I've been busy.
I've been doing horrible things called GCSEs.
I've had no time to update this blog ... not that there are many — or any, to my knowledge — that are keeping track of these posts. But if there are any of you that are, this is why I've been away.
Brilliant! So let's move on from that; let's talk about the book progress.
Because you've all been keeping track of this like a faithful servant does keep track of the dirt collecting up in their master's house so they know what to clean up later (that was a long one, and also very implasable. Surely a servant would just go to the house one day and see all of the dirt and collect it up there and then instead of waiting through the whole week, keeping track of it as it all builds up until it comes to Monday so they have to clean it? Maybe not. That's how I'd do it, anyway. Keeping track?), you would all know that I made a resolution (but resolutions are really for more self improvement rather than challenges set by one's self) to write at least one publishable-sized book of 80,000 words. (See? We got there in the end.)
Progress on this book came to a halt because of the exams, which I am sure you many readers guessed.
But now, I'm very sad to admit, I've lost my love I had for this story.
You see, it's just that I've come up with another story I'm so desperate to write now which is a sci-fi (my favourite) and I think I've spent too much time thinking about it.
It's not like I have writer's block on the other story, no, I have the whole plot of that written out and I do think it has a rather exciting ending — it's just that I don't feel that want to write it right now. Which hopefully suggests that this'll pass and then I'll get back to writing again.
Maybe it's because I've done all these exams I just feel like relaxing for a bit. In my mind, that would make sense.
You know what? What am I saying! I'm sure this'll pass, and in the morning I'll be writing it again and all will be well.
BUT I just don't know if I want this to be the first book I write ... I feel like this sci-fi one will be a better beginning and introduction to what I can write. But I want to finish it, but I don't want to release it straight away, and if I hold it back I'll feel bad because I would have teased you about it for so long now.
Aw, hell, there are like two of you here anyway, you guys would be willing to wait, right? Yeaaaah ...
How about I tell you its name? Would you like that? Alright, here we go.
