Happy Day!

Okay I have great news! Besides school starting and being swamped with homework... ugh. not pleasant. But aside from that! My aunt has finally replied and we are about to get serious. I will not write what she think of my first ten pages because I have sent her the next ones and she is reading those tonight! I promise tho to share some of her opinions and the obvious one is she liked what she read! :D I am so happy and I just know The Bloody Diamond will turn out great! So yeah until my next post.... keep reading and writing!

Disappointment and Joy

Well, I have some good and some bad news. I guess I will write the bad news first so at the end of this post, I won't be more disappointed.
Okay, so basically, my aunt has not gotten back to me about my book. She was supposed to read it last weekend and tell me what she thought, but she has not even replied to the text I sent her yesterday. My mom thinks she is ignoring me because she hasn't read it and doesn't want to face me... :( It looks like I won't be able to count on her editing it so it just means I'll keep writing. Nothing wrong with that of course! :)
And now to the good news! Beth's cover for her book, Young Falcon, looks great! I cannot believe how close she is to getting her book officially published!!! I am so excited and can't wait to read the entire thing. I've read tidbits but I need the whole book to be satisfied. ;) As soon as her cover has its copyright, I am thinking of placing it on my blog so anyone who is keeping track of my blog can see it! It looks really great and remembering how far Beth has gone makes me want to keep writing!
So, yeah, that's my news for today :D

First Chapter!!!!

I have officially completed the first chapter of The Bloody Diamond!!!! It is called, I Arrive For My School Orientation, and it is 26 pages. I love every bit of it and I hope all my my editing friends/family like it too! Still no word from my aunt but it is not Tuesday yet so I haven't lost hope.
I am going to begin writing my second chapter after I finish a A.P. biology paper so everyone wish me luck with that. I don't have any idea how long the second chapter is going to be but I am calling it, I Attend My First Day of School. Or at least, that what is it for now; I may change it. I'll find the perfect title soon. :)
