. Well I am off to wallow in the monotonous boredom that is my life at the moment. Till next time...

Old Material New Ideas

First off I would like to thank you all for you thoughtful comments the most recent being Maggie's. Thank you guys. Now onto the title. I was sitting there one day just thinking about what I wanted to do and going over the many novels that I was currently writing and I remembered one I had started to write a long time ago. The story had no name and I had only written a few pages but had an idea of where I wanted the story to go. I went to go look for the notebook that it was in and I couldn't find it anywhere. It was and is officially lost. Luckily for me it was a very memorable story. I have managed to write a decent copy of what I remember of the stories beginning. I am missing one crucial part but I am hoping that it will come to me eventually. I haven't gotten further than I did the first time because my brother decided my notebook needed a day at the spa and smeared it with lotion. I just spent the last two days copying words from sopy and crinkly pages to a fresh clean notebook. Needless to say I am frustrated. I have decided to start up a Youth Writer's club at my local library and semi online. Once I get the club going I will be starting a collective blog that all members can access. I think a collective blog is a great idea but it might just turn out as a garbled mess, who knows. It will be a fun experience anyway.

Sadness

I believe that I have reached a point in which I will not be able to finish. I regret my past decisions to not sit down and write more often. I still plan on writing and finishing the novel but it looks as if it will be finished at a later date. I will continue to keep you posted. I have started writing my other novels as well again. It is not that I am abandoning Something Fantastical, it is that I have more motivation to work on my mystery at the moment. I have recently watched the Sherlock BBC Series and it has brought about a renewed drive to create a devilishly difficult mystery. I hope that my novel is complicated enough to keep my audiences attention. Till later I suppose...

Slow

My writing is going very slowly. I believe that I will not make it. I have been trying to write but I have hit a brick wall. I know where I want to go with the story and have a detailed outline but I sit down to write and end up sitting and staring at the page for an hour. The last couple of days I don't think I have made any progress save one sentence. This does not fare well for my goal of reaching 60,000 words by the end of 30 days. For those of you keeping track this is day 15 and I highly doubt that I have 30,000 words. I will still try to write this book exclusively but there is no garuntee of completion any time soon. Now all I need is a literary sledge hammer for the stupid brick wall. Until I find it I will have a very bruised forehead. Till next time...

Thanks all of You

I would like to take this time to thank all of you for your support so far. I have decided to just write that part for now. I can perfect it in the rewrite. I have made little progress but I have made progress. I am beginning to worry that I may not be able to finish on time. Hopefully my fears do not turn out to be the truth. I shall keep you all posted. Looking forward to April Fools. Also I have a new website. Visit if you would like it has more information on my book titles and works in progress. Would love your feedback. http://tmevanswriter.weebly.com Talk to you all soon.

Progress

I am slowly but surely raising the word count everyday. I don't have an exact number for you because half of it is written in a notebook not the computer, making word count harder to get. I figure I can count it all up at the end and see if I made it. The way I see it, if I count all the words right now it cuts into precious writing time. Last night I had a little break down though. I could use your help. I need a phrase that is similar to this one but sounds more put together. Any help would be appreciated. Traveling may get you places but you never know where you'll end up.

Bad/Good News

Okay guys I have decided to set down the mystery novel for now and work on a novel that I have been meaning to write for close to a year now. It's title is Something Fantastical and I am very proud of the plot, which I am sorry to say will not be revealed at this time. To keep me from flip flopping again I have decided to sit down and write this baby in one solid month. That is right folks a month to finish a full length novel. It may sound crazy but it has been done before, by other writers not me. Though I have attempted this before I have failed. What makes this time different you might ask. This is a novel I am dying to write. It may sound silly but I feel like this is the novel I was meant to write. When I look at it it feels like it was the whole reason I became a writer, and that is the best feeling in the world. It does make writing a little daunting though. I have many worries but mostly that my writing is not worthy of the story I have come up with. Hopefully these doubts will subside as I write. Well I am off to write some more and stop procrastinating. This is day 2 in case anyone wants to count along with me.
