I was digging through a closet looking for a box of photographs but instead found about a dozen old notebooks filled with bits and pieces of stories, some going back as far as college.
God, they’re bad. LOL
I was hoping that maybe there’d be something that I could use now, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do with a story about a girl who was born in a primitive village cut off from the world… in Hawaii. I’m embarrassed. But at least I never gave up. At least I evolved.
So, now I have another huge stack of notebooks to deal with. No, I don’t throw them away. Who knows, maybe a hundred years down the road someone will find them and they’ll be worth a lot of money, because I’ll be a famous writer before I die.

I’ve been working steadily on my short story. I’m past the halfway mark (and thinking this could be longer than 12K) but I think I’m going to go back to my old schedule of writing new stuff in the morning and editing in the afternoon. I have my NaNo project that needs A LOT of work (I added characters in halfway through, changed my timeline and dropped plot ideas along the way). It would be sweet to have another manuscript ready to go. It’s been way too long since I’ve had lots of stories out there. I don’t want to wait another two years between published books.

Has anyone noticed that music videos are disappearing off of YouTube? It’s rather annoying. So, I’ll post my own video for Sweet Forever
Now, if only Samhain would publish the Sweet Forever sequel life would be good!
And if Samhain picks it up, let me know… I’ll build you another trailer 🙂
Hey! Halfway on the short story is excellent!Never throw those notebooks away. You never know what little tidbit you could possibly use.
