Hey all!

The school holidays are finally upon us! No more homework, or rules! I am sooo happy. If you saw my last post you would have seen that the education system and I are in the middle of a... um... dispute. Well now that it's the holidays I don't have to worry about it anymore! I finally have time to write my book! I used to try to write my book as much as I could after school, but it was hard to find the time between IMing friends and doing homework, but now I have plenty of time to write my book! I'm trying to spend whole days writing in it. But it is hard to find the time and I get easily distracted. The other thing that annoys me is that you're not always in the mood to write, so, for example (this definitely didn't happen to me.), say you set out a whole day to write in your book, and you set everything up and then you... are stumped! A whole day was set out and all you only got done 2 pages! Sad. :( It's just that sometimes the ideas roll out of you and the words just flow and you get a whole chapter done in an hour, while others days it takes you a whole hour to write one sentence. The bad thing is that I get most of my awesome ideas while I'm in bed, and I practically write a whole chapter in my head. But then I wake up in the morning the idea has gone poof!If anyone has any ways to help me please leave a comment and tell me. I was browsing the web for tips on writing books and I found a tip by Stephanie Meyer, the author of the 'Twilight' series. The tip was 'Stuff order. Write what part interests you, then connect the dots later'. OK maybe that's not the exact words she used but that's the gist of it. I'm going to try that. I'll tell you if it works out on my next post.

A few people have asked me some questions so I'm going to answer them now. One person asked me if I write or type, well I'm a big typer! I like writing by hand but this is a pretty big book and my hand is going to get soooo tired if I wrote the whole thing by hand. Thanks for asking! If anyone else has a question please ask away, I will almost defiantly answer it.

Some of you may notice that I have re-started the poll 'Who is your favourite goddess?' All your previous votes have been erased, sorry. It was going a bit hay-wire, but it's working smoothly now. Please re-vote and I'm really sorry about it.

I want to get as many people as I can reading my blog and becoming a follower. Please tell your friends about it, and please become a follower if you're not already. Some people have asked how the become a follower, well first of all make sure you have a Goggle, Yahoo or Gmail account, then go near the bottom of my blog (around the second post)and on the right there should be a button that says 'Follow' click on it and follow the prompts on screen.

Please vote in the poll, leave a comment or become a follower(instructions above).
Gotta go, so much to write so little time...
