All right, so now that it's been (counts on fingers) about two and a half months since I've posted anything, I've decided that I really should post something, even though maybe a total of two people will read it. If I'm lucky.
Well, I am pretty sad because I just played in the community play "The Wizard of Oz" for the last time. Why? Because it's over, silly. I had so much fun playing my clarinet again, and I really want to keep playing. Alas, this is something that comes around only once a year, so I will have to wait. Oh darn.
Also, I am kicking myself for not having enough courage. Just throwing that in there to make you wonder.
School is starting again in a couple weeks, and so of course I've been stressing over the money to afford it, and then I realized I could apply for a Pell Grant. Der de der. Problem solved. I also can't register certain necessary classes because I waited so long to send my AP scores to the college. Der de der, again. Hopefully I can actually get into the classes once the scores are posted.
After writing so much of the "guts" of my "Superman" novel, I decided to actually write the beginning of the book. And let me just say, I surprise myself with the characters' personalities as they come forth. Never did I suspect that the lead character would have such a fabulous sense of humor. Stephenie Meyer (please forgive me) was right about one thing: characters do invent themselves. I really have no control over it. Also, the actual plot of the story has been created and I'm feeling more and more confident about it. OH MY GOSH--I just cannot contain my excitement! I want to share it with the world!
But that will have to wait. For now, I will sit under the dim lamp during the wee hours of the night, typing (or scribbling) madly. Maybe I will allow people to read the first couple chapters and give me some feedback soon. Maybe. I have one person hooked already (thank you, Grandma).
Ta da! This has been a post!
