Summer Update: Tug-of-Wars
Hello everyone!
The past, nearly, four months, have been amazingly busy. I am going to blame my semi-productivity (ie. finals, studying abroad in London, dog sitting, article writing, loving my boyfriend and summer classes) for slacking so terribly. Anyway, putting excuses aside! Here are my updates (there's a surprise at the end)!
NUMBER ONE:
The Secret Keeper
The sequel, I am afraid, still has to be heavily edited. Also, I must confess that it has been difficult to focus on it with college things and what not. I do promise, it will be done within the year. I won't promise a date, but I am hoping by New Yer's Eve of 2015.
NUMBER TWO
Learning to be a Writer: A Constant Tug-of-War
Anyone, who has written any novel from the ages of thirteen to thirty, will know the difficulties of finding a writing style and then keeping it consistent. A writers style and what they enjoy to write about, are two things that continually change (well maybe not always, ie. Nicholas Sparks and Co. ). For me however, I know that as I learn more in my classes and through things I write, I cam constantly changing. In fact over the course of this year, I have discovered that I am more of a poem writer than a prose writer. Yet, that is not even completely true. I love world-building. I love prose. It's a tug-of-war.
So my point is, is that I have been working on many things aside from the Legends of Linderservia series. I am not going to abandon that world, not at all, but I need to take a break from it and learn.
NUMBER THREE
New Projects
I have a series of new projects (something all writers say, when maybe our new projects are actually old ones that we have either renovated completely- forming a new idea- or we are experimenting with, arguably for the best for our readers and ourselves). Here are two I am currently working on and might interest you, though they are school related:
1.. Disambigutology - this is the name of a blog I am creating as a final for my London study abroad. It will be ready to be viewed by August 4th and will have photos from London and most importantly, writing. A lot of writing, It will be a perfect example of how a writer's style changes. I am SO excited for it to be finished!
2. A Thesis- I am writing a thesis out of my own will. It's outline is nearing completion, though it is still a skeleton. This will take a year to complete. I can say two things about: it will be very connected to Scotland and poetry.
Finally, that is all, stay with me and we can all get through this writing drama!
Best of the best,
Christine

SURPRISE!
