Running Out Of Ink

I'm still going strong with this and I have a really good feeling that I may one day finish. I'm trying to make myself write at least a page a day and so far I've been really good with actually doing that. It may take me a bit before I start writing but once I do I find it easy to keep going for a while. Things are falling into place much better and as I make it further through Twilight the easier it is to come up with new material. Though I've decided that I won't write another book on this after this one. I'd like to move on and do something different. Though there is a certain fantasy book series that I hear is terrible that I might be tempted to do as I'm a big fantasy fan. But that all depends if I actually finish this.

I've ended up renaming some characters already and will likely rename others as I go on. But I know I'm sticking to the name for the lead character, Samantha Yure, or Sam Yure for the anagram to work.

BiTe ME continues to be the only original story that I've made any progress with. I can already look at parts of it and know I'm going to have to do some complete rewrites in parts. But that's to be expected as I'm jumping around a lot, though I have settled a bit on the first two chapters so things are looking good. I even got ahead of myself and made a cover for the book, which I also made an icon version of that I'm using for this post.

As this doesn't have a specific word count I'm going for, other than enough to fill the amount of pages needed to print it as a book, I'm going to do the progress report a little differently. Still going to keep the word count but I'm also posting what the content page of the book looks like too.

About the Author pg. 17


In other news, kinda writing related, I'm doing a class over the summer that begins next week. I don't think I'll be doing much recreational writing during that time as it's a quarter worth of material quashed into four weeks. But I'll a couple of months of not doing anything before classes begin in the fall so I'll try to focus on writing then.

Yes, I have begun yet another book, but unlike the rest this is a one shot and I'm not trying for novel length so it can be done whenever I feel I've written all there needs to be written for it. It's taken the top spot for everything I'm writing for now and I've even gone so far as making a badly photo shopped cover for it. I'll probably share that later, like the next time I remember it has been forever since I've updated on JF.

If you can't tell from the title this is meant to be a parody, for me it's a way to save my mind while trying to read the dreck that is Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. I find the story and characters just full of fail so far and I'm only about 50 pages in to what is 325 pages long. I doubt BiTe ME is going to be that long. Maybe if I changed the print size it could be... But I regress. My parody is just my way of poking fun at it and just be silly with it. It is rather devoid of any plot, even after 2,000 words and I don't see it getting any better. But seeing what my inspiration is it's probably not that surprising. But it has vampires and werewolves and a special snowflake heroine and takes place in Washington State and mosquitoes rule, yo. Srzly, they do.
