The End of April

So, it's almost the end of April. And surprisingly, I am right on par with my Script Frenzy page count. Man, it was hard, though. I seriously considered quitting back when I was 18 pages behind. But I really needed to win some writing thing because my work has been going through a dry spell as far as recognition goes. So, I sat down one Monday and wrote for a couple hours, right through a episode of Gossip Girl. Then on a Saturday, I sat down for another few hours and wrote some more. Now, I'm finally back to where I should be and the end is almost near. "To be or not to be: That is the question." I chose to be a writer, and not to be a quitter.
I'll be checking in soon! :P

Busy

It's been a busy week. I'm officially 12.5 pages behind on Script Frenzy, but I hope to catch up this weekend. Grrrr I just found out about a contest hosted by Polyphony HS but the submissions were due today. However, they do have information about becoming a "First Reader", or basically an editor, which I probably will look more into next year. I must add their link, too. Polyphony HS is a great literary magazine for high schoolers and edited completely by high schoolers. Too late to submit now, but check their website later to submit. You can't read any of the magazine online, but you can buy an issue for 10 dollars. http://www.polyphonyhs.com/
Alright, talk to you later!

By Design

Hope Script Frenzy is going well for everyone! I started today with 6 pages, now I'm at 11, and I have to get to 21 to catch up with today's word count. It shouldn't be too hard though. This week has just been kind of crazy with homework and skating and stuff. And I'm studying to get my permit next month.

Anyways, so I saw an ad in a magazine for a magazine. Hahahah it basically said that film did not destroy the radio, tv did not destroy film, and internet should not destroy magazines. They mentioned that "Internet grabs you. Magazines embrace you." I found that so true. One thing I definitely love about magazines are the layouts are better. The designs give it a certain tone, whether it's Seventeen's handwritten tidbits about certain products or Sports Illustrated big pictures and strong, bold font. Internet doesn't have that same feel. What do you think?

Ready to Roll

So, I'm back from vacation. My family hit South Carolina for Spring Break this year. We stopped by UNC and Duke on the way there, and I am in love with UNC. The campus is beautiful. The restaurants are good. There were lots of kids just sitting around or walking around outside. I'm definitely going to consider going there.

I didn't get a chance to start my Script Frenzy until today, but so far so good. I've sort of caught up with my page count. Though I really need to work on silencing my inner editor. Plus, I'm getting paid to edit my step dad's medical book chapter. It's hard stuff to read, but once you get all the fancy words out of the way, there are still nouns and verbs and problems with agreement and parallel structure and comas.

Signing out.
