The Reason I Write

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe."

An Update

Yes, I am still alive. Life has been literally CRAZY in the last couple of months. I will try to sum it up for you as best as I can, but that may be a bit of a challenge.

Most exciting news first I think... Dakota (my brother) and I both got our Drivers Licenses about a half a month ago! We are soooooooooo happy!!!!!


Things have become a lot easier around here, not having to wait around for our parents whenever we want to do something!

We are now into our second term of college, and I have officially decided that I LOVE COLLEGE!!!!!!!!! My horrible writing class is FINALLY over, and surprisingly, I got out with a B+ score and on my last paper I got an A! Now this term I have to tackle the math... Ick.

Over Spring Break, I finally sat down with my story and worked out some wrinkles that I had been thinking about all through the Winter Term and never had a chance to contemplate. As a result, it has evolved quite a bit and is now richer and more flowing than it has ever been before! I love my story!!! and most of all... I LOVE Soryn!!! He has shaped and matured through this process, and now fits the story so well.


 I have also added two new characters into the story. The Black twins! Josie and Jocalyn! I have recently read several books that have identical twins in them, which inspired me to create them. They are Rowan's friends, and accompany her in her quest.


And now, last but not least of my news is......hmmm, how to state this calmly......I SAW THE HUNGER GAMES IN THEATER AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD A JOB THEY DID!!! I LOVED HAYAMICH, AND CENNA AND GALE AND I ALMOST CRIED WHEN RUE DIED. Ok, rant is over... I think... IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, now its over.






Well, that's it for now. I hope I can find time to do a real post sometime soon! Until then...

Yay! A post. I saw the Hunger Games too. I love the bit after Katniss shots and arrow into the apple in the pig's mouth, when Haymitch gives her a thumbs up.
