My Weekly Writing Update (11)

Because what's a writing blog without a writing update?

As you have seen, my main focus as of right now is If Only We, a young adult contemporary novel. I am in the process of revising and rewriting this one.

If Only We - current word count is 57,556.

Still no news here. I am getting most anxious to get back to writing though. Did I just say "most anxious"? That's what I get for watching Persuasion a couple days ago. It's been a busy week, not just work and preparations for moving... but I ended up coming down with the flu. It hit me like a ton of bricks and then it was over within 24 hours. Thank goodness! Last thing I needed was to be sick for much longer than that.

In any case, I am hoping to get myself back to normal by the end of this month. I've still been thinking about my stories in the back of my mind and writing down notes here and there, but it's not the same. One thing I have been thinking about is how being away from the story for this long might actually be a very GOOD thing for me. I always hear that you should take a break from your story when you finish it, then come back to it in a couple weeks or more. I believe this to be very wise because I can already envision how much my story will improve when my mind is not tangled up. You know that feeling, when you've been working on the same thing for too long and you just can't focus or make it any better. But anyways. It'll be good for me when I can get back to writing. In the meantime, I'll let the mindless task of packing keep the wheels turning in my mind so that I can come up with great things to write about! ^_^

This is a late post, but, there's a reason.....

How many weeks in a row will there be nothing new? Okay, there's one little thing new. I had this insane urge to write Wednesday night, so I started plotting out my new story idea and came up with some interesting lines for ANOTHER story idea. And I kinda sorta wrote a poem in my journal. Otherwise, nada. But this week... I am going to share with you the reason for all this nonsense...

After a lot of thought (over the last couple months), I have decided that I am going to move out on my own for the first time. It's something I have wanted to do since I became an adult but there was always something that got in the way, whether it was relationships or finances or other circumstances. Last year was a big year of change for me, and near the end I decided I wanted to make some big changes in 2013. I wanted to do more, to be more. My original plan was to move out in the fall of this year but I kept moving the date from October, to July, to May, to March... and so now, it's March and the plans are in motion. I've signed a lease and I'll be moving in less than 2 weeks. It's going to be crazy busy for me and my writing/blogging will probably be lacking, so don't worry when you don't see much of me in the next few weeks. I promise it will all be back to normal in April. ^_^

And the ridiculousness of nothing to report continues. Trust me, though, there is a very good explanation. Once I have a couple of minor details worked out, I will let you guys know what is going on. Don't worry, it's a good thing. ^_^ Crossing my fingers I can let you know next week.

Until then, I hope all my followers have a splendid weekend!
