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. :)

Waiting

So, yeah, a few days have now passed, and there is still no word from my aunt. I'm not surprised though as Beth has warned me it usually takes a while for anyone to read what you've written and actually reply. I know my aunt is taking her time and thinking everything through, so I am perfectly fine with waiting a few extra days. It is the final outcome that is important, anyway, and to get there, patience is necessary. I look forward to the day when my aunt calls and hearing everything she has to say!

Details ... Details ... Details

The Bloody Diamond is going well, though I have not written anything today I am planning the parts that are to come. To keep all the little details straight though so I can remember them when the time comes to apply them in The Bloody Diamond, I have grabbed a journal. I grabbed this idea from J.K Rowling who has all the details and secrets that are not in the HP books in her journals. I truly liked the idea and thus I have begun my own and so far have found it extremely helpful. I also have to admit that I get so excited about writing my book each time I think of the next details and write them in my journal. :D

My Aunt the Editor

Ok, so now that I have figured out more about how to even get to my blog, I am ready to start reporting. :) First off, my aunt has finally replied. She has been very busy and is not able to check her email very often but now she has and today will begin reading the first ten pages I sent her. My aunt may not be an official editor but the last time she read the beginning pages she was a huge help. She is a huge reader that takes the time to analyze the lines and think things through. She doesn't just read to see how quickly she can get through like my brother does. Sorry, bro, but it's true! So, yeah, my aunt said she would call me today or tomorrow and I can't wait! I hope she likes it! *crosses fingers*

Finally

Okay, so I have finally created a blog, and I don't know what to write. I'm still writing my book, The Bloody Diamond, so all you who know about it and like the idea...wait until I can figure out how to do this blog stuff. Then you can enjoy more of my book. Thanks! :) Wish me luck!
