Being a Senior and Writing a Sequel

So, today was my first day of my senior year of college! Well, my first senior year, anyways. I get to be in college for five years instead of four, but that's okay. More fun for me!

I'm really tired now, but it was a pretty great day. I'm really excited for my Japanese class. I know it's going to be a challenging language to learn, but I'm certain that it will be very rewarding.

As far as book news, I don't have much. There's going to be A LOT of awesome news I'll post in September. Maybe I'll even get to post my cover! Who knows, but look out for that! In the meantime, I'm writing book two of the series.

I'm finding my sequel to be much less difficult to write than Blood Princess was.  I know my characters really well now. I guess that's a weird thing to say, since, you know, I made them up in the first place. I just know them as well as I know myself. I know how Laura would react in any situation, and Shane too. When you first create a character, that's the kind of stuff you have to think about. Now that I've done all that, it's much easier to get into the character's head when I'm writing.

You'd think that means that the writing process goes a lot faster, but it hasn't. Netflix exists, so there is the eternal struggle of watch Netflix or be productive. Netflix wins a lot.

Well, that's all the news I've got for now. I'm so excited to share Blood Princess with you all. Only a few more months, and it will be here!

Well, goodnight everyone! Thanks for the support!

Editing: Round One is Complete!

I just finished my first round of editing! It feels so real now, and I can't wait for Blood Princess to come out in November. Surprisingly, I enjoyed editing. I finished 20 chapters on Monday and I completed the last 7 tonight.

I've also been drawing some of my characters! I'll probably upload some of those sketches on my blog whenever I finish up one of everybody. I have so many ideas for pictures that I'd like to draw, and so little motivation to do so. It would be nice if there was a pen that could just scan the image from my brain and draw it for me. It's 2015. Why don't we have that? We don't even have flying cars for everyday use. Back to the Future was wrong.

Anyway, now that I'm done with that rant. Well, really there's not much else going on. I get to see my best friend in FIVE DAYS after being separated from her for six weeks. FIVE DAYS. Let me tell you, I am so pumped!

Speaking of friends, I just wanted to take a minute and thank everybody for the support that I've gotten since I announced that Blood Princess was getting published. It has meant the world to me! I'm so grateful that God has blessed me by putting so many encouraging, supportive people in my life. So if you've read one of my blog posts, liked my facebook page, shared something, or even just liked my announcement, thank you so much! It means so much to me.

So, that's all I've got for tonight. Now that I've updated my blog and finished my editing, I can go to sleep!

Goodnight!
