Are my eyes deceiving me?

Okay so yesterday I sent a Facebook message to my aunt who has seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth. I mean, she never replies to my calls, then my calls don't even reach her phone, no email replies, no text replies and I had given up hope. Then I send that message and today I look at my message inbox and there was a message from her!!! I couldn't believe it and I reread the message twice. But basically we have now planned to talk sometime Sunday afternoon. Cross your fingers and let us pray that she keeps her word this time!

Htrea

Okay so I was beginning to write another short story just for fun and I wrote this little snippet thingy. I feel like this could become a really good book if I spent the time on it but of course, it will have to wait until I am done with the Bloody Diamond. :) Enjoy.

Today has been a normal day thus far. But soon, that is about to change. Because when the 1:05 bell rings for lunch...I will be gone. No one else here knows my secret, of how every afternoon I disappear and enter a completely different world. No one realizes that almost half of their memories of me are fake. I am not who they think I am. I am not Priscilla, the A+ average student. I am Skillet, a freedom fighter, who lives a double life in a time and place different from Earth. I spend the mornings on Earth, the year here is 2012. Then I live the afternoons on Htrea, in the year 8908. Welcome....to my worlds.

Mixed Feelings

Can I accurately describe how I am feeling right now? That is the question and the reason the answer is so difficult is because I do not know exactly what my emotions are. My Aunt has still not replied for chapters 3 and 4 and I have called her multiple times. She never picks up. I have texted her reminders, telling her to call me when she has time. She doesn't reply or she says she will call tomorrow and when tomorrow comes...she doesn't call. I mean....I know she is going through a difficult time. I know that she is busy but I feel like she is letting me down. And she knows it too, I heard her say when she was freaking out when she picked her phone up once and realized it was me, she whispered it to her husband, not realizing I heard....I am not really mad or upset. and i have to say i expected it so i am not truly disappointed in the fact that she has no followed through. Maybe, I feel bad for her because she is unable to be dedicated to something during her troubling times. I want this to be something she can concentrate on and help take her mind off the other things, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. She had great feedback last time, but it appears as if I won't be able to hear that advice again as I am thinking that it is time to stop calling her. Though I don't want to give up because that would mean I was giving up on her and that would be a horrible thing to do at this moment in her life. ... I don't know what to do. I want to have hope but I know it is hopeless. I am not sure what to think or feel or do. I am just lost, trying and trying with no results. The only comfort is the fact that I am still writing even without her advice and I am liking what I have written. (especially ch5 :D ) All I can do for now, until the moment presents itself though, is pray, and pray I shall and I hope that you guys pray for me to. God Bless.

An Update

Well... where do I even start? First, it is Christmas break, and Christmas is right around the corner! I hope everyone remembers that this is not a day for just gifts but for giving and remembering the greatest gift of all: JESUS.
Now to info on my book. It is going superb! I am writing chapter five right now, and I think that it is going to be my favorite chapter for a while, at least until I write another cool chapter. I don't know exactly how to explain my thoughts, but sometimes I feel like the book is writing itself. I mean, I will plan to write one thing but when I sit down to write it, something entirely different and better comes out. It's just simply amazing, and I love everything I have written. and if I don't love it, then I take it out. Just like I did with a few pages yesterday. They no longer fit well with the story so I deleted them and now it is like they were never there.
Oh also, I plan to put a little snippet of the book on the blog. I am not sure which section yet but I promise you guys that it will be up soon. Also no news really from my aunt except I am suppose to talk to her this week. Keep your fingers crossed. :D Merry Christmas!

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. :)
