It seems forever since I haven’t written nonsense in this blog so I figured it was time, since you know, I’m paying for this domain and whatever.
On April 1st, Kelli from @RewritingKel and I will be launching our online book club! You can still join PaperbackReaders in time for the first book, which will be announced at the launch! Also, after you you join the book club, please make sure you fill out this form so you can get the ebook on time! If you want our little blog button you can get it from my sidebar, underneath the button. Copy and paste into your own sidebar and voila! We can’t wait to have you so go go go!
On another note, I got back into my abandoned novel… Somewhat. I think that everytime I go to Cid’s place for #craftyday, I seem to start but kind of stop and lose that motivation. That focus. That thing that keeps me writing. Maybe I should scrap it altogether. That’s how I feel sometimes because it doesn’t make any sense to me sometimes. I know where I want to go with the story and its there. It’s romantic, depressing, and has very steamy scenes. But it also has some scenes that I should scrap altogether. Right now, I’m writing this through my phone because my laptop is all screwy again. I’m going to convince the Husband that I need a new one now. Like NOW.
I forgot what I was saying now. Oh yeah.. about the novel. I feel like I can’t move on to writing something else until I decide what the hell I want to do with this novel which is untitled for now because Forever After, seems to cliche and this book.. is nothing close to being cliche. Except that you would think that because of the Vampires… but its not. I’m not going to work on a synopsis until after I decide to go further or not with this novel. This is my first novel after all. I’ve only written short stories before this but that was a long long time ago. And this novel was written under a few hours of sleep and me going to sleep at nine in the morning.. of the NEXT day so that.. was fun. Writing under no sleep. Writing nonsense. Nonsense that would make me cry… Maybe I shouldn’t even be thinking of a title until I finish it, right? Great, now I need to go and change some scenes that tie with the Forever After title.
I’m going to need to buy a new writing program because the Ulysses trial expired a few days after November and that is the only program I really loved because there was a little sidebar I could jot down ideas in and different tabs where I would put different scenes in. Yes, I’m definitely going to have to buy it now. I forgot the actual point of this post but I’ll just keep going on with the novel. Right now, I’m in the middle of it because I never got into the middle of it in November. The middle is mainly writing letters back in forth, you’ll see why later, if I ever decide to post something here… which I’m going to need balls for.. but anyway. They are writing letters back and forth while she is in hiding but that is going to abruptly stop because the Gestapo are going to arrest that person who is the messenger for looking suspicious… which leads to them finding out Annelies’ family in hiding… and I’m going to stop now before I give away too much because it will start to get depressing.
What else is new? Umm I’m still trying to potty train my almost three year old. Yeah yeah I know. Roll your eyes. I don’t care. It’s so hard. She has lost all the interest in the potty now and would rather wear the toilet over her head than go sit on the potty and pee. I’ve ran out of patience so if you would like to come potty train her, you’d be my hero. Like for serious. I don’t know why I even changed her to pull ups anyway if she goes potty in her diaper still and tells me one second AFTER she’s done going in her pull up. Does anyone have any advice? I’ve tried stickers. Candies as bribes. Ice cream for lunch if she goes to the potty. Running out of fuel here. HALP!
That’s all I’m wirting for now because she just peed in the entry floor. Sigh
