I seriously feel like my writing life is going through a major push & pull stage. Usually I only get like this after I finish a story, but let's face it -- I haven't finished anything since NaNoWriMo. But now there are a million different stories that I 3/4 of the way want to write (okay, maybe not a MILLION), and it doesn't help that my boredom of the last couple of days has been cured by obsessive banner making, and they all seem to be for these brilliant stories. I don't know. We'll just have to see what happens. Right now I really want to concentrate on three main stories: a novel called Earth Song, an old reawakened project called The Tire Swing, and a completely new idea that I've been playing around with for months that I'm thinking should be some kind of companion to my novel Shadow's Call called The Six. It's really great.

And on the brighter side of things, Easter is tomorrow, and I just had another amazing date with my boyfriend. We played Halo 3 for, like, 2 hours. There's nothing like spending 2 hours just randomly shooting at your boyfriend :)

Peace out!

So, while I thought that Tamara was going to be gone, I started writing another novel in a notebook with an actual blue pen. I haven't done that since...sixth grade? I got my own very own computer for the first time for Christmas in 6th grade, and I haven't written a novel in a notebook since. The novel started off being a metaphor for my religious life, but now I don't even know what it is. A great novel with awesome characters? But now I'm so engrossed in it that even though I technically do have Tamara back, I have no desire to write Some Kind of Miracle. Which...I never had any desire to write it in the first place. Maybe it really wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if I just didn't write it. Alana and Lucy don't really need fallible evidence of their friendship. I don't know. We'll just have to see how things go. For right now, I'm just going to keep writing my new story and editing Burnt Flowers Fallen, which, by the way, is coming along fantastically.
