Wow, it's been such a long time. I'm on my seventh assignment of my writing course, but I am on leave from the course cause I went through basic training this summer and right now my jaw is wired shut from corrective jaw surgery. But once I start feeling a little better I'll be right back on that course and finishing some other writing projects. Well everyone wish me luck.

Got "Space Cows" out the door, to my instructor. It'll probably be a little late. But oh well. If she was an editor or something. I think it would be way different, but she's my instructor, so it's not as important. Though I should remember to treat her like she is, because it's good practice for the time I'll actually have a real editor waiting on a manuscript. Well, all done. So now I'm working on my grandma's story, then hopefully I can jump into one of my other stories, or abandon them and start something new.

Well, I have my rough copy of my new story "Space Cows" complete. My fifth assignment is due tomorrow, or at the least, should be in the mail by tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow morning I'll finish the story, and the cover letter, and a small note to my instructor, then I'll speed mail it with the one day mailing service to the institute. Thats if all goes well. I already rewrote space cows once now. First I had my main character Waret rescuing cows in crates during a heavy intense space battle, but because of word restrictions, I couldn't get the full detail out on the paper the way it should be. So I cut back, and just made the story of Waret securing the cows, and getting himself to safety. It still is very good I think, but I would like the space battle. What I'm doing is keeping my first draft. That way later I can rewrite the story once again for a magazine with bigger word restrictions, so I can get a better fuller story in.

Well, I'm going to bed. It's been a long day.

I read my course material for my next assignment. Now it's all about getting down to the writing. I think it will go good. My teacher likes the idea, and says its like a space western. I liked the idea as well, and when I am enthused about a project, I think my writing comes out pretty good. I'll have more for you later, maybe even a snippet from the story.

Talk to you all later,

Ya, Still no writing. I've been real interested in body building lately. So I have been writing, somewhat. Writing up my workout plans. I know, doesn't really count as writing, but oh well. Thought I would leave a link to my body building blog. You can check it out here.

Other then that, I did read up on my next assignment in my writing course. Have to write a story for the space cows proposal. Been feeling a little depressed lately, so that'll put a damper on my writing efforts, but I will have to get working on the march 14th assignment real soon.


Talk to you later guys. And don't worry, I'm not super depressed, just worried about stuff that's happening in my teenage years.

Well, once again, it's been a long while since I've posted on my blog. It's now the new year, two months in actually. I haven't written on any of my stories, accept some for my writing course. I have to write a story by March 14 for my writing course, so I'll be on that pretty soon. Then I have been working on a story my Uncle Ray and my Grandma have been writing. She had it all fixed up and ready to send out to editors, then somebody stole her laptop. Her wrists are to old, so she can't fix it up again because it hurts her to much, so now I'm fixing it up for her. Once thats all done, and my writing course assignment is done, I want to start working on "Greywoods" again, and on "The Thorn Prince". So thats how things have been going. Oh I did get some writing in. Wrote a poem for a girl I liked for valentines. She liked it, which made me super happy.

Well got to go and milk some beefers. I'll try to keep posting up to date from now on.

Well, I haven't posted in a while. NaNoWriMo started out good for me.... I think. I wrote everyday, hitting the minimum word count at the least, but most times exceeding it by at least 300 words easy. I did this for a week and a half, but with everything else I had to do, like work, homework, and just some time to relaxe, writing those words had me up to 2:00Am in the morning everyday. I couldn't handle it. I fell asleep in class, I was losing energy for sport performance. So I said, I'll write everyday, but I won't write that much. So now I write almost everyday around 400 words or so a day. I can do that, and it doesn't kill me at all. I am 37,000 words, but I didn't die getting them.
I have been getting into drawing people and stuff. I have an idea for some of my short stories that I know won't have a chance at publication without some serious work overs. So I thought if I get good a drawing I might try turning them into comic books. Don't know how well it will turn out, but it would probably be fun.
Well, better get going guys. Happy writing.
