Trying to remember to keep this updated is harder than usual considering it's the end of the semester and all of my class instructors decided to give me extensive research papers to work on. *faints*
At any rate, I'm still trying to keep a little bit of non school related writing going, but it's going very very slowly. I also came to the realization that the story I started working on is not ready to be written yet, so I am jumping back to the story I was working on originally. Hopefully, I can keep myself from editing the first few chapters over and over again. My inner editor seriously needs a time out.
While I'm on the subject of writing, here are two links from authors who give very good information about writing, the writing process, and other helpful tid-bits that can be extremely useful to new writers like myself.

Bouncing on to another subject, I recently discovered Lady Londonberry tea which has quickly worked its way onto my list of favorite teas. Currently, my list of favorite teas includes Irish Breakfast, Japanese Sencha, and the Zen tea from Tazo which is a blend of green tea, lemon grass and spearmint. Yum Yum. I felt very proud of myself when I was able tell Lady Londonberry had strawberries and lemon-balm in it before looking at the list of ingredients. I only bought an ounce of it when I was at the tea store, I'm going to have to go back and get more. =)

Waiting for Frankenstorm
Soooooo, New blog. Ta Da!
The reason I’m starting this up again is simply because I know it’s good for me to write on a regular basis, and I don’t, which is bad, so hopefully, this is going to push me to write more often.
With Hurricane Sandy (aka, “Frankenstorm”) tearing up the coast, my family and I along with most of the east coast are buckling down for some nasty weather. The sun never managed to make it out of cloud cover today, the air is charged with nervous energy, and the wind is making everything quiver. It’s getting me quite excited.
Theo, our cat is simply miserable because he thinks he should go outside, but we aren’t letting him for obvious reasons. It’s hard saying ‘no’ to such a cute creature.
On another note, the light bulb in my reading lamp broke yesterday and I have been forced to sit at my desk. Not exactly comfortable for pleasure reading. Hopefully, later this week AFTER the storm, I can convince my brother or father to find me a new light bulb.
Lastly, also yesterday, I spent an hour or two writing in the new novel I just started. I put my poor protagonist in a meeting with a rather mean businessman who is giving her direct insults. It’s fun to write someone insulting someone else, but the insults are nasty enough (though not vulgar) to make me wince myself. This character is only around for one scene. I’m going to have to write him in somewhere else.
