Updates forthcoming

Awww yeah I actually followed through and have been writing. Though it's weird cause I'm writing this book on my laptop, on my desktop, and in a notebook at work when I have down time. So trying to keep all of the documents up to date and like organized is actually a challenge. Luckily, I have drop box (even on my phone) so I throw it in there and then download the latest version on whatever computer I'm on and save it again. It'd probably be easier if I only wrote in one place but that would be smart and simple and make waaaaaay too much sense.

This next part is going to have um...well I guess some spoilers? Not like plot ones or anything but location. And stories about why I chose it and whatnot. Cause I couldn't think of what else to write about since this is the part of the book I'm currently working on I figured I'd give some info on it. So....I guess if you don't want to know the road map for it, you could stop reading here.

So, let's see. Updates include actually beginning the road trip sequence of the book. Yup, book two is a road trip. First stop, Washington County, Maine. Ok personally, never actually been there. It's like in the middle of the wilderness. However, my parents go there like a ton. Something about liking the open space and not having neighbors and maybe taking up serial killing or something, I don't know. In any case, they told me once they were sitting on the porch when a black bear just came up out of the woods and like crossed the road all being a bear. And there's moose crossing signs everywhere. And like a ton of people actually choose to live off the grid, no power no internet no city water no nothing. Like wow. So, what better place than the middle of the woods off the grid for a werewolf family to live?

Ok that one actually was a spoiler. Werewolf family. I'm not gonna say any more about that. Nothing to see here, move along. I'm not sure if I'm gonna do the NaNoMoWri thing again this year (or well....attempt cause I totally didn't finish last year). I like the concept because it sort of pushes me to write more. But also I sort of get stressed about it and then real life comes in and I kind of procrastinate. As usual. So I think instead I'm going to focus on writing regularly instead of trying to pump out like 5k words a day.

Awww yeah consider my year MADE

Riiiight so, guess who hasn't been updating anything? Or really writing? Or much of anything besides work and minecraft and working out? Hey PS did I mention work? Like actual money creating job, which is awesome in that money but not awesome in that, I have to wake up at like 7:30. Who does that. (Hint: basically the rest of the world)

Right so anyway, what brings about this random new splurge in updating? I totally randomly checked out my Amazon page for the book and...lo and behold there was a new review there. As in one I hadn't ever seen. And what's more it was totally from someone I didn't personally beg to write it. Which means...someone I don't personally know actually read the damn thing and then actually liked it enough to write a review about it. Like whoa. Really? That's fucking amazing. Like that was the ENTIRE reason I even bothered going through the whole thing. Totally just made my existence.

So now that I know someone besides me actually read it (and I didn't pay them to haha) I now totally want to get back to the sequel. Which is ever so slightly hard to do because I've been like...stupidly happy. Boyfriend, job, working out, like....I haven't got time to be depressed and write twenty pages a night. Which is possibly the best excuse why I haven't been writing (sorry can't write today, life's too awesome....) but again really any excuse is kind of a cop out. My bad. So I am going to go back to trying to write every night and get some real progress made on it. Writers should be able to write in any mood really, and also it'll give me something to think about at work besides well...work.
