Yes, I am still alive.

Since my blog has been posted on *ahem* sparingly of late, I thought I'd bring you all up to date. Just so you know I haven't died or something. I'm blaming being behind in Algebra. Just a little, though. :-) And pre-election stress.

As a follow-up from my last post, Dr. Jocelyn's prescription of water, bananas, and Dr. Pepper is helping a lot. :-) I've been fine since then (albeit for a few days I wasn't even strong enough to open one of the doors at school). The little bro has strep throat now, so we'll see how long I'm fine.

But on to something interesting. I think it's interesting, at least. A friend of mine gave me a 'slap in the face' and got me writing again. I was moping along doing relatively nothing and making whiny excuses about it. She wouldn't hear of that and gave me a piece of her mind. Now I'm back on track and ready for the 70 Days of Sweat to begin on November 10th. Woohoo! Think I can do it? Hey, don't shake your head... have a little faith... I even have a title for this one. Sword of Flame.

It is now sitting at a comfortable 113 pages/30,000 words.

And don't ya'll want to know what it's about? Keep on wondering. :-) But you can bet one or two of my trademarks will be in it:

Someone is tortured
Someone is killed
Someone throws up
Someone says a very sarcastic line

A 5 point bonus if all of them are accomplished by the same person. Which, actually, considering who my MC is...

Have any of you been writing or doing something equally fabulous?

See Dave. See Bob. Dave is cool. Dave has sunglasses. Bob is dumb. Bob is ugly. Dave tortures Bob. Bob says, "Please don't torture me, Dave." Dave says, "You deserve it, Bob." Bob says, "Crap."

Henrietta is fat. Henrietta has a crush on ugly Bob. Henrietta kills Dave.

"Thanks for killing Dave," says Bob.

Bob sees Dave's guts as Henrietta starts to eat them [editor's note: no wonder she's fat]. Bob throws up.

"He had guts, I'll say that for him," says Henrietta.

THE END.

Hi Jen!

You asked if anyone had been doing anything exciting like writing. Well no I haven't been writing at all, but life is exciting regardless: I got another violin student (I have 15 music students now!!!! God is SO good!) and I also got to go to Mr Larsen's this week to fix up an old, old violin that a student had. It was in such bad shape, really grungy, etc. But I got it all cleaned up and repaired, it's a beauty! It is so awesome to work on these old violins and see them be transformed! ;-) I am going back on Friday again to finish the job up. Mr Larsen is such a neat guy, I absolutely love working with him in his shop.

Also, I went to the eye dr. this morning and got a prescription for glasses. It will be so nice to be able to see again! ;-)

Well I guess that's about all that's happening in my life. We've still got Levi here, he should be outta here by the end of the week. That's about it!

Have a blessed day in the Lord!
Miss Katie

Oh, to answer your question (whoops), I actually HAVE been writing. I kinda missed it. I've been writing loads of poem-things, as well as planning for a fantasy/sci-fi novel that I hope to actually start, lol. Yeahhh... And I'm going to interrogate you to figure out what you're new book is about... (evil laughter into sleeve)

:) Glad to hear you're still alive!!!! and that my "prescription" is working and you're on the mend. I wouldn't advise drinking the dr.pepper in tsp though. I think a glass might be better suited. :P

Hope your little brother feels better soon as well.

Oh....... I need to have someone edit my novel. I'm AWFUL at grammar. *sigh* maybe sometime soon mother will have time!
