"The" Novel: Finished. In the process of editing. I tore it apart chapter by chapter so that I could edit it properly, so I don't know THE word count.

"Jack"
Current word count: 6,044 || Goal: This can be my summer project, but my current work-in-progress has me busy.

"Coveland"
Chapters: 25 || Also on a hiatus, maybe for good... I could make it a summer project to finish this one, too, though.

"The Add-On Story"
Current count: 5,000 || Seems to be on a hiatus.

The Shadow: Finished, 109,998 words; still in the process of editing.

Current Work-in-Progress:
The Hunter, sequel to The Shadow: 53,044 words.

• Mar. 7, 2009 - Day...11 of Lent, I believe.

And...I'm surviving?

 

Even though every moment of the day a new idea for a story comes to me and I want to write it. I don't write it. Instead, I edit the story that I already wrote.

 

I'm tearing apart and polishing and rephrasing and perfecting The Shadow. After Lent I'll research publication for it. I'm tired of waiting. And I think everyone else is tired of me waiting too. XD

 

I'm doing better on the no-writing sacrifice than the no-soda one. Yeah. Sorry, but there's one that I just can't resist. But I only have one small cup, I promise. >.< Also, Father Bruno says that if I'm under 18 I'm too young to fast. I only have to fast if I want to if I'm between ages 18 and 60. Once I turn 60 I can stop. BUT. I must abstain from meat, he said. So I'm trying that. That's somewhat easier.

 

The weather is insane. It SNOWED. It's not supposed to snow on March. This sucks. At least the snow melts, and I'm praying REALLY REALLY hard that it won't snow again. I want springtime weather. I want to lounge in the sunlight with my iPod. But apparently I can't. There's no sunlight. It's pure decoration because it's not warm.

 

Currently listening to: Beautiful Eyes by Taylor Swift. <3

 

SPEAKING OF...
I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO UTAH!! TAYLOR IS COMING HERE, TO BOISE. Dad told me he saw it in the news yesterday. I checked her tour dates to make sure, and he was right. She's coming here!!! This is a relief. I was afraid of the thought of getting into a plane alone. But now I can drag my whole family to the Idaho Center to see her on May. YAY. We need to buy the tickets this month.

 

 

So yeah. I'm happy.

I shall click Add New Entry and hope that someone comments.

Hello again, friend! 'Tis me, Aradelle/Laurie. Aradelle/Laurie is getting to be my name, doncha think? I don't really seem to be one or the other. Just good ol' Aradelle/Laurie.

Sounds like Lent's going kinda tough, huh? I hope you can remember all those awesome story ideas!! And...I need to work on my outline, but I'm sort of in a dead spot, and I need some inspiration...

I still think it is awesome that you are disciplining yourself by doing this. Kudos to you, girly! I really think I should do the same thing, but I lack the self-control to actually start and commit to it. Anyhow, I do look forward to having you back in the writing loop! It seems like forever since I've talked to you. *resolves to email Mari*

And yes, you must start looking for a publisher! I think it was a good idea for you to wait, but I agree that the time for waiting is over! I really have a strong gut feeling that you are definately going to be published, sooner or later - and it's probably going to be sooner. I mean, really. You're the only writing friend about whom I can believe that with certainty. With everyone else it's, "Yeah, perhaps," but with you it's like, "How can she NOT get published???" You have the certain tone and style to your writing that will make publishers want to eat you up.

Love you, dear!!! I'll be praying for you!!
