A Long Time

Wow... I have not realized how long it has been since my last post. Let's just sya I have been extremely busy with school and sports. That doesn't mean I haven't written anything though as the story is coming a long great! I will write some more things about this in a later post but just wanted to let everyone know I had not forgotten about it! :D

Exciting News!

OMG! There is so much to talk about!
First is the news that Beth's book is officially published and all those who want to buy a copy can buy one at her first book signing on Dec. 3 and 4! I already have mine though because I wrote a thingie for the back of her book and her book is...amazing! I loved it! Everyone needs to buy it and read it!
Second I have reached the fiftieth page of my book, The Bloody Diamond, and it is turning out superb! I am so thankful and glad that I finally decided to write on a deeper level. Thank you, Beth! Also for my book - though I had to change the chapters somewhat because they were too long, so now the first chapter was split into two and thus I am working on my fourth chapter instead of my second. I like it, though, and I still think the chapters make sense so it should all work out in the end. :)

Cross Country

Today is a wonderful and sad day! First it is sad because this was out last cross country meet of the school year! I am going to miss it even though it was so hard at points! :(

It was so good though because we finished with a bang! Here are the simple results.

Brittany got third overall!

My time was 13.39!

Overall the girls got 4th!!!

Overall the boys got 6th!!!

Marcus earned the new school cc record!!!

Such a great meet and I was so blessed to be apart of such a wodnerful team!

Celebration!

Okay, so first off, this post has nothing to do with me. Instead it deals with my BFF, the author Elizabeth McKinney. As everyone should know her first book is coming out in October, and she has been working hard on the next books. Well.... she has finished book three! Apparently this is supposed to be her favorite book and I can't wait to read it! Of course, I have to read book one and two, but oh well. I'll read it eventually! Congratulations again, Beth!

Great Day!

Okay, so there are many things that I want to talk about.

First, this morning I ran a 13.42 at my cross country meet. That is my best time this year, and I know I can go even faster. What is truly amazing is I knew God was with me during this meet because Tuesday, I ran a 13.42 during my own practice meet. Then I wrote that time on my hand, and that is the time I earned during the meet! YES!!! :D I am back to where I was last year.

Ok, now for the other good news. I am finally finding the time to write some more! I don't know how to explain it, maybe Beth understands, but when you are writing, you just get so into it. The words seem to flow from your fingers, and you get so excited about writing the part you at because you want to see the end. I am seriously smiling with excitement as I write some of my favorite parts, yearning to see the final piece. I absolutely love writing, and I am so glad I had begun writing Bloody Diamond. I had tried before but now it's official and it is simply superb. I can't wait until the next chapters!!!! :D :D :D

Frustration

Uhh, I am so frustrated because of—you know what—school! So many projects and tests and homework is taking up my time, and thus I cannot write anything. I so want to though; my fingers are itching to write, and the story is unfolding within my mind, yearning to be typed out and saved. I can't wait for the weekend because then I will finally have the time I seek. I have so many ideas and plots that need to be written before I change them again, and I want to see where my story is taking me because so far it has been an amazing ride. Just pray the weekend gets here quickly!

I Am So Happy!

Ok, so there are many things I need to write down in this one blog. First off, my Cross Country meet went well, as I finished 64 out of 188 girls, and placed second on our team with a time of 14:30. Next week I plan to cut off 30 seconds! :)

Now to the another exciting piece of information: my aunt and I were finally able to chat! She had found some grammars errors, which I immediately changed, and then she told me about the few areas that were written in a slightly confusing manner. Now I am going back to those spots to fix them and make sure my readers do not get confused! :D She also told me she really liked where I was going with my story so far and she can't wait for me to send her the next pages! I am so happy! :D :D :D

Oh, and also, Beth's book is being printed!!!! I can hardly believe it but it is actually happening and will be available in four weeks! I can't wait to get my own copy!
