VICTORY!!!




Sooooooooo I finished Head Hunters last night. Super proud of myself here. Head Hunters is eighty-four chapters long with an epilogue at the end. It turned out to be 356 pages, and when I checked it in book pages it was 568 pages long. That would be the longest book I've written so far. Then again I've only written one book before, and it was only 112 pages. Now to edit.
I'm so proud I finished this book even though it took me two whole years or a little more. But who cares? I wrote the book! I created thirty-one characters for this book. I have fifty-four pages or more of notes that aren't attached to characters. I've created six playlists for the book to help me with characters that weren't Angel Shudo. The main team has like over ten pages of info about them each. My plot makes sense. My characters are very relatable.Richard and Mom are very proud of what I've written and both volunteered to proofread for me. :D I'm so excited, Mom posted, "woo hoo now I get to proof read it.......all 568 pages .. um did I say woo hoo I mean crap now I have to proof read it lol jk congrats mama" To which I responded, "Hahaha yeah... That's a lot to proofread, but I really appreciate that you're willing to proofread it and make sure it sounds good. Thanks Mom. It means the world to me. ^-^" To be honest, I'm just happy I have a parent who is happy to see me accomplish big things in my life and wants to be a part of the writing process and not scrutinize every little thing I have written in the past. Yes, I had my dad, and he helped give me a lot of great advice for my writing (and I still use all the advice he's ever given me), but he can't help me proofread like Mom can. I'm going to edit it first, then Richard then Mom. ^-^ 


So today I've been taking a break from the book all together. I've been catching up on reading Confessions of a Murder Suspect by James Patterson, and I picked up the guitar my father had got me for Christmas a long time ago and started practicing again. When Richard started taking pictures of me I got all flustered and started giggling. These were two of my favorite pictures. I have even got back to some of my studies. 

On the school front: Waiting for them to call me back. They're cutting it close. I still haven't heard from the Judgement Committee, and this semester starts next Monday. :/ I may have to start next semester, but let's hope for the best, shall we?

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
