It's Happening
I have finally gotten serious about my writing. I haven't been this active as a writer since I was in seventh grade, trying to chug out my first ever novel (I think I still have the first four chapters of the worst ever written novel in existence). It's a good feeling, knowing that I'm back to writing. I've written two chapters in my novel recently as well as planned minor tweaks to the currently existing seven chapters. I've written a general history of what goes on before my novel, and I've written a political history of what leads up to it. I've started to create character portfolios that help with what's going on the novel. I've given my characters families, which adds a whole new level to the story. And best of all I've started a small sketch (that will not be in the novel) of a scene that will take place between Iolana and her father. I'm really excited to finish this book and start working on other books to begin and end the series that my novel takes place in the center of. I can finally see why J.R.R. Tolkien focused most of his books on Middle Earth. Once you've created a world that fascinates you as a writer as much as you hope it will fascinate your readers you don't ever want to give that world up. So keep your eyes open for a new best selling series that will come along in future years. It'll probably have been written by your's truly.

Write faster! I'm excited! :D
I know what you mean. I love my current story, but I think our telepathy is messing up again, because I noticed some strains of some of your ideas in my own story, and I'm not sure that we were even aware of the other person writing anything remotely like that...weird, huh?
Keep it up!
I'm trying to write faster, I'm super excited about where this is going, I've never felt so good about a piece of my work.
Crazy that we have some of the same ideas though. That should make writing the first novel in my series easier though, since we did plan to write it together. I doubt Apollo and Kaelen really want to write it anymore, so I think it's up to us. Kaelen seems totally disintersted, and Apollo's to caught up in her sitcom. We need to ask one last time, then get ahold of the story and the discussion notebooks, and get to work. It's gonna be great.
