today was just a laid back day. mom and i went shopping for most of the day, and just had our girls day. of course, it was more of the beginning of our girls weekend. tomorrow, we're driving to Clover and back, and we'll see my brother and my sister in law. i'm excited about this, as Andrew has finally come to realize he needs help. then, sunday, i should be hanging with one of my friends, and then Mom will be taking me out to drive:D monday starts my drivers ed in car for the week. if i do well, i can get my permit when i turn 15. also, tuesday starts band camp! i'm excited about it.

but, sadly, because i was out all day, i have yet to write. this is the first time i've written all day, and it's my blog:does not count. but tomorrow in my six hours in the car, i'll be reading Just Listen by Sarah Dessen, and writing my story that Becky wants me to give her for her birthday. and even though i feel the urge to write some, i can't because i've got to wake up early and i love sleep.

i'm currently talking to one of my old close guy friends from freshman year. he got mad at me about stuff i did and we just stopped being friends cause we fought alot. but now, band camps coming up, and we'll be great friends--or at least good friends. hopefully. wish me luckk.

well, night everyone<33

The past two days have been quite successful. Yesterday i wrote for seven hours straight, and today five hour straight. And within these twelve hours, i wrote, edited, wrote more, and finished my short story, which is called Family Before Lovers. I'll probably post it on my fanfiction soon, if i decided to not actually write it out. Krysta says i should wait until after the contest closes, which is August 30th, so i'll probably think about it as time goes by. i feel more confident about this entree than my two from the first contest. since April, i've grown in writing, i've gotten a lot better. but, of course, i could always be better. but for a fourteen year old, i think i'm pretty good.

this week is my last week of summer. and if i'm not hanging out with friends, i'll be writing. i have to finish at least two more stories to complete one of the two goals left on my list to do before my birthday. and once band camp starts, i'll be too busy. plus, next week, i take in car drivers ed. of course, i guarentee i won't be able two finish My New Life and Through These Eyes(story) by Monday. but the way i've been writing, i could probably finish My New Life by then. i know what i want to happen, and i know how i want it to end. i just need to get there. and i will. TTE, i know somewhat what i want to happen, but i haven't fully decided yet. I scrapped My Life In Reverse since i had no where to go on it. and i'm think about scrapping I Miss You, even though i know what i want to happen and everything. I'm just stuck when it comes to writing it. But i'll figure out what i want to do.

i'm so ready for school to start. i'm so ready for the new year, to be a better student, to get better grades. i mean, don't get me wrong, i'm an A-B student, with two C's, and my GPA's 3.75 but i could do so much better. and i will this year. i'm going to make sure i do well this year. i'm actually going to study this year. haha.

that's all for now(:

I'm over at Becky's, what a surprise :P the beach was SO much fun and now, this week, starts my last full week of summer vacation. next wednesday-friday starts the first week of band camp, and there goes my summer, technically. but it's worth it, i supposed. band camp's always fun. last year was pretty fun, but i'm hoping this year will be better &i do pinkypromise you when i get home(probably tomorrow) i'll upload my pictures (:

over the trip, i wrote A LOT! and im now uploading them to fanfiction. a lot of stuff happened in My New Life in the past three chapters that i wrote. i didn't know i had it in me. (: i still have to write my story for the new short story contest that the same place is holding. it has to start with "It was cute until..." and i have a great idea. i'm hoping i do good in this one, too. at least make the finals. i have until august 30th, my birthday. so maybe this one will be good luck, then.

i'm currently not aware of what to write, so i shall come back tomorrow with my pictures(:

in spir a tion

and i'm home alone until tomorrow. well, with out friends i mean. Kaleigh and Savannah are coming over tomorrow, and we're gonna practice guard, and make some tshirts for us, it should be pretty fun. i'm really hoping this year will be good for guard, and that i'll be close with the girls. it'd make me really happy, haha. tuesday, i have my orthodontist appointment, and then guard practice. at 8:30, when practice is over, i'm gonna pick up Becky, she'll spend the night, and that morning we're going to the beach :D i'm quite excited for this: our cottage is the only one around, right off Shakleford Banks, so we can see the wild horses, and it'll be amazing, just sitting on the beach, tanning, taking pictures with Becky. of course, i might not be able to update until friday when we go to a legitimate hotel, and have internet. but i'll definitely try to, and will post some good pictures eventually (: pinkypromise.

i'm trying to write at least every other day now. like right now, i'm forcing myself to write this blog. i really can't think of much right now. and because of the fact my computers broken, i can't write. i mean, i have my stories on my flash drive, so i might do that, and just ponder, staring at the computer screen, waiting for a dash of inspiration.

i despise that i have no inspiration. it kills me inside. i need to get books more often, that's the problem. i don't read as much as i say i do. but today, i did go to the book store i was talking about. got Love Sick by Jake Coburn, and Charmed Thirds by Megan McCafferty. i'm not sure which one i will read first, probably CT. the reviews seem better for it. haha.

Becky actually read one of my stories that i've only posted one chapter of. i've written through chapter 5 i think, but i don't remember. she told me she wanted me to finish it for her birthday, and that made me think about how the one goal i'm afraid i won't finish before my birthday is to finish three stories. i know i'll finish My New Life, i'm making sure i'm going to finish that one. then Through These Eyes(the book), and so i guess i'll finish What I Though Would Never Happen, just for her. and hopefully by the time i'm done writing it, i'll think of a new title, a shorter one, than that. it wont be fun copy 50+ pages before august 30th, plus finish two more stories that aren't done. and i have band camp soon, too, so that will take up all my time. SO STRESSED :/

so, i'm going to wrap this up. an hour + should give me enough inspiration to finish writing chapter five of My New Life. hopefully. once i finish all these books i'm still writing, all like four or five of them, i'm only going to write one, maybe two, at a time from now on--not five! remind me? thanks (:

here i am, watching "Sleepover" with my friend Becky. i'm on her laptop, since my computer broke, and i asked her too. then she started looking at all my books and asked about Sarah Dessen, one of my favorite authors. then i looked up her website, and basically read everything on her website. and now i'm writing this blog. haha.

reading all the stuff on her website made me aspire even more to be an author. and i hate that i'm only 14 and have no chance right now, really. but i can get over it, and just keep trying. i'm sure one day when i'm older and more of an experienced writer, i'll be published. i just have to keep thinking that (:

i'm currently working on my live journal, in which i'll probably copy and paste most of this on there. except this paragraph. haha.

after this movies over, i'm probably going to go to the park with Becky and take some pictures. i lovelovelove taking pictures! whether its pictures of me, friends, me and friends, or photography, i love it. it makes me happy!

and last but not least, i've had absolutely NO inspiration for writing, but i'm in the middle of writing two chapters, one of Through These Eyes(the book) and My World. of course, it doesn't help that my computer broke last night. I just need to go to the book store downtown and get a new book or two, and i'll be great. like i wrote in one of my past entries, hopefully one day i'll be able to sit in front of a computer for 2+ hours and write every day, like how Sarah Dessen, Nicholas Sparks, and Lisi Harrison(my favorites) do. the other day, Becky and I were in a coffee shop in downtown Apex and were commenting on how cool it'd be to bring a laptop here and write stories while drinking coffee, eating a bagel, etc. i'm excited for the future, but also scared out of my mind. but i guess it's all for the best.

so, i only two and a half weeks left of summer because come August, band camp starts(: i'm actually REALLY excited about it because it means schools coming up soon, and that means my birthdays soon. about a month and a half(: but i'm just excited for school this year. this summer, i've definitely changed a lot, and i also want to do better in school this year. i mean, it's not like i did bad freshman year, my GPA was 3.75, but i could do better. last year just was horrible for me and i let it effect my schoolwork. if i tried, i could've gotten a B in my science class, but i didn't. i got like an 83, but still. every point counts, right? i'm just stressing about it because i want to be the one person in my family that goes to college, and my family doesn't have money for it. so, yeah. haha. i'm also excited for my writing classes, and yearbook(: haha. this summers been great though, and i don't want that to end, but i'm ready for school. i actually like school, i just don't like waking up at 5:30am. haha.

thanks for reading(:
