Happy New Year...almost!

Yes, I know, it's New Year's Eve, not actually the new year yet...but close enough.

I just wanted to make a post letting you know what's going on. As much as I've been working constantly at Promises, there will sadly be no new chapter due to both technical difficulties and lack of time. I'm hoping (and will) have a new chapter up soon, since here's what I've been working on.

After I finished my notes from "40 Days" I've been re-writing them and going through them into a new notebook dedicated just to Promises things. From there I'll take all of my notes from my other journal and organize those in the notebook as well, and then as I write Promises I've been taking notes from each chapter. Once I have the notebook organized (today sometime hopefully) I will begin to outline the rest of the story, just to make sure that I keep everything organized.

Now, this wasn't, obviously, my initial plan, but after rereading "40 Days" I made a lot of decisions on what I could do better as far as my writing goes. There are, honestly, a lot of things I really hate about "40 Days" and maybe someday I'll rewrite it so that the entire storyline makes more sense. But for now, it's going to stay as is. Because of those things, I want to make sure that I do a lot more proof reading and planning for Promises, because I certainly don't want it to end up the same way, and although there are already a couple of things in Promises I'd like to change, that too will stay as is, other than my minor editing as I go through piece by piece.

So for me there's a lot of planning, and I honestly don't have a lot of time at the moment, due to other things such as the start of my 2013 project, my other blog Everyday Disney, which I'm sure I already talked about. I also have a lot to do with Band coming up and College Plans, as well as Musical starting. While I will try my best to continue bringing regular updates to the story, Sadly, I can no longer do weekly chapters...at least at the moment. Hopefully in the future though!

I am setting aside a good hour each night to work on Promises, and hopefully I will be back to my regular posting soon. I will still be posting here on this blog regularly though, so keep an eye out. I'm also in the pre-planning for another chapter of Repairs, but have no idea when that will be appearing either.

I feel like this blog entry has just been full of bad news! Wow! Terrible terrible me. And so, I do have some great news! Well, for me, but I'm just so excited about it! For Christmas one of my really good friends got me an Empire Strikes Back Poster...and we just hung it last night over my desk. I also got the Complete Making of The Empire Strikes Back book...so be ready for some funny stories in the future. I've got a great one about the Carbon Freezing scene! You'll never see it the same way again! So here's a picture of my poster, and I wish you all a bright, happy, fun, amazing, magical and Star Wars filled New Year!
