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).

i'm baaaack

Well i don't have much to report. Except i've been a major slacker lately. Mostly because i needed to change the posistion of the computer. Now instead of facing two walls, i'm facing wall, and then side view of the house. So i have a little bit more of a view. And natural light. Always a good thing. I don't know what jon will think of me changing the position of his computer, but until he gets me a new little mini computer i don't think he'll mind too much. Just as long as i don't cahnge his desktop image. Which is really funny. Men have the most interesting pet peeves.

Oh My Brain Hurts!

The stress of multiple student loans, and the ability to pay them can give anyone gray hairs. Something tells me i need to dye my hair again. Those pesky grays might start showing agian.

on for the good news! I finished my outline for my other novel: October Ghosts. Now i just have to go back into my first novel: A Picture of the Desert. I redid the first chapter again, and now on to the rest of the book. I'm going to go up to my mom's this week, so it should be lots of fun! Some more good news is that I found my Picture of the Desert files that have all the photos and research in them! Always good to have.
