The Union.
I am sitting in the union with Sarah and Erin, 2 girls from the house. We have been here since 9 or so...so three hours? I got a lot done, but wasn't really productive. I finished a chapter of my novel, which is a good thing. It is getting there. It will be done...and soon. ANd then I will be happy, finally.
I write too many whiny entries. But nothing else is really going on in my life. I am drinking grape pop which is pretty amazing. But that's about it.
I need to write more, it puts me in such a good mood.
Here is an excerpt. It also somewhat explains the title of the book (Window to Darkness). Obviously it needs work, it all needs work, but the goal is to finish it, than I will fix it so it does not suck as much as it does now.
"And it was nothing like the home I remembered. The past, my memories had deceived me.
So I put the wall back up and in it a glass pane. A window, to the darkness outside. A window to our past. It’s there now, I can see, just as I saw it a moment ago.
The window to darkness."
The whole story has gone in a COMPLETELY different direction than I had planned on, but I like it. It's working for me...There are little holes that need to be fixed and i need to add a few chapters near the beginning, lead into things more. And rewrite the first...four chapters completely. Maybe if I fix those four than things will straighten themselves out in the rest of the storyline and new chapters won't have to be added. But i love chapters 5-18. They are good, but not well written. It's the story, not the writing that is taking me over. I just hope I do the story justice. It's rewarding to be nearing the finish line. And I am so excied to dive back and rewrite it, fix it and make it stronger. Only after i go through it and fix the big things will I pass it on to other people to read. Right now, its not ready for any eyes to see.
