Thursday

First chapter of The Genesis Box is going up on Thursday! Hopefully you'll all like it!

First Panic Attack

First panic attack of the school year (well, the first one that happened in school instead of before/after). It was horrible. Well, I mean, panic attacks are always going to be horrible. But instead of leaving class to calm down, I sucked in my breath and told myself to tough it out, and I did. I made it all the way through school. I'm fairly proud of myself. Wish me luck for the rest of my senior year.

Third Day

School is... exhausting. I forgot how tiring it was to interact with people for hours a day. It's been a struggle to keep my anxiety in check and to keep smiling and answering questions and act as if I don't feel like crying. As much as I love my classes, I wish they were shorter, or with less people. I love learning but I get really nervous and uncomfortable around people. Three days down, hundreds to go...

Senior Year

I know I already posted today, but I just remembered that school starts on Monday. I have a few thoughts about this.

I'm pretty excited. I'm going to be a senior this year, which is absolutely impossible. I feel like I'm still a little kid and I have years left of high school, but sadly I only have about nine months left of little to no responsibility. I only have electives left this year, which is pretty fun. I'm taking a lot of English and writing classes, along with astronomy, criminology, forensic science, and a few law classes. (Yes, those are the ones I chose to take.) It's going to be busy, but it will be a good kind of busy. I'm happy to be able to see my friends again. My social life this summer has consisted of Garrin Williams, Ian Rich, and Dylan Johnson (and I really only saw Garrin two or three times).

I'm also terrified. Most of you know I have pretty bad social anxiety. Last year I had to drop most of my classes because I couldn't be at school for more than two periods without having a panic attack (crying, not breathing, throwing up, glorious things like that). This year I have to catch up, so along with more online classes, I'm taking full days of school. I'm so scared that I'll have more panic attacks and I won't perform as well as I want to.

Even though I'm scared, I'm determined to be in the best health mentally that I can be. I've set up a few plans to achieve this goal (such as a daily gratitude journal, daily scripture reading, prayer, and keeping my body healthy and rested).

Wish me luck, guys!
(Heaven knows I need it.)

The New Story

Yeah I know, it's kind of been a while, hasn't it? I've just been trying to outline this story before I actually start it, so there's a little bit of structure and a direction. So far, my main characters are Genesis Argyris and Clarence Rocha, both from a small town in Pennsylvania. Right now I'm writing down everything I know about them, and then drawing them so I can remember what they look like.

I promise I'll start posting chapters soon! Thanks for being patient :)

Genesis

Well guys, I'm starting a new story. I was wondering if you wanted me to write the chapters on here. So instead of just word count updates, it would be the actual chapters. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
