Well I said no more updates until Friday, but I feel like I owe my friend a special one since she is apparently really enjoying the book. Also, I'm going to admit it that the last update was kinda just a "there you go" thing for my friend and that was really mean. And I don't mean like the type of mean that is just plain satirically funny, which is not usually me anyway, but more like the type of mean someone like me shouldn't do.
First off, went and visited two of my friends in Broomfield. It was like a spa vacation that I desperately needed. Hard to believe, but my Dad sucks the energy out of people and then makes them want to vegetate all day long. So, until I went and saw my good friends in Broomfield that is what I had been doing. Which also explains the lack of updates that was going on in this blog and with the story (and also why I am so damn far behind). (random side note, ever notice how many transition words I use? I try to dodge them while writing because I do use so many) Anyway, my two friends were able to re-center me in one visit and then in the next day I was able to break out of that relaxing vacation-spa feeling. The end result was I now feel really recharged and ready to write.
And remember, if there is one thing I have been truthful with when writing this blog (besides that it is about a story I am writing), it has been the number of words I have written. I've been following my rules very strictly on how the numbering goes and even with my mom wanting to watch 30 Rock (which strangely is a show that makes me want to write... I haven't found any other that cause the same effect yet though Arrested Development might work) I have managed to get more words added from what I was previously at today. I'm not done yet, I want to finish Chapter 5 and start Chapter 6. This might be because I promised my friend Chapter 5 and I don't want to be a jerk on her birthday by not delivering the next piece I know she wants.
Also, the name of the book has changed. The series is still going to be called Broken Falls, but the first book in the series is now known as Shattered. I'm thinking I might do something with all of the books being similar except the final one where all of the twists and plots come together in an epic ending that will make my friends go Oh My God!. Still just an idea, but the new name is better than what I had.
Speaking of my Dad (wait, no I wasn't), he's back at work during the day. Hurray! I only see him after 6 PM again like things should be. Best part yet is he has to work for the next month! This means no taunts during the day I will not be trying to recover from him being negatively around me all the time and I will write more during the day. And also, I seem to have cycled on my sleep schedule because I now go to bed at 9 PM and wake up sometime between 3 AM and 5:30 AM. Whatever. And also also, my little brother is going to college soon. This means no more of him interrupting my thoughts mid thought/sentence and that I might get more done.
And now, like every time I write in this blog, I'm gonna do something besides write for a while before hopping back on to write some more. It is kinda ironic, but whatever. I hope this update was better than the last.
OH YEA, and Chapter 6 is pretty much planned out now after some crazy thinking that happened right before I fell asleep last night and when I woke up this morning and tried to get back to sleep. Crazy stuff. Crazy. And just one more for the road, Crazy McCraztastic.
