FAR BEHIND

Sometimes I just don't feel like spilling my guts to an invisible audience, but today I figure, why not? I am currently eating nutella on squaw bread :] It is sooo good. Also, I'm slowly but surely getting over my ex. He and I are still friends, but it's time for me to move on, or I never will. I'm working on three novels at the same time. I love them all equally. I FINISHED MY FIRST NOVEL! It's still in the editing process, but the first draft is finally complete. It's the one that is in the turn of the century that I've been working on since the end of my sophomore year of high school.
I've also been reading this book called "Novelist's Boot Camp" by Todd A. Stone. Not that I'm an idiot or anything, but it reminds me to do things and keeps me organized. It's been extremely helpful so far with working on 3 books at the same time (though I do not recommend being that crazy... one i finished, the other i'm working on with a friend, and the last one i just couldn't let the idea go to waste). My writing and work and school and friends have been keeping me extremely busy lately. I'm also looking into what schools I want to transfer to and getting financial aid. I'm pretty stuck between USD and UCSC. I have friends at both schools and I've been to USD twice now, but haven't visited UCSC yet. I'm supposed to go the week after their spring break, so hopefully going up there will help make or break my decision.
Anyways, I'm off to get ready for work. Still at Forever 21... Sigh... I'm doing pretty well there but it's just not enough hours, and it's just not the place for me. I think I'm going to try finding somewhere else.

And just because I'm nice, I'm going to tell you a little bit about a new budding crush I have. I won't get too specific, but he's in one of my classes and we've only known each other a little while, but we're already talking like old friends. I love that we're so open with one another and he seems like a really positive kind of guy. I really need that in my life right now. He always asks me about my writing and we talk about books and music and movies. He even drove me home one day even though it was past where he lives. I haven't seen him in a while and he works a lot so I don't text him very often, but I can't wait to see him next time.

All right, I'm off now~ bye!
