Yet Another Blog

Ok, there is no promise that this blog will be updated everyday. There is a promise though that I WILL write every day. That is, I'm using this blog for what to write when I'm stuck on a story I'm working on. This being said, expect now to have few to no updates come November as I will be hard at work focusing on NANOWRIMO. google it if you don't know what that is.

So... I guess for the purposes of this blog I should tell you what I'm currently working on. I'm working on a story currently titled Imperfectly Perfect. Which is kind of exciting cause I almost never have a title when I'm working on something. I'm about four chapters in and the work is officially too long to be called a short story. It's about an everyday girl named Callie who has to choose between two boys, one who really likes her and one whom she really likes, as to who she will attend prom with. Though the story, as I'm planing it, will start with high school and end with her being married. I'm very excited about it. I have been on writer's block with it for the past 2-3 weeks, where everything I wrote sounded awkward and odd and just...weird. But I was at work on Friday working hard when the solution came to me and I wrote all the way through my 30 minute lunch. It is sooo good to have writer's block gone so quickly, and not only that but to continue with the same story I was working on before writer's block. Usually writer's block for me means the end of another project and ends whenever I get a new idea for a story. Not this time! Which is encouraging as far as my career of being an author goes. I mean, I've no chance for it if I go and just stop every story I start in the middle of writing it.

I've this life-goal to be published by the time I'm 30. I'm currently 21 and for the first time since I started writing in sixth grade I feel like I can achieve this goal. I mean, my writing has improved a lot and I really actually enjoy reading that which I write now. And with writer's block occuring for shorter amounts of time, so long as i get a finished work by the time I'm 23-25 I feel very confident on this goal.

Also, though I've always enjoyed reading, I've also made it my goal to read more this year. I'm not entirely sure of every book I've read but I'll list the ones I know here:

1. Blood Promise- Richelle Mead

2. Spirit Bound- Richelle Mead

3. Confessions of a Shopoholic- Sophie Kinsella

4. Will Grayson, Will Grayson- David Leviathan/John Green

5. Succubus Blues- Richelle Mead

6. Succubus on Top- Richelle Mead

7. Succubus shadows- Richelle Mead

8. Succubus dreams- Richelle Mead

9. Succubus Heat- Richelle Mead

10. The next Thing On My List- Forgot author.

11. Teen Idol- Meg Cabot

12. Geek Charming- Meg Cabot

13. When It Happens- Forgot Author

14. Peeps- Scott Westerfeld

15. Secret Hour- Scott Westerfeld

16. Touching Darkness- Scott Westerfeld

and that's all I can think of for now. Also, my husband is reminding me that I need sleep as I must get up and go to work and work my butt off again in a little over 8 hours. fun. not.

Anyways, not the 1000 words I wanted but it will do for now. See you tomorrow, or hopefully not as I really should be working on Imperfectly Perfect.
