Oh the struggles of being a writer! I worry daily about my characters. Some peopl,e worry about their kids, their friends, their jobs...I worry about all those thigns, but on top of it all, i worry about my characters. If i'm doing them justice, if they will learn from their situation, what will the audiance think of them?? it's just a constant struggle. The struggle is real folks!

yes i am alive. barely!

today i am editing chp 4. editing something that you wrote a year earlier is like pulling teeth~!

i love this picture, it's a sketch of two of my other characters that i need to start writing about soon.

today i am busily trying to create my online presence as a writer. It is an interesting experience, putting my own thoughts out into the world for the unknown masses to see. When i write a novel, true i write my thoughts, but it is under the secret guise of a fictional character who can say things and do things that I don't have to be wholly responsible for. Today I am going to re-write my first three chapters. I pray to the muses that I will be successful.

The Wrappings of a Writer

Today I am working on getting my novel published. the endless editing of a finished work is daunting, but I must press forward in my quest for publication.

still nothing done

I went shopping today. My way of getting out of writing. A sinful way to spend money and a way to get out of writing. When kyla woke up I took us to burger king to get their 2 for 3 dollar croissants. (They didn't taste as good as i remember them to taste) and then we went to the dollar store, and then the d.i. I bought some necessities at the dollar store, and i actually found 2 dresses at the di. I also found a cute little dress for kyla. 18 dollars spent in all. Not bad. Now i just wonder what i'm going to wear with the outfits shoe wise. I have black shoes for one and gold shoes for the other. Both dresses have really low necks, so im going to have to wear a tank top underneath but oh well.

i don't know why i've all of a sudden not doing very well on the writing front. i should be making leaps and bounds in everything but the thought of going over my book again (Picture of the Desert) just seems really dull. I was never good at editing things more than once. (Which w0uld explain my b average) and i know the novel needs desperate work. I also know that no self respecting editor would print my work in the shape that it is! I guess it's just a daunting feeling that there's so much to do and it took me about 2 months to go over it the first time. (Okay three months).
