Blogging, Writing, Reading, and EVERYTHING ELSE.

When I don't write on here in about a week I feel that I suck at blogging.  However, my blog stats and what not shows that I am doing quite well. But who really knows.

Anywho,

This is a little update on my book, my life and just this dang blog in general.

First off, writing a book seems a lot easier than it is. Especially since I am one of those crazy people that reads and rereads and rereads again. I make mistakes, I go and fix them, I take stuff out and put stuff in.

Let me just say that writing the Prologue was soooo easy. Basically it's because I know exactly what I want to write about. In school, starting papers was always my problem. Once I got them going then I got going. So at the beginning of each chapter I have a feeling I am going to be doing a lot of starring. That's not where I am now, but that's where I was.

I was starring at Chapter 1 like it was the plague. It took me FOREVER to start it.

Now I am writing and the dilemma that I am running into is what kind of book should this be?

Should I write a typical non-fiction love story or a hot and steamy romance.

With that I have two issues.

1.) I cuss entirely too much and sometimes a makeout session is a little too much for the "typical" love story.

2.) I may be 25 years old but writing a romance novel is funny. I mean how can you not laugh when writing "so he ripped her clothes off, went down on her and gave her the best orgasm ever." I mean, don't you blush a little when reading that? I giggled writing it.

So I spoke to my boyfriend about it and my exact words were "So what do I do, write a boring love story and just go balls to the wall?" His response "DO IT!" Whatever that means. (I'm secretly hoping he meant romance novel because that will be funny.)

Anyhow,

I was a few chapters in and decided I wasn't liking the route that I was going. So I kept the prologue and started rewriting. Chapter 1 is awesome SO FAR.

I have all of my ideas about the book written down.

And let me just tell you.... even if this book never get's published, it'll be my baby, the number 1, the start of ALL THINGS EPIC.

So, on top of writing that bad boy I've also been reading some, hanging out with the girls, and of course showing my boyfriend some attention(possibly a little too much.)

Yesterday was mine and (the boy's) anniversary.

3. WHOLE. YEARS.

I know that doesn't seem like a lot but it is. Moving in with him at a year was tough. Dealing with my family issues has been hard on us both. And then there's that whole college thing that seemed to take forever. But here we are, 3 years later and we're ROCKIN'. Except for me being stuck up his ass lately. I just can't help it. Sometimes I really miss him and I am clingy and just want to be around him all the time. It's kind of weird. He knows it. I know it. It's just weird. But I love him and I can't help wanting to stare at his cute little face all the time.

So my reading has kind of went downhill lately. I was reading my butt off at the beginning of the year and set a goal for myself that I would read 60 books this year. That means a little more than a book a week. I was killing it at the beginning but then I finished a series and couldn't really find anything that was interesting me. I started the blog and writing a book and it pushed my book reading farrrr off. I read a book a few weeks ago and it was NOT AT ALL what I thought it was be. It was literally the first time that I read a book, finished it and when I was done I just sat there. Didn't feel a thing. What the crap is that? Then I read another series two weekends ago. 3 books in like 3 days. That is when you KNOW a book is good. It's freaking awesome.

So, I need to get back on my reading game.

And last but not least there's that thing called friends. You know the girls I hang out with when I've had enough of dealing with the guys at my house and need some estrogen in my life.
Hanging out with them is always an adventure.

Oh and how did I forget the benefit tournament that I am now doing for my mom.

Okay, that is the last thing. I promise.

The benefit tournament is to raise money for my mom as she is awaiting a liver transplant.

It's going to be one of the BEST fundraiser tournaments ever. The things that I already have for the silent auction are AMAZINGGGG! I seriously can't wait until it all comes together.

So, it's been a hectic few months.

And my few I mean the last two.
It's been a lot, that's for sure.

But nonetheless I am still alive...

Until next time....
