So, I'm almost done writing a book I did for NaNoWriMo 2012!!!! I am pretty psyched about it. I will have it ready for publishing soon and will post a link to it. Who knows? Maybe somebody will like it.
There's nothing like the feeling of accomplishing something hard, and when it comes to writing, believe me when I say, it's amazing. And having your book in print, holding it for the first time.....almost reminiscent to a mother holding her newborn baby.
So, happy Thursday guys! Random other thing, getting new glasses! They look like a true writer's glasses. Yes.
Okay, you can say it if you have to, go on, do it: "She is such a dork."
And to which I reply: "Yep. And I am PROUD of it!"
:) Love you people. Seriously. I hope the rest of your week is awesome.
Keep pursuing your dreams, even when it's hard.
God bless!

Babysitting!!
So I've been having to babysit a ton, 'cause a ton of people in my church were going to this ministers' conference and there was no childcare. I was kinda nervous, being only 15 and watching kids who're under the age of 5, but it was WAY easier than I thought. These kids are so easily entertained.
It's been a crazy few days. Barbie movies, coloring, making sure the kids don't get into something they're not supposed to get into...ah, the life of a homeschooled teenaged author/babysitter. Great material for books can be found in the simplest of daily tasks. Like changing a diaper, for example.
So, being homeschooled has its perks. Like, being able to get done with school early, being able to have random days off of school, (my mom will make us do school into the summer if we don't get done with all of our books and stuff before summer, though) being able to more fun stuff (like writing, for example) and being a basically on-call babysitter so I can make a little bit of money. It's awesome.
The only downside: I will be so Barbie'd out, and be able to literally quote every single one of those movies from beginning to end by the time this is over. This includes the songs, and the credits. (-_-) Oh well.
Have a great weekend, guys and girls!!!

Coffee....:)
I don't know about you, but I think coffee is the bomb. It is awesome. Especially espresso. Well, that, and the caffeine in it.
I can function without it. I may be the She-wolf of the Stuff of Nightmares that put logical-thinking adults into insane asylums, but yeah, I can go without it.
Anyways, coffee wakes people up, right? At least, that's its main purpose. "Wake up and smell the coffee!" Those coffee commercials that make you cry because, 'John's home from the war and he makes the best coffee'. Random thought: Those Folgers commercials are better love stories than Twilight. :D
Well, coffee has played an excellent role in many, many, MANY author's lives, young and old. Coffee shops with free wifi, especially during those NaNoWriMo days, are where it's happening.
Plus, if you're a fan of John Flanagan's books, Ranger's Apprentice and Brotherband Chronicles, you know that everybody drinks coffee in them.
Well, I need to get back to writing, speaking of which. It's going okay, nobody's hurt. Just dead. :D
I know this is a bit of an oxymoron, but have a fan-stinkin'-tastic Monday :)
Catch ya later!
