I have been so bugged down with building a home that I forgot I have a novel to write.
I guess it's not that I have to write the story... but it's like it seeping out of my body... pouring through my fingers and toes!
Raven is begging to written about... she is begging me to be ALIVE!
Hopefully tonight I will upload some of my story here... or maybe just write another chapter!
Building a home... creating an OCD friendly house is very difficult. Good thing i don't count anymore... I just alphabetize and color code... oh well... all who live with me know.
I love you all out there who read my blog.
It means the world to know I can post my words and just have someone read them and just know what I am feeling...
This is where I will write about my frustrations on writing my first novel. How I will go from paper to print... the goal for me is to have a printed novel. It has always been my dream to write for others, this is my process to making that a reality. Enjoy, help, and listen... it will make the novel great if you do.
Will you take the Journey?
Journey with a first time novelist as she logs all of her fears, frustrations, and goals into one blog. Take the time to give her your feed back... and help her create something truly worth reading.

Music...
Isn't it amazing how people use music?
I mean... i use music to just function in the "real world"...
I use music to eat to, breath to, shower to, talk to other people to... i use it for sleep and writing and reading... i use it to relay i feeling to someone else.
I seriously use it for my life.
Just recently it came to fruition in my brain that a playlist for my characters is a must.
Wow! i used to write these long, breathless journal entries to describe everything for me... now it's as simple as music.

Working...
Lately i have been doing more working than writing... not saying that it's a bad thing... but it does make me sad. I am starting to feel as if i will never get another chapter done. sometimes the wish to be a full time writer takes over... with that comes the realization that unless i get a publisher soon... that's not going to happen. Sadness for that realization.
Excitedly thought, i let everyone know that i have a new house and will soon be following through on my threat of posting random parts of my novel on my blog! That's assuming people read this thing...

New Changes
I am heading down a road of new changes!
I have said this before... but, until just a few minutes ago... I was trying to make the old life fit the new one.
It just can't...
Changes in writing style:
This book has to be written... the characters are bombarding my head...
They need to get out and on paper! I am dreaming about them and they are so real!
First major change to the book is; it needs to be first person. I am trying to create different views on the same story and it's not working. So, it's going to be just from Raven's view. It's mainly about her so... she must be the who we all see the world from.
Second; creating a music playlist. For so long my life has been defined by music, so why can't my writing and characters be centered around the same? Music is my world, and writing is my muse.
Third: new and final character addition.
Characters are now:
Raven, Jordan, Mally, Sadie, Airianna, Landon, King Callus, and Katarine
With these writing changes... maybe I'll get something done!

Today
Today I am feeling quite energetic!
Maybe it's because I have had WAY too much coffee... or maybe it's because for the first time in awhile my plans are working!
See, I am a planner... I have every aspect of my life planned out. But, lately these plans have been changing and I am finding more and more that I can't control them. However, I just need to adapt. So... I have adapted. I have changed plans... changed lifestyles without compromising my essence and maintained what is the core of me. It's not without hard work and a little houmer to get me through.. OCD blows big chunky bawls! I refuse to let it define me!
With that! Goooooo me... I plan on writing some today!
