Updates

Alright, so it's been a while. I guess I should update you on how things are going over here in my corner of Orem. :)

As some of you know, I've dropped three of my classes at school to take online at home (those classes start on October 27). So now I get out of school at 10:26 on A days and 11:55 on B days. I really enjoy it. I still get to see all my friends, I still get to be around people, but it's a shortened day so I can actually stand it. I have a really hard time being around people, so my short days are a true blessing.

My writing is going great! It was going really slow for a while, crawling along at a snail's pace. I couldn't seem to force the words from my pens. Outlining wasn't working, simply jumping in and starting wasn't working. I spent months without writing. Then I tried a new approach to it--instead of structured outlining, I started writing the plot as if I were telling it to someone. That has been awesome and I'm writing at a rate of 1 gel pen per day.

Oh! I forgot! I'm 17! I turned 17 a while ago, but I didn't really do anything fun for it, so I just thought it wasn't worth posting about.

I've started browsing freelance writing jobs, so I might get started on that within a week or so.

And I've started drawing again! I gave up on it over the summer, thinking it wasn't worth it, but I missed my paints too much, so I started up again :)

Thank you for reading this post, I really appreciate it :) I love y'all!

With love,
