New Years... again...
Mood: Optimistic
What I'm Listening To: Jay Leno on TV
Boy, this feels familiar! It seems like just yesterday I started this place with the idea to write a book, and now here I am, a year later still not done! It's going to happen. Soon.
Just some general updates, as you all might know, I run a few other blogs. One is for Charity and the other is a better known blog called ChicksView. It's a blog about racing, run and created by me with my friend Meme. Well, in the switch over to the new google accounts that blogger is using, it seems that all of my blogs were put under one account, meaning that they are all listed together and therefore when I post now it is under RaceChick. Which is silly. I don't like it, but honestly, I don't know how to fix it, so just know that RaceChick is me, Brandy, and that I'm working on keeping my two blog identities separate, since racing has absolutely nothing to do with this blog, or my book.
Whew. Well, there.
Now about the book.
I really feel like I'm in the home-stretch now. I really feel like if I put my head down I can have it done by the end of January. Which slightly goes over my deadline of Summer 2006, but you know... stuff happens.
I'm finally getting to the parts that I've been thinking about forever. I saw that JK Rowling said that about writing the last book in the Harry Potter series, and honestly, I can't even imagine what she must be going through. It's exciting for me, but a little overwhelming because I've had such big plans for over a year and now I have to write them and how will they hold up to what I've had in my mind, and so on. She's had amazing, genius ideas for over a decade! Again I'll say, the woman is awesome. Bottom line.
Lately I seem to be having the problem of getting off track, which is sort of funny because I'm working hard to get to the dramatic ending and yet my characters seem to want to talk about prom. I don't know how it happens, so don't ask, but it's funny that this book has turned into such a normal-girl book, even though she has some pretty crazy things happening around her. I'm really happy with it, to be honest with you, because I didn't want this to be a book about magic, evolution or science, as much as I wanted it to be a book about a girl, who happens to have all of those things going on around her. So I'm on my way, it seems.
So I won't bore you anymore with my vague description of my book, which I don't want to go into too much detail about. But I will! I will! When the time is right.
The next few months are looking like they will be the most exciting, scary, dramatic, awesome months of my life (eek!) but I'm looking forward to them. And looking forward to sharing them with you all!
