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...
