An Update.

Oh my, its been a while since I last posted. I don't think anyone here even looks at my blog now-a-days.

But anyway, I've been procrastinating so much lately. I haven't written anything at all, and I haven't even thought about NaNo.

But, I promise I will be back on track this week. Expect a new "What I Read Wednesday" this week (I know, I know - I haven't done that in forever) and maybe even a writing update.

I'll also do my best to follow you all. Please leave a comment with your blog if you'd like to be followed.

Thanks everyone! Have a great and productive week.

Procrastination is my third hobby.

But I guess all writers have to do it in order to succeed, right? Or is it just me?

I've been neglecting my WiP lately. I really haven't written anything in about two to three weeks. I haven't even touched the notebook I'm writing it in, or the computer file. But, I have an excuse!

Oh no, you wonder. What is it this time, Isabella?

Blame it on middle school! School has eaten me alive, seriously. Its really just the pressure of the first few weeks or so, when you're desperately trying to get organized and into the mix again. I solemnly swore to myself that I would write more after I finished this post. Well, after I finish my English project, which is due on Wednesday...

I have, however, been thinking a lot about my NaNo novel, The London Eye. (read about it here.) I know NaNo isn't for another two months or so, but hey - it won't hurt to get excited. I've also been thinking of my current WiP as well.

It is still nameless, and I'm making no progress on names... Anyone care to help out? Read the (temporary) pitch here and give me some suggestions!

I've also thought about holding a blogfest - at least, once I get more followers. But, I was thinking of making it about your current WiP's "soundtrack", if it was to be made into a movie. Someone hasn't already thought of that... Right?

This weekend, I promise I'll get on track. I'll write as much as I can, especially tonight - Andrea and I are going to attempt to pull another all-nighter. I also need to finish The Diary of Anne Frank (still haven't finished!), reading more Campaign blogs and working on looking through the three book order catalogues one of my teachers handed out... Looks like I'll be spending quite a bit for some new books. [:

What are your weekend writing plans or goals? Anything new with your WiP (unlike mine... yet)?

I'm loved more, when I'm not here.

Its a fact. Seriously.

Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the positive comments on my Campaign piece. I'm honestly glad a lot of you liked it. I've also been chosen as one of the judges' favorites pieces, and it will move on to the next round of judging! I know it might not really last, but its my first time - this is too exciting.
Also, thank you so much for following my blog. 13 followers isn't much, but I'm glad you guys can take the time out of your busy schedules to follow, read and comment on my posts.

I haven't worked on my WiP like I planned on this weekend, but I am going to work on it Tuesday if its the last thing I do. I am on page 187 out of 283 of The Diary of Anne Frank by Anne Frank. I haven't made progress but I will soon, just you wait and see. (Hey, that's the name of a song!)

I was at Staples on Thursday, going back to school shopping, and I saw the most adorable journal. Of course, I had to buy it (I have an obsession with journals and I collect them. I'll write a post about my collection sometime.) and I'm going to share it with you all.

Do you guys like it? Its focused on traveling, which I absolutely adore. I bought it because it really reminded me on this upcoming project of mine, The London Eye. Read about it here.

Might I add that I am stoked for NaNo now - not only is my good friend Josie participating in it, but I found out that this girl in my classes (a new friend of mine), Sara, is participating in it too! I'm not a loner in class anymore, and I have someone to talk to (about writing) in gym. [:

Anyway, that's the latest news on myself. I'm going to head out to bed now, good night. By the way, if you followed, expect a new follower and a comment on your blog in the coming week... Its not going to be from me or anything, but who knows!

PS: Today is the 10 year of the Twin Tower attacks in New York. My prayers go out to the families affected and the innocent lives lost. They may be gone, but never forgotten.

I must stop procrastinating!

I have only a week left of summer.

Well, technically, summer doesn't end until September 20th or something, but I start school on the 7th.

Anyway, I have tons to do before the 7th. I didn't complete my summer goals and I am nowhere near completing them.

First of all, I still have some extra math work I had to do over the three-month break (curse my old math teacher) and I'm not done with it yet - I still have about five pages to go? I promised myself I would finish it by the first week of August. That sure failed.

Secondly, I told myself I would complete the first draft of my current WiP (still untitled) by now, since it is the last day of August (or the first day of September, if you're on the east coast), and I am nowhere near finishing. I'm not even halfway done!

Finally, I thought I would get through reading all the books on my TBR list and also get through all the other books I own. I still have two more books to read from my list and I haven't even touched my other books.

What have I been doing all summer? I honestly don't remember.

Anyways, I got my school schedule today. I'm pretty bummed, too, because I have no classes with two of my best friends, Andrea and Merna. As for my other friends? They still haven't called or texted me back.

On a lighter note, I did manage to get theater for my elective. Basically, in theater we get to practice our acting and screenwriting skills, not to mention we get to act out our plays in front of the other classes.

Anyways, I have not read at all today, but I'll attempt to read more tonight. I'll get around to following everyone from the Campaign first thing tomorrow. I promise.
