After-Christmas News~

Howdy, y'all,

Soooo, how was everyone's Christmas?? Mine was spectacular. I never wanted it to end. Okay, not everything was always fun, but I'd rather be at home helping my mother prepare lambing pens for soon-to-be ewe mothers than be at college again, studying. :( Not cool at all. Plus, I am trying to financially decide on if I should--since I have one more year left of college unfortunately--stay at the dorms one more year OR get an apartment. I'll be 22 soon, after all, and even though I'm following God's will for my life, I'm getting kind of sick of the dorms. I've been there for four whole years, after all. And because of several different situations in my life right now, I don't really know if He wants me to get an apartment or stick through another year of dorm life cuz it might be easier. If you have any ideas, please feel free to comment on this blog, as long as it's nothing inappropriate, that is.

On the plus side, I think I will have more time for stuff outside classes this semester. Particularly, knitting. That's right, folks. I'm learning to knit. There's this favorite book of mine that I love so much where the narrator is constantly knitting, that it inspired me. I love it so far, even though I'm still on Lesson 1. But with God all things are possible, right? Besides, I think it'll be fun to try new hobbies.

Busy time...so by the time I blog again hopefully it will not be busier than it is now. God willing, of course.

So that's the scoop so far!! Happy 2010 everybody!! :)

Ta!! :)

Change of Mind? or Heart....

All right, I changed my mind about writing about the Triangle Fire in 1911. I wasn't enjoying my writing, and shouldn't

a writer enjoy writing something instead of dread it? I thought about that, and decided that the whole story would also be

way too sad to let someone die at the end when throughout the whole story it's an optimistic and romantic time!

So, I decided to write something different, and I'm actually excited about it. It's about the college life, and this couple

are college seniors. One of the protagonists, Ava McDonnell, discovers from her family that they think she's not happy

in life. At hearing this, she tells her friend Glenda that she needs to maybe choose a best friend to hang out with, and maybe

she'll be happier than, even though she thinks she is happy. Glenda doesn't know what to do with her, but lets her pick

this random guy named Jack Collins in the library to be her best friend. She makes a good choice, because Jack's humor and sarcasm

about life, his constant wit and making her laugh help her eventually discover that this might be more than just friendship.

The problem is, Jack has adored Ava from afar, and she doesn't even know it. He wants to choose her as more than a best friend,

especially since she's been dreaming about finding her one true love since age thirteen.

Should I let you guys know how the story works out? I'm excited about it, and if y'all ever get on my blog,

I'd appreciate you telling me your thoughts.

Thanks, and have a good one!! :)
