Rewriting still!

Ello! sorry I haven't been updating anyone lately; I haven't done much work on my book. I'm glad to say, though, that I've been doing pretty well on the rewriting. the new book I started last night, called Evernight, is absolutely amazing. The author, Alyson Noel, is absolutely an amazing author. Just the first SENTANCE made me think 'woah...this rocks.' I'm gonna put the first sentance or paragraph or whatever here for you to read:

"Guess who?"

Haven's warm, clammy, palms press hard against my cheeksas the tarnished edge of her silver skill ring leaves a smudge on my skin. And even though my eyes are covered and closed, I know that her dyed black hair is parted in the middle, her black vinyl corset is worn over a turtleneck (keeping in compliance with our school's dress-code policy), her brand-new, floor-sweeping, black satin skirt already has a hole near the hem where she caught it with the toe of her Doc Martens boots, and her eyes appear gold but that's only because she's wearing yellow contacts.

I also know her dad isn't away on "business" like he said, her moms personal trainer is way more "personal" than "trainer," and her little brother broke her Evanescence CD but he's too afraid to tell her.

but I don't know any of this from spying or peeking or even being told. I know because I'm psychic.


NOW who can tell me how AWESOME that writing is? seriously she's one of the best authors I've ever read. I think I may just need to add her to my list of authors who's books I want to collect. Anyway, I don't remember if I mentioned that I made the first page in my original copy of my book into 2,000 words. And the font is one size smaller on the rewriting than in the original and it STILL takes up more pages!! I can't wait to completely finish writing this book and actually FINISH it.
