Okay! I'm feeling good. Last night I got all my reading done so I could watch a movie with my mum, then this morning I had my class, came home, and cleaned my room and unpacked a few more boxes. It is almost unpacked! There is 3 more boxes I believe, and everything feels so much tidier and I know where everything is. Plus I have nothing stored under my bed which is great because it always gets so dusty there. I also did a whole lot more planning on my way home from school. Basically I talked to myself the whole car ride home. I AM SO EXCITED! So only one you people know this because I wasn't sure if I should tell anyone yet but I am finally finally finally writing a book. Maybe I am crazy. Yes, I am crazy. But seriously already these characters feel like my long lost friends and I almost can't handle the plot line already, it's just so intense. I have never had so many ideas for a book as I do now. It is awesome and it's all because the other day I was just fed up with myself for not even trying to write a novel. Then I realized the problem was that I was always sitting around waiting for the ideas to just fall in my lap when that's not going to happen. So during my break at school I started small, with a vague idea, just started writing a plot as if I were going to write a screenplay. The ideas just kept coming! I read online that it's good to spend about a month just planning. I can definitely see that, because my other problem was that I never wanted to spend time planning. I already have a lot written down for the plot. I think I need to do more character development although I have a pretty good sense of the 5 main characters already. I love how the ideas just hit me, I was sitting there when suddenly I was like "oh my god. trey and kate hooked up when they were teenagers" And I was pretty much appalled thinking "wow Anna is going to be shocked" then I realized that yes I am definitely crazy! But that's okay. Because crazy is better than boring, and this book is going to happen no matter what! So this is day 2 of my month of planning, wish me luck!!!
