My story of the day

Haha! Okay, so, I was on this thing that calculates how much you have done of your essay/book/whatever out of like 50,000 words and it turns out...my book is only 2% done. That is so ridiculous I laughed. I don't know why I haven't been working on it for more than a half an hour a day lately, summer laziness is getting to me! Writing has become homework lately! And I have no idea why! I have everything in my head and I'm all excited about creating the piece of the story about it... but then when I sit down at my computer and start writing I don't know where to go! Writing is so fun for me but at times like these...I feel that it's very, very, hard to get an idea into concrete form on paper. Ah, well, better luck the next time I sit down at my computer to write :)

Other than that, I think that I have finally gotten the basic idea that the whole story will surround around. As I've said before, I have started over on the whole story which was really a drawback because I don't have nearly as much writing as before but it really was necessary. I mean, it was really unorganized and all the stories in there were jumbled and I almost pulled my hair out trying to fix it to make it make sense! So, I started over which much thinking. Now, I started it off with a whole new beginning and I have even started it with a new boy character named Donavan. Not Liam and Seth. I'm trying to get to the part where Liam finds Seth at his house but I'm not sure if I should put that in Chapter 2. I don't know.

Enough about my book. I'm going to the airport in about an hour to pick up my grandfather and I'm not even dressed for the day yet. Life can really get ahead of you if you wear PJs around the house on all your summer days! It's probably best that I am not doing that as often. And today is only the second day of summer!

I really had better go get ready...I can't leave Grandpa stranded! :)

Wish me luck on Linked!

More updates on my book

I have been slacking on updating you on my book so here is some info I haven't shared anywhere else:

I don't have my laptop to work on it so I will have to wait until I get that back and as I said before, I have started over with the whole thing so it will take me a while to get to the place I was at with the other version :(

My second version isn't even a page long due to no laptop :( but I have soo much I want to write! The story is evolving in my head so much it's almost in my head too much...I must write it down!! :D

I'm having a lot of progress on it...in my head but until I have my laptop back, it will have to wait!

Love you!

It's A Snake!!

I have to tell you what happened today. Earlier today, I posted that I was going to be bored all day but I really wasn't!! I went with my dad and brother, Ethan, to an archery range because I do archery! And for fun. Anyway, at the end of the hike and at the last target, we were going to stop at the bathrooms because my brother needed to go. He walked over...opened the door...hesitated for a moment and came back. But he didn't just come back. He ran back with his eyes bugging out practically yelling "It's a snake!!!"!!! It was not funny at the time because we were like "What?!" and when we saw it slither out, our eyes bugged out too and it was just like a rattle snake (size) but wasn't really a rattle snake!!! My dad tried to get it onto my bow like the pro.s do but it didn't work at first.

It finally stayed on my bow and crawled around on it. It was big. I wanted to hold it if it wasn't poisonous but I couldn't. Then, when I remembered Ethan's face, we all started bursting out with laughter. It was so funny! :D

My brother didn't want to go back into the bathrooms...he was too scared. :)

That story was just so funny I had to tell you about it. Archery was fun for the first 6 targets and then it was hot and I didn't want to hike anymore. My dad said if I hit a bullseye from the 20 point, he would get me ice cream and on the third try (I wasn't really trying and I didn't think I could do it) I made it! And then my brother had to make a bullseye to get his icecream :)

I still laugh thinking about today!
