Alas, what a busy life is mine. I have been kept very busy at home of late; mostly just babysitting and helping out with our family website. Our family is in the process of opening up a bookstore in this western little town of Madras where we live. Nothing so civilized as a bookstore has yet dared to show it's face here. I cannot think of a nobler cause, than to bring the beauty and wonders of books into this uncivilized land... Ok, ok, so I'm feeling a little weird right now, but that's alright... right?
I have also begun to re-write the first chapter of my story. I didn't really like the way it turned out the first time. Mainly I didn't like my main character; my chapter portrayed her alot more... childish, than I wanted her. It was causing me to not like my story because I didn't like my main character, so I changed it. I also changed where she lives, she now lives in a sea port on the coast instead of a quiet little valley in the middle of nowhere. I am now excited about writing, which is nice. It's been a looooong time since I was eager to write!

I know, I'm trying to get back into writing mode too! I have re-read a couple of my stories and don't really like the way they worked out, so I'm looking for some good inspiration for a new one at the moment. :)
Hi!
My name is Elaine Dalton and I just found your neat blog! I'm a writer too and love some of the same books that you do. Please come visit my blog where I post book/movie reveiws, recipes, poems, and other random things and do please also check out the Letters of Askpen blog while you're there. God bless!
P.S. My family and I are also starting a store over here in Northern California, though it won't {sadly} be a bookstore. Oh well, it'll still be an adventure! :)
