I AM going to change this template until I make one and you can't stop me.

Today I didn't break my finger at practice, which is pretty great. I'm asking my coach to the prom he can't go to because he'll be in the Bahamas on that day. He doesn't know that yet though and he already expects me to ask him, since we made a point to ask all three of them.
I'm making him a poster that very simply says "Prom?" and I'm going to yell his name before he goes on to perform this Saturday. It'll be pretty cute, I'll post a picture if I remember to take one.

Other than that I've made some pretty major progress in my book. Well, major as far as what's been happening the rest of the time. I got through a rough patch in the chapter I'm working on currently and got organized enough to read through the whole the thus far. I can't decide if I want to make the back-story a separate book. As in the first one in the series... It's a series of two if I do that. Or if I want to make it a parallel within the first book. Or if I want to release it afterwards as a prequel. I guess I'll write both options and see which I like more.

Back to guard for a minute, I'm frustrated with my solo tosses. I'm good at solos, but I'm inconsistent with trick tosses. Unfortunately, one of these solos is only a trick toss. (Six sabre turn around) and because we changed it from a seven to a six (we don't get credit for sevens in A-2 and we want it.) I've been dropping it and scratching the crap out of my hands with it. I'll work on it, but still, it's pretty annoying. I know, I know. Diva problems: Gets featured in show, bitches about it.

Will it be funny if this post goes guard, book, guard book? I think so. Pretend its a poem with a "theme scheme" of ABAB.

Warning: Unintelligible use of curse words to paraphrase the plot of my book in the next paragraph.
It doesn't really count anyway given that this book has nothing to do with the other. I haven't run into a wall with that one so much as I got to a certain point, and now I forget what's supposed to happen next. Maeris is a kid, gets rescued from abuse by Damien, falls in love with Damien, Damien is some 1000's of years old so he doesn't even see her as an adult until she reaches a couple 100. Damien creates vampires like a baws (the scary kind. Demon vamps don't sparkle). They go to a meeting and Lupin is all like "mutha fuka pleaze" and Damien's all like "like a sir." and bitches him in the face with God rules. So they fight some.... Then I forget, honestly.

I'll probably end it with something completely mundane like Maeris making breakfast or something. Then again, she doesn't cook. Damien is a God he has servants. So she'll probably be doing something seeker-y. Collecting souls, maybe. I like her a lotso she gets the ending. Probably, because she's not a red-head. I LOVE red hair and in my mind she had red hair for a long time. I made her kind of a boring blond though since the Goddess Lillian has red hair.

This is getting too long. No one cares anymore. I know when I read a super long post *cough*Sawyer*cough* I stop reading and start skimming. So, this is the end. Good bye, for now, good people of the internet.

If I were a better writer

If I were a better writer I wouldn't have to think about whether or not to write who or whom. I wouldn't have had to take the "e" off of whom because I accidentally spelled it "whome" the first time. I would probably stop reminding myself that "effect is a noun." I would remember the rule about semicolons and stop abusing commas.
I know for a fact if I were a better writer, I would be able to just write. I wouldn't be too busy to for typing and instead of finishing a chapter every couple of months it would take me a couple months (okay not exactly a couple) to finish the first draft.
What I'm actually complaining about here is the fact that memebase.com is distracting me from being a writer.
This isn't to say I'm a bad writer. I think I'm a good writer for my age, but everyone could be better.
If this were a "if I was a better editor" post, the list would be endless.

Now that I think about it, if I were a better writer, I'd probably be writing rather than blogging at this very second.

uh-oh.

The humming birds.....

... make it increasingly difficult to change the background. That's not to mention changing and customizing the overall life of my blog. I love humming birds.
Being able to design webpages means being able to create life. Being able to design webpages can also mean being a plastic surgeon for websites that are already partially built for you, which is much harder in my opinion.
So you now friends. TEMPLATE FOR YOU! I am supposed to be sleeping right now, after all.

My Main intention for this blog is to help me to keep writing and to get opinions. You will not be able to read my entire book from this page. If you are interested in reading the whole thing/helping me beta it that is absolutely wonderful. Just email me or send me a message or something. (millykays@gmail.com)

Things to do:
Draw and color book related art for layout
Fix layout
Fix the atrocious blog title
Organize the page
