Fat Amber, The Color Red, and Chapter 8

So, I took a shower tonight (I know, it's been a while... a whole 14 hours!) and I put on my pajama shorts and I noticed that I fill them out. And no, I don't just fill them out more, I fill them out period.

And I'm not talking about my butt, because we all know I have a ghetto booty (sorry family), but this time I'm talking about my legs... They're no longer sticks connected to my feet. They're legs!!! Yay! I'm finally growing up!

Another thing, that's less awkward, that I noticed is that with this new hair color, I can finally wear Red or pink and not clash with it!!! I think I might just have to go buy a pink dress for some occasion I make up.

On to editing. I have edited up to Chapter 8: Forgiveness. I'm not sure about the chapter names yet, but I don't think I'll change them too much. I know I definitely want names, rather than just numbers. Not as personal.

Anyway, I like the way it's going, although I really need to add some more. So far I'm ahead of schedule, so if I get the opportunity, I will be able to go back through and add more before Christmas. I know I want it to be good before anyone reads it, but I don't want to extend my deadline I set myself for something small. I think I've gotten all the big things in, and if I forget something, especially if it has to do with the next book, then I'll add it in the next book.

I've already recruited Jonathan (my self-proclaimed muse that gets 10% of earnings) to research some neat stuff that happened locally. It will tie into my Ghost Whisper theme perfectly. And I think I know how to tie it into my other paranormals in my book.

I'm almost done with my two writing classes and I signed up for two others. Advanced fiction Writing and Writing Romance. I know, I know... Romance?? But I want to see if I can capture the tension, whether it be love or sexual tension that so many romance novels have. I want to incorporate it into my books. Now I don't know if I could write the romance novels... just seems so embarrassing to me... so for now, I'll stick to Young Adult, Paranormal, and Science Fiction/Fantasy love stories.

Alrighty mighty tighty whitey, I need to get to work. My second job that hasn't paid yet is waiting and I need to work on getting my first check from it. So I will hopefully finish editing two chapters tonight, and maybe another one or two tomorrow! Man, I hope it's good.
