I started the third draft of The Falling last night. It's now at two and a half pages, and a lot has changed, relatively speaking. I cringe when I see how horrible my writing was at the beginning of the story, but then I remind myself I started this shortly before my thirteenth birthday. I feel a little guilty starting on the third draft when I ( Read more... )

Today was intriguing. I slept in relatively late, cleaned my snake's cage, read a little, fixed my jeans, and then went out to Peet's to study. While there, I overheard a few really interesting conversations ( Read more... )

I had to slam on the brakes, and luckily the car behind me wasn't tailgating me, or else I would've gotten rear-ended. And the guy driving the white truck wasn't even on a mobile phone, so that can't be an excuse ( Read more... )

My history class at the JC today was boring because we watched a video. The teacher may be a very nice person and indeed is an actual friend of mine, but she has a teacher's taste in documentaries. I'm glad the class is only an hour and a half or else I'd probably fall asleep a lot of the time ( Read more... )
