Hi,
I just wanted to let you know I won't be writing, or updating here for a couple of weeks. I will be leaving tomarrow for a two week vacation. Upon my return, I am going to begin working together with my friend April to form some writing goals. We're both having trouble sticking to or goals. We thought a partnership might make life easier. Wish us luck.

Research
Hi Guys,
Today started checking out publishers so I can resend a previously published manuscript. I never knew how exhausting looking at websights actually was. If I do it for pleasure, I can look at them all day long, and it doesn't bother me. Perhaps it's because i concentrate on these sights more closely, reading the fine print and all that. Thus far, I've checked out five different websights. A few of them look promising, but I think I want to review a few more before making my final descion and typing up my cover letter and everything.
Worked on my script for a while this morning. I was at it for a couple of hours, but didn't get very far. Perhaps I'm having an off day. I am not going to use that as an excuse, though. Instead, I think I'll take the oportunity and use it to start reworking one of my short stories and get it in shape to send to publishers. It's always something. Hoope everyone had a good holiday last week. Talk to you all later. Happy writing!

Something Different
Hi Guys,
I have not given up on my novel, but no angle I try seems to be working these days. Instead, I have decided to try writing a script. I have never tried to do that before-well not since I was a little kid anyway. Maybe something will come out of this project. I hope so. Wish me luck everyone.

A While
Hi all,
I have been going through a really diffficult time lately. Okzy. This is parcially my own fault. I should've listened to everyone when they told me this 56 year old man I learned was a preditor was bad news! I didn't. The whole of my life is being affected. I don't sleep, or when I do I have waking nightmares. During the day, I freak out and jump at every little sound thinking it's that stranger coming after me. If for some reason I am alone in the hous-which is not something that happens too often nowadays-I believe someone will find some way to get inside my home. Never mind the fact I have dogs to protect me. I just don't know anymore. At night, I lay there thinking that I need to erase myself. Not that suicide would solve anything, but I just can't handle this. I feel like I have been sitting here watching someone else go through this horrific experience. None of it seems real! Help!

Writing
Hi guys,
I don't know how I managed it, but I have actually written a descent first few paragraphs. It's weird. When I feel I do not have enough energy to complete any task is when I seem to do the best writing. At least as far churning out ideas goes. My editing definately leaves something to be desired on these days, though. Oh well! This weekend has been relatively quiet. I went on a short date yesterday with another member of the club I joined a while back. You would think meeting all these new people would help improve my writing. Instead it seems to offer more destractions for me. Anyway, I think I am going to try to do some more writing, or maybe take a nap given the fact I did not really sleep last night. Don't you hate it when people get suicidale and keep you up half the night while you cry to calm them. Oh well! such is life. I'll undate more later when my eyes aren't heavier than concrete!

Another Blog
Hi,
Two entries in one day. I must really be confused. I have to wonder why anyone would like me. I act like such a baby! I am so clingy. Someone needs to do away with me. I am requesting no one help me out with this. I am an adults and should not ever ask for help. Thanks for at least reading this.

Confused
Hi,
I don't understand people. They claim they are your best friends and will always be there. Then, they fall in love and friendship just flies right out the window. It's no wonder none of my ideas work. How can they when I feel so lousey about everything else going on in my life. For a while things were looking up. And I still have friends. However, I feel that last night someone I considered to be a really good friend dumped a bucket of ice water on me. I am doing something I promised her I would not. Moreover, I swore this friend would not be aware of what I had done. However, maybe I will clue her in. She is probably about to break off our so-called friendship anyway. Why are boyfriends so much more important that friends? I will never understand this. Thanks for reading this post. I know it is quite depressing.

The Idea
Hi all,
I wrote a few paragraphs this morning of my new novel and then shared it with some young adult readers that are on my buddy list. They liked it. One of them even told me they wish more people would go in the direction I am headed. I do agree with her. The kidnapped by predito thing has been done to death, as has the troubled teen bit. I have decided to have these two people that met on-line go on what the girl thinks is a vacation. Instead the girl has been kidnapped and her friends and family must work together to get her out of the situation safely. If this is not orginal, I do not know what is. I am holding my breath, hoping that this idea is workable for more than one chapter. Anyway, time to have lunch and go back to writing.

Catching Up With Reality
Hi all,
I can't believe I have not updated in over a month. I suck at this portion of my "career" I guess. As you guys know, when I wrote my last entry six thousand years ago I was tossing around different ideas for a Young Adult novel. Well, late last night it came to me. I've always been told it is best to draw from your own experiences when you write. A short while back, my lack of street smarts get the better of me. Okay. That isn't entirely true. This wasn't my fault. Either way, some preditor found all my personal information. The guy even claims he saw parts of my body I would never show. It turned out that guy is a preditor. He had hooked up some kind of gadget that allowed him to view my web cam even when I did not have it on. What if that happened to someone else, only they did not walk away unharmed. Wouldn't an insident make a great story for young adults?

Mad
Hi all,
I can't believe what someone said yesterday. Just because I enjoy writing fanfiction as a hobbie, it means I'm not a real writer. The so-called woman that said that must not be a real writer. Or else, her writing is going so bad nowadays that she can't come up with anything to do beyond ensuring that others feel as low on the food chain as she does. Bitch!

Seeing People
Hi all!
I have plans tonight. Perhaps getting to hang out with real people will help me. Does depression make it hard for anyone else to write? I've been majorly depressed lately. The worst part about all of this, is I don't know why. I know I haven't had much to feel good about, but still. Wish me luck.

Help At Last
Hi guys!
I can't believe it! This morning I chated with a living, breathing author. She is going to try to help me write a novel that I don't manage to hit a brick wall in the middle of. Maybe she and I will be able to work together to form scheduales and deadlines that will be as stress free as possible. I am crossing my fingers and jumping for joy even thinking about such possibilities. Okay. I'm off now! Step number one. Stop being a lazy bones.

Making Characters
Hi,
Sorry I didn't write for a few days. I have been tossing around different ideas that my novel could go in. While watching Lady and the Tramp the other day, I came up with an interesting concept. Why not write a Young Adult novel having animals portray humans for young adults. At first I thought this was the stupidest thing my brain had ever conjered up. Upon asking around, though, I learned using animals as characters for young adult and even adult books was actually quite common. All I have to do is come up with an original plot and flesh out my characters. I'm definately not looking forward to this part of writing my book. I wish someone could complete these tasks for me. Oh well! I am off to get started. Procratinating won't make the job any easier.

A Thought
Hi Guys,
I'm about to start my day. Before I do, however, I thought I would share something with my fellow writers. People always say that you should write what you have already experienced. It is this author's personal beliefe that in some instances the afore mentioned statement is a falsehood. For instance, if you're an emotional wreck like myself, you should probably not write about subjects such as kidnapping or death. By that same token, writing about the things that can hurt you can be a descent way to rid yourself of the memories-wheather they were caused by years of torment from family or peers, or the inner anxst that so often plagues young men and women without a single sole ever knowing it. If you choose to wrap parts of your life around your characters in a story, don't overlook your positive experiences. The one thing everyone has tatooed to my forehead is be true to yourself. Don't rearrange your emotions to suite other peoples tastes.
Okay. Now that I've wasted about fifteen minutes of my time that should have been spent on something more productive, I am going to go. Thanks for reading me. Happy Writing!

Hello Fellow Writers
Hi all,
I have been a member of the general writing world since I was a child. Back then I wrote only for the fun of it. Nobody cared if I made silly spelling or grammatical mistakes. As everyone knows, nothing stays the same. Many years have passed. The second grader who wrote for amusement has given way to a twenty-three year old that feels that writing has become more of a chore.
Don't get me wrong. I still find joy in doing it. That said, the preassure of turning my spare time hobby into a way to support myself in the real world has changed my perspective. Ultimately, knowing I have to watch myself to ensure my stories are relatively error free places a great ammount of stress on me. No. That can't be correct. If anything, that is just another dumb excuse to stack on top of the pile I can't help pondering if I am only is pondering such thoughts. Moreover, if this is so, why am I this way? What makes me such a slacker? Won't someone please help me to improve my lazy ways. I will owe whoever does my life!
