MILESTONE

Well, world of blogging. I finished my novel. "The Fire and Flame Trilogy, Book I: Ahrn". This wonderful phenomenon happened at 12:27am on 8/27/09. My book has a LOT to do with threes, so I was THRILLED at all the numerical perfectness! =D (27=3cubed [3x3x3], 9=3 squared, 1+2 (12)= 3!!!!) Heehee. ;) It was 413 pages long (I guess I could say 4-1=3, right? haha) and 27 (*squee!*) chapters. (yes, I AM crazy. Nice to meet you)

Next step- editing. I've already begun... Book I WILL need a lot of rewriting and I've already finished the prologue and new first chapter. I'm also a decent way into the first chapter of Book II!!!

AND I"M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!! I've been working on THIS novel for THREE (yes, 3!! yay!) =D years (not writing this actual DRAFT for three years... I wrote the 413 pages in 13mos...). I am SO excited to finally have a satisfactory draft on my hands. It's thrilling.

wish I could say more, but I've gotta get back to work! ;) College Economics class started in addition to the craziness of devoting my every spare minute to writing, so we'll see how juggling all that goes... not to mention my regular school hasn't started yet... *sigh* But I'll find the time to write/edit. I always do. ;)

(Em backwards, for those who, um, didn't get that...)

well. here i am, sitting in a very chilly (and cool) cafe falling asleep. oy... there's a STARBUCKS not ten yards away from me, but i have no cash. bleh. WHY am I here, you ask? (well, actually, you CAN'T really ask, 'cause I'm about to tell you... =D ) It's my first day on my new job! I'm a teacher's assistant for a 7th grade co-op (Classical Conversations, for any of you who've heard of it) that I took four years ago. The teacher was my teacher so it's gonna be lots of fun. I help for her Math class, Latin class, and Science class. Math= me grading quizzes. Science= me grading/editing papers. Latin= me teaching 9 kids (half the class)! THAT will be interesting. Anyways, today is the first day of class, so I kinda got introduced to the class, but, since I will typically be only working mornings, I'm sitting in the resident cafe of the church this co-op meets in. And I'm really tired. And it's really cold. And that smell of coffee is driving me nuts. =P

annnnnnnd.... this post is really random, but i'm really too tired to write anything else. my brain is dead. :P

so I will close with an emphatic:

GOOOOOOOO PATRIOTS!!!!!!! =D
