Too Busy to Think Straight!

  • Mar. 13th, 2009 at 10:37 AM

Okay, so it's been 7 weeks since my last entry and I've come to the conclusion that I suck at updating blogs.  And this is the blog that I update the most often, isn't that sad?!  But anyway, things have been quite hectic for me between getting papers/assignments completed for class, work, and trying to find free time to write.  I have actually made updates on my "Behind the Mask" fanfic as it's getting to the good stuff (drama and such) and I love writing drama and conflicts for the characters in my stories.  It's so much fun... does that make me a horrible person?  I should hope not.

Anyway, here is where I'm at in my writing:

Behind the Mask [15+] -- Chapters 10 and 11 are posted.  Chapter 12 is 0% completed.  I'll more than likely find time to write some of Ch. 12 in between studying for a test in my history class on Monday and working this weekend. (www.harrypotterfanfiction.com/viewstory.php)

A New Generation [15+] -- Chapter 22 is 20% completed.  I'm going to work on writing it today since I usually use Fridays as a free day (a breather from real life if you will) since my other days are generally busy nonstop.  Fridays are usually when I get the most writing done, so I'll be working on this chapter for the majority of the day before I have to work tonight from 5pm-11pm in concession (thank goodness I don't have to close).

And that's about it for this entry.  I'm going to get back to writing ;)


Happy New Year! 

So, the Spring semester of college started on January 5th, 2009 for me.  I've been running around getting to classes during the week and then working on the weekend.  I've been quite busy.  So busy that I have had little time to even think about what I'll write next for the stories that I've been working on.  I've also yet to start the revising and editing on my NaNo novel, and at this point I don't think I'll be able to until after the semester is over since I really need to make the most of my free time by getting assignments done and then getting some writing done.

Here's a list on where I'm at in my writing with my stories at the moment--

HP Fanfictions

A New Generation-- Chapter 21, 100% completed and posted as of last week.  It's about time as it took 10 months to actually get it finished and posted with all the blocks that I've been having with this story.  I think I've actually overcome some of those blocks, but there are still some blocks that just don't want to come down just yet.  I'm really trying to get back into writing this story by grasping at any inspiration for it that comes my way.

Behind the Mask-- Chapter 9, 100% completed and posted as of December 21, 2008.  Though, I just recently put the beta'd version of the chapter up last week, so yeah.

Chapter 10, 5% completed and still being written.  I've already got the whole story outlined, as well as the chapters as far as what I want to happen, but none of the chapters are written.  I'm going to try to have this chapter finished in the next week or two.

Original Fiction

Christmas Magic-- Prologue, 100% completed and posted on Fiction Central.

Chapter 1, 65% completed and still being written.  I know exactly where I want to go with this story as I have it all planned out as well as far as what is going to happen in which chapters and such.  But again, it all has to do with having any free time to write.  I'll probably have this chapter finished shortly after "Chapter 10 of Behind the Mask" as that is first on my to-do list at the moment.

Well, I guess that's it for now.  I really have nothing else to say except that I'm actually enjoying all of my classes this semester and the professors are all great. 

Oh, and the past couple of weeks it has been exceptionally cold here in the north east of Florida-- record lows.  This morning I found that there was frost covering every inch of my car and it took it 10 minutes to even start to defrost the ice from the front wind shield enough for me to wipe it with my wipers so that I could head to campus for a 9AM class.  But, it hasn't snowed or anything.  Though, North Carolina is supposedly getting snow, which makes me mad because it was supposed to snow when my parents, sister, and I were up there in Rocky Point, NC (about a 30 minute drive North of Wilmington, NC) visiting my dad's mom and step-dad (aka my grandma and grandpa).  But no, it had to be in the 70s for a lot of the time for the five days we were up there; the coldest it got was in the 40s and that's hardly cold enough for it to snow.  But, yeah, the other day on Wednesday when I was watching the news, it was announced that NC would see snow around the coast line around Jacksonville, NC, which is south of Wilmington and Rocky Point.  We passed the exit for it on our way up.  But oh well, I'll get over it.  The good news is that the weather should be warming up for us Floridians tomorrow afternoon as the high is expected to reach the 70s.  Though, we're still going to get a hard freeze tonight, brrr...  but at least it's expected to warm up.  Anyway, that's all I have to say in this blog entry.  Nothing else has really happened all that much with me besides what I've already written here in this entry.  I'll try to make the next post quicker than a month for the next entry.
