Covers, webinars, and my stupid health

What up!

Well, so I handed off my manuscript to my cover artist tonight. That was exciting and nerve wracking. She also offered to edit for me. So basically my baby is going to be murdered with a red pen.....*cries*. So she is my first beta reader. Yeah, I am very very nervous right now.
So every teen ends up with mysterious ailments during the school year, but i ended up with them in the summer. I have been getting less sleep, i have lost 18 pounds in a month, and i have been having  a lot of headaches lately. Mom says i might have thyroid problem, whatever that is. 
I invested in my book for the first time today. 90 bucks for a webinar, which was awesome and very detailed might i add. I will get the transcript in about a week and i will make comments about how she has us teens figured out to a T!  
That's my current life so yeah, see ya guys later.

Journal entry

So as like every teen girl i am having boy issues. Along side that i am thinking about what i want in a guy. Recently i have had a guy in my life that makes me feel like the guy in the relationship, and it sucks. At my boarding school i was the only tomboy out of like 36 girls. I did the heavy lifting, opened the doors, killed the spiders and cockroaches. I became the man of the house you could say. After that i was in MC Jr. ROTC, i was one of the guys. I helped out with a lot of the heavy lifting, did the dirty work, i was on marksmanship, i considered myself a guy. I always kind of have, i'm not trans, but i am defiantly a huge northern tomboy. When i was journaling today this came out of it:    I am high strong, strong willed, a tomboy, intuitive, smart, an entrepreneur. I can protect and take care of my self just fine. I want a guy to take care of me, i want someone stronger, dominantish, someone who can let me take that protective tomboy guard down and take care of me. Someone who will make me know i am safe and that i don't need to learn how to shoot a gun to protect the family. Someone who would say no you don't have to own the guns, have a job, make the money, protect the kids, that's my job. Someone who would make sure i would take care of myself, someone who could take care of me mentally, help me be a girl for once in my life.  I hope that this wish comes true someday.

Countdown-42 days until my 18th birthday

Excitement and Nerves

Hey guys,
So last night i made an impulsive decision, one that will hopefully turn out good in the end. So at my work there is a girl who is an absolutely amazing artist  who offered to do my cover. I immediately accepted, but now i dont know what to ask for as a cover. I have a few ideas as i would want for movie posters and the like, but not an original book cover. She said the best way she could create a cover is if she could read the manuscript, well it isnt finished. She has been asking for the past couple weeks when i am going to be done, the thing is i really dont know. I am so close though, like i only have a few more chapters to write then i have to edit for a proof copy. Well i know that is probably going to be a month out until i will be able to have it ready for a proof copy. So last night i decided to print off what i had as a proof copy (425 pages! over 100k words!) and let her read it. I am going to warn her beforehand that it isnt finished, but i really hope she enjoys what i have so far. It's nerve wracking because no one has read more than a couple pages. I'm handing it off tonight at work and i really hope she likes it!

Countdown-42 days until my 18th birthday

Long awaited update

Well it looks like some people are still keeping up with my blog. I guess that's a good thing, let's me know people are still interested in my life and my writing. So a lot of things have happened since Christmas. The first update that I am sure is long awaited, I am out of my writers block. I currently have 57 chapters written and about 6 left to go. Editing will need to be done and then I will have a proof copy ready for an editor and beta readers. Second piece of news, I have a job working at a sonic. It's not much but I am still a teen. Third, I have my permit. Fourth, I am going into my senior year (finally!).Fifth, I went to TN for a week early in the summer which was awesome and I will tell you more about in a bit. Sixth, I have still not ranked up in TKD, but I know I will soon. Seventh, lots of drama at home.Eighth, I have a new best friend named Abigail. She is absolutely amazing.

So first the book. Wow it has been a long road so far and I know I still have a long ways to go. For those reading the blog, the fact that some of you came back is awesome. It shows I have support even if I never get any comments. I am quite determined to get this book finished and I will for you guys and all the people who know about it and are supporting me. As I am looking at the outline, it seems as though Spitfire is going to be turned into a trilogy. At first i didn't see this coming but It will work out better this way. I know you are all excited and I really hope that it gets published next summer. For all of you guys in here now, I will make sure you get discounts.

Sonic is defiantly interesting. We actually have a ghost that lives there that I nicknamed fred. He is a poltergeist and loves messing with us. The other night he knocked down a bottle of cookie dough syrup make it go everywhere and wasting it.  I don't know if he is antsy or what. Thankfully my manager has had encounters with him and I didn't get in any trouble.

My permit and senior year is a big deal to me because this is my 4th state/high school. Due to all the moves and financial problems I haven't been able to take drivers ed until recently. Thankfully I am a good driver so if I get all my hours I should have my permit on my 18th birthday which is like 50 days away. Due to the moves my credits have been walked up so having one more year to go out of 5 is quite exciting.

TN was great. I got to see Haven, Marcus, John, and a lot of other people. I even made a couple new friends. We went to the lake, movies, and had a bonfire. Malificent is a great film and I highly recommend it. There were like 15 people at the bonfire. We ended up playing chicken at the lake and then playing spin the bottle. I am not going into details, but let's just say it go interesting. I got into some fights with my friends and so some of the visit was sucky, but we pushed it off and enjoyed our time anyways.

TKD has been going okay. It is sometimes really frustrating to see everyone around me ranking up, but at the same time I know I earned my rank and so did they. I know that I still have a little ways to go before I am back where I was and that's okay. My instructor said I should have my red belt by December and hopefully my black belt by next December!

So I know most are probably interested in this drama I am talking about. Well let's just say that I got into a relationship with a 21 year old felon. My parents didn't react to this well and grounded me/banned me from ever seeing him again. Well I still have feelings for him but at the same time I am losing them. It is all so confusing because my parents say he is manipulative and a liar. When I know he is so sweet and caring. It is kinda tearing me apart. Not to mention I have amazing guy back bin TN that I am crushing on and he likes me back. That and he is actually going somewhere with his life and is my age. Right now I have decided to stay single while I finish my book and graduate high school, unless I find someone here at home. I think that staying out of teen drama is probably the best idea though.

Abigail is a great girl friend. She is the first one here I have really gotten close to here and it is pretty nice having someone to confide in and hang out with. She is amazing at soccer and already has scholarship offers for college, I am so proud!

I visited a college I really like earlier this week. I am going to apply there this August actually!

All in all, life has been hectic but it looks like it is settling back down. Wish me luck on my book and 8 will update you within the week!  Well it is like 3 am and I am waking up kinda early so goodnight, or goodmorning, guys!

It's been awhile

Hey everyone, so it has been a long long time since i have been on here, probably about 6 months by now. So i am sorry i kept you guys waiting for an update. I am still in a writers block and i fear i will be for awhile, i have tried everything in the book to push through it but to no avail. Hopefully i will be out of it soon, but for now so long, farewell.
