Carpal Tunnel

March 27th 2008 05:41
Well I haven't been here in ages and OF COURSE when I want to get back into writing a lot more, I get something that MIGHT be carpal tunnel.

Now doesn't my life just suck?

So it's not quite every day yet...

February 21st 2008 15:29
However I have been writing! I've been writing quite a lot lately, actually, and the other day I sent out two of my poems to small no-pay markets. I need to get my name out there somehow, even if it's just 'I was published by Unheard of Magazine 1', ya know?

I've been very hard-working, studying, looking at things, reading, writing, all sorts of things lately. My school attendance is still lacking and that is simply because I don't care. I don't care about my education. Really.

I look forward to the day I can drop out because I hate school. I don't want it nor do I feel a need for it. My calling-my only calling-is in the arts. If I can't be in the arts, I can only be nothing.

But I will make it in the arts. I can feel it. I'm happy. For once, the long, dark tunnel of depression is missing in action (sort of). And I am DETERMINED to become a writer, and I am DETERMINED that this will work.

So. I'm back. For good this time, I hope.

Stress leave

January 31st 2008 13:58
I'm on hiatus for reasons not writing-related. Mostly my mother.

Writing Is Difficult Without Computer

January 20th 2008 00:35
I've got very, very limited computer access right now (as in I only have it at my bf's), so my writing is flopping and so is my blogging.

But I AM alive. Yay.

Been Sick But I'm Back Into It

January 14th 2008 04:16
I've been getting hugely back into my writing as I recover from my stress sickness. I'm getting seriously into it because I want to make a career out of this.

This is my life, this is my dream, this is my career. It is everything to me and it is my only passion-honestly, it's the only thing other than my spirituality that I care about

Not much to say

January 8th 2008 20:10
I wrote a couple poems, but they sucked pretty badly. So guess what? I've got nothing else to say, I'm just updating to update.

So here's my plan. I'm going to spend the next few days doing market research. I'm going to write out a list of likely markets and listing those here. That way I'll be motivated to write and submit, and you guys will see some possible markets.

I'm going to restart this blog fully ASAP, it's just I need some time to get myself organized and to get myself with ideas. Eventually everything will be back in good shape around here, but it will take some time [ Click here to read more ]

E...dit...ing?

November 29th 2007 04:25
So here's my wonderful update. I have done absolutely nothing. I've started on a new poetry book, as well as writing my nanowrimo and other such wonderful things. I've started what will be a very long series of books for my nanowrimo now, and I'm going to finish editing, synopsizing, and querying with Moonshadow's Guardian.

I have to do one more generic edit of that book, plus formatting. (I WISH I knew somebody who would format the thing for me, but I don't ) I'm also writing a lot lately, because of the time of month; it tends to be my most active. THe time of year, I mean

It's been a pretty long time, huh?

November 19th 2007 04:00
Well I'm about ready to get fully into the swing of blogging. I need to find my binder with all my brainstorms in it. I promise you one post every day until Christmas break starts, at which time I should be able to start posting twice a day.

So, let me fill you in on all that has happened in my writing world. I have been writing a little here and there. I've also been doing nanowrimo like a mad woman, although I wouldn't call much of it decent fiction. I've returned to my first ever series and I'm really working on it. Starting tomorrow I'm going to get back into editing Moonshadow-and I think this will be the last edit

Editing Update 05/09/07

September 5th 2007 22:02
Apparently my computer desk was mortally wounded; it collapsed completely. Which means odd posts after school when I can swing it.

I've started high school, and thanks to wonderfully odd sleeping hours, I fell asleep shortly after I got home yesturday... sadly, no editing to report. I have no idea how I'm going to get any work done on Jihad, but I'll do my best. I'll write chapter two no matter if it kills me

Editing Update 2/09/07

September 3rd 2007 06:28
I've been doing the mind-numbing work that is formatting, although I've really enjoyed some of the reading involved. I've also worked on the first chapter of Jihad and it's finished. It's really short as my first chapters are wont to be, but I don't think this one needs much more detail.

After all, there's only so much a character is allowed to know upon waking up with wings in some strange place they suspect is a cult temple, right

Editing Update 1/09/07

Editing is a word that has made itself foreign to me in the last couple of days. My muse has returned and I've been dealing with some serious friend issues but now it's over and I should be back to work soon enough...

I did read through the first 10 chapters and revise them a bit. I suck at beginnings.

At least I admit it

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday...

It's the hottest day of the year and I haven't left the house at all. My internet has returned from its way-too-long vacation. My editing hasn't really returned yet. I'm not able to get into it like I was before; the heat has completely fried my brain and I'm finding myself completely unable to think straight

Editing update 27/08/07

My birthday is tomorrow!!! I was working today, all went well, but as for the editing...

I did a fair bit of brainstorming. You know, got all the basic ideas out. For Jihad, I have a mix of brainstorming and outlining, which is there to tell me what I need to write. I also did a lot of brainstorming for blogs. The hope is-in order to make best use of my time-that I will be able to write a post every day, no matter if it gets posted THAT day. This way, I'll have some backups, anyway

Sorry People

August 17th 2007 11:56
I basically ran for 15 hours on 5 hours of sleep before falling unconscious. It's a long, vaguely unpleasant story. I didn't get time to blog, and when I woke up today I was playing Final Fantasy 12 for over an hour. So I still have no real time to blog, 'cause I'm leaving in just over 20 minutes.

Tonight I have a baseball game. Then I have to go somewhere with a computer and internet, which is one of two places at the moment. So, I'll probably be blogging at almost midnight tonight. Sadly

Not much today. Actually, I didn't do anything, and I won't get a chance to; I'm heading out now and I won't get home until around eleven thirty. I'm working tomorrow starting at 9:15, so I need to sleep.

See you tomorrow! (I'll post today's post tomorrow. Just think of it as late. Sorry.)

Editing Update: 15/08/07

August 15th 2007 01:24
So, I'm on chapter one of the new and improved Fairy Tales books. Starting with The Sisters. So far it has a very modern, urban feel to it, what with Alana and her single mom, their little bungalow and her laptop. Her voice is very much overly-mature ten year old who's been through the tough times, and my writing it makes it just that much more realistic.

By the end of the book, everyone will probably be looking at me funny, seeing as how it and the two after it are pretty much high fantasy, with a couple sci-fi elements thrown in. (One's about the Magi taking over the world, and one's about the afterlife, then about a colony, then about trying to stop someone from killing off the main character. Long story. Took 3 50K novels to tell it the first time around
