2/17-Over at Shayla's house. I've spent the night. We've been reading WD articles but haven't actually gotten to the books yet...don't worry. We've got 'till noon. New names for the characters and a different approach to the prolouge in order to introduce the story.

1/23-I've been doing so bad on my novel! I need another sleepover with Shayla to get anything done. I can't find the insensitive to work on anything. I actually need to finish my short story.

12/16-Reading some writing books and starting on some different things related to my novel. Becoming A Writer is definitely one I'd advise you to read.

11/25-Okay, things are totally different now than I thought they ever would be. But, this book has gone such a long way. I love, absolutely love, how it's turning out. I've got the prologue figured out, along with almost all the main characters, and maybe five or six character profiles done!

11/14-Found a new ending for my book! So excited, but the thing is, I gotta rewrite a few things from earlier on so it flows better. Going over to Shayla's Friday for a sleepover! Hopefully that'll help me finish my Order Of Events and get started on Chapter Outlines. I haven't done anything with my book for a while, I need to get working.

9/10-Going to work on my book this afternoon. Been writing alot of poetry lately. It's been so nice to get my feelings out on paper in a creative form. If you'd like to see a few they're on my blog trueblueabbi.blogspot.com

9/7-Haven't worked on much. Hoping to finish Order Of Events soon. Then start to work on Chapter Outlines.

8/29-Re-writing the Order Of Events, changing things up a little, and working on Character Profiles. So far I've got the main character Sairi Heffington, her uncle Dayne Heffington, and a boy that comes into play later, Daniel Fayett. These Writers Digest magazines are really helping me out. I'm also hoping to Skype with Shayla soon. So, all in all I'm getting a move on things! It's coming along nicely. Hoping to be able to start on Chapter Outlines soon.

8/26-A few days ago I got my first Writers Digest magazine! Except...surprise! There were two! I just got through one of them and it's chalked full of absolutely wonderful ideas and tips that I will most definitely be sharing in the near future. It's given me so much to work with for my novel and I am more informed than ever before.

8/1- I haven't had time to work on my novel lately. But, I'm hoping once I get back into the homeschool routine I can catch back up.

7/12- This past week there was a reason I wasn't posting (smiles) There was a family reunion at my house and I was busy with a bunch of little kids. But...I did shave out a few minutes here and there to get advice from my Aunt who's getting her book published this October! She really helped me understand different things and got the plot a little more. It's not set in stone yet, but, I think it might be getting close. I'll post some more stuff later!

6/28- Last Wednesday I brought my notes to Young Womens and was able to get some help from the girls (and leaders!) So, I think I'm on event 30, but I can't quite remember. So all in all, it's coming along nicely!

6/21- Today I had Shayla over and we were able to get more information for my novel. Yay! I'm pretty much in the middle of writing the Order Of Events. After I'm done with that I'll start writing out my Character Information. By the time I'm done with that hopefully I'll have enough information to start Chapter Outlines. I guess that's all for now! I'll give more information later.

6/20- Hey y'all! Just thought I'd give you a little taste to what my novel is like. It's going to have a very paranormal feel to it. Kinda horror/mystery. I don't know. That's how I'd explain it. I'll be back with more later! Hopefully this'll keep you interested enough for now.
