Which Way??

    [Some] Rules of Writing:
1.  Complete an idea before you start another.
2.  Press forward - try not to waste time erasing and starting something over.*
3.  Make note of any and all ideas pertaining to the plot.
4.  Don't use the all the ideas you write down for one story.
5.  Read, reread, and triple-read after each chapter to catch anything you want change.
6.  Listen to any and all advice - this does not mean do everything they tell you, but listen to them.

    * Backing up and erasing: something I've refrained from doing. Well, you have to break your own rules once in a while, yes? Yes; and that's exactly what I did. I erased four chapters and started a different idea, and so far, so good! Haha, I hardly ever do this - but I could either have just kept going with the original idea; or I could back up then go forward :) I might have to do this again later, haha.

All the Time

    So I get to school and can only think about Lade. I'm sitting in honors biology and catch myself thinking that Lade should do this; this can happen to so and so; Gabe can say this--ahhh!! It's so frustrating when that's all you think about: your book. What to take out, what to add on. Urg!
    Haha, it's good when you think about your book all the time, right?  
    Or is it obsession? I'm not quite sure myself, but I'm going to say for right now, it's good :)
