Oh...My...God.
I finished editing it, again. Yeah, that's right, I edited it again. And I'm getting it published by August 23rd. Just to warn you, the old link doesn't work anymore. It wasn't working correctly. Here's a new and improved one.

Yay!
So, my first 'publication' is coming out soon. I have multiple pieces in my school's lit mag. I don't know if that counts and if I can put it on my query letter, but I hope so!
I have a friend reading my book, the same one I was writing ages ago, and he's helping me edit it for things that not-authors might be confused by. He's also making sure I'm not spelling it out too much.
I think I already talked about that...oh well.
Other than that, most of my writing has been Sims 3 writing...I like to think it helps me with characterization some times, it's really fun too :3
That's all for now. I'm going to go check out my other blogs and probably write more in one of my stories.

Not Giving Up!
So...I haven't posted on here in a long time, I know. But it's not because I've given up on my dream, far from it! I edited the book, again. Then I started editing it a 5th time. I currently have 30 story ideas(maybe 31) including the one I finished. I am having a friend read it right now(other than my usual editor-friend) to see what he thinks, from a regular reader point of view.
The querying thing is still at a halt, even though my foot has heeled for a long time now. In fact, I think I broke it a year ago. I'm a junior in high school now, too. I really hope that I can get at LEAST a lit agent before I get out of high school.
Trust me, I'm not ever giving up on this. Even if I'm 30 years old with a kid or two and a husband and job, I'm not gonna give up! (Well, if it takes that long I may give up on THIS story idea and concentrate on another one, but still...not gonna give up on the dream.)
Anyway, I'll try to write again soon instead of leaving you hanging for almost a year again.
Bye!

Updates
I got an email from a lit agent telling me I should join some writing groups. He's the first one to actually tell me something I can do to improve my writing! I'll happily do that, and I'll also stop sending out queries until I edit it, yet again...I sent out one that I didn't have anything attached to, because they said they didn't want anything attached to it...I wonder if I can get it edited before they respond, if they even want to see it.
Also, in the actual WRITING department of being a future author, I have been working on my new story. I wrote more than 2k today, which is what I used to write every day for my first book, so I'm happy! Plus, this story isn't going to be a full length book. If I wrote 2k every day, I think I could get it finished by the end of the month. But, since I'll probably edit mine instead, I may take a longer time to finish it. I dont' know how long it's going to be. It'll be anywhere from 20k to 40k words I think. Depending on the length, I'll write a few more stories and then have a short story collection. I think it's going to be closer to 20k, but this is only the first draft, and I must say...it's not amazing. I would be mortified if it got published.
So, I must go, because it's almost 2 in the morning, I really want to open up my book now and edit it all night long, but I think I'm going to turn off my laptop and try to get some sleep. operative word being TRY. I'll let myself start working if I'm up at 3...yah that'll work!

Ideas, Ideas, Ideas
So, some of you may know I'm bad at having one idea and sticking to it--which is extremely helpful. I've had plenty of ideas and I'm currently writing 2 or 3 different ones...at once. But right NOW, I'm playing sims. I got a laptop, which will help since I can work anywhere, and almost all of my documents are on here, thankfully! a few, sadly, aren't on here yet...I must go now, but I'll talk later!
