My Captain on his snowy horse
is coming back to take me home.
We're finally fighting back a terrible force
'cause I'm not afraid to die alone...

Hello Again :)

This ought to be short since it's getting a little late over here. Not much to say tonight.

Two of my new favorite songs: Yacht Club, by Owl City; and Slice, by Five for Fighting. Slice is, I think, a reply to a song called American Pie, which was written about this rock-n-roll band, three of which died in a plane crash. It's a catchy song but the meaning is kind of complicated and weird so I don't think about it overly much.

At any rate. As usual, I have like, four novels going, two of which are in the editing process and the others still being drafted. One I've just barely started, because I was bored in English. (Ironic, isn't it?) It's a little strange and I haven't the faintest idea where it's going, but that's cool; I write by the seat of my pants. The storyline is sort of evolving as I set up the main character and the setting. (Which is taking an astoundingly long time, but like I said, I write by the seat of my pants. The stories write themselves and I'm just sort of pulled along for the ride, you know?)

It's set after World War III, in a highly technologically advanced time. The main, a fifteen-year-old (of course), has turned into a juvenile delinquent after having her house explode and both her parents die. I'm not far in right now; she's just being taken to a detention center in the mountains of Utah. And I suppose we'll see where it goes from there, right?

I need to go to sleep now, so I'm going to end this extremely short post. I will be seeing you all... later. :D

  1. Nice, I like the time setting. And there are actually delinquent centers in the mountains of Utah- Lindsey Lohan has attended several times...maybe you knew they exist already...
    How is Max? When can I read her story??? :)

  2. Yeah, I've actually read a book about that... called The Maze. It was a good book:) And Max is currently being ignored because I'm trying to build up the motivation to go through her story and edit it. So it could be a little while:) A year or two. I'll get it done as soon as I can, then you can read it!
