So... I'm not sure what to write today. I think of things all day, but when I finally sit down to write, I have nothing to say.

Well, I should pay more attention to what I say. Just because I think something does not mean I should say it, right? I know the answer to that. Maybe I am lacking this judgement because my frontal lobe is not fully developed. Maybe I say certain thoughts out loud because I have been bottling things up inside. Oh well. This isn't a blog about feelings anyway.

I wrote a play! It is the first play I have ever written. I hope to write more. I've written a scene before, for drama class. Although it is a sappy love story, I think it is really good. I like the play I finished - it is also a love story, but it's more comedic. I've been working on my short stories lately as well. I have yet to finish one, but I have a dream in my head of everything I hope to accomplish in the next few years. I will possibly write about my hopes and dreams some other time...? Haha.

Changes

So... I'm going to graduate earlier than I had planned, which means... I'm not sure when I will ever finish my story. Truthfully, I haven't worked on it at all in quite some time. Right now, I'm writing a play. That's all I'm going to say.

Next semester, I'm going to take 7 classes, including Creative Writing (I'm excited). I'm also planning on playing tennis (I will at least try :P heehee) and looking for a job. I'm thinking Barnes and Noble. I love books. They smell wonderful, most of them are filled with beautiful words, and they are always there to provide an escape to foreign lands and other time periods. In the meantime, I will be working on short stories. My mom has encouraged me to write short stories and send them to magazines to see if I can get published. I have a really good story idea brewing! I started writing it last night. Anyway, the remainder of my junior year will consist of work and possibly some fun (I'm not counting on it). As far as writing a book goes, I'm not exactly putting it off, I'm just considering it as a low priority.

That's all for now.

Starting Over

Today I decided that I will use my blog to share my writing. I love writing, so I decided that when I write a good essay or story, I will post it here. Sometimes I write about people, but I try not to use real names, unless it is for school. So, don't get mad at me if you see a post about you :). You should feel special anyway heehee. A couple months ago I began writing a story about a skater girl who lives in a broken home, but later gets saved again. I probably won't post that here, but I'll let you follow along with my journey to publishing it! My goal is to publish a book before I graduate high school. I just began my junior year, so the countdown has begun! I better get to work! First, I must finish doing my laundry haha. Thanks for reading :)

Love,

Natalie
