New Beginnings and Endings
Ok so you've all probably noticed I've deleted the page for all the information on the novel To Dream truth be told, while I was writing one of the later chapters I noticed that the plot was too "closed" and not challenging enough, so I'm going to combine two favourite fairytales of mine and using them as a basis for the new novel, don't worry I'm still going to use the fan-fictions that inspired the last novel but the difference is the plot, I do hope it works out this time. I am still going to use some of the same characters, so watch out.

Update Time...
Hey...yeah, the deadline has kind of gone out of the window, so we'll probably wait a lot longer before the story becomes live, so I'm really sorry. I'm trying my best to gain enough inspiration to continue.
Anyway, a lot has happened this summer, after Cancun. I went out with the cousins (we are surprisingly close, so don't judge), I went out to lunch with an old friend, I went shopping with my sister and we went fishing last Sunday. Ok so not so much has happened, but I have taken up hand craft projects. Oh and I had managed to finish the cat cross stitch I had been working on for the past three years. Yes I could have finished it in one year, but I had to put it off because of my A Levels and there were points where I couldn't be bothered to continue it. Now I have taken up a crochet project, I'm making an afghan/blanket, and I have two more cross stitch projects lined up. Not to mention I'm starting my second year at university this September, and my family has booked a trip to malaga in the next few weeks. So the novel has had to step back in terms of priority. Who knows I may finish it next year.
So what has happened so far? Well when I went out with my cousins, it was really for a birthday. Originally it was going to be themed, but because of limited resources and poor planning we ended up going to a bar and just drinking and having fun. It was great. I managed to stay somewhat sober, more so than pretty much everyone else, and I didn't fall asleep this time...don't ask. Although I did feel sleepy throughout the night, but I guess it's only because it was late, I'm not used to staying up past midnight. There were a few instances where I had to help someone in the group, for example, my "cousin" was quite sick she was sent out of the bar and I tried to get attention away from her. The next person was my sister, and well I handled that a lot better. Oh and the worst one was my cousin, his drinking lead him to the stage where he was aggressive and angry, and that scared me a lot, because he tried to confront two big guys who were walking to the station behind us, fortunately for us, they understood that he was drunk and tried to calm him down.
The next interesting thing I did was go fishing with my family. That was fun, more fun than the bar actually. I love fishing and I caught two big ones nearly instantly, of course that was all I caught because that was my turn, I had to hand over the rod to my cousins so they could have a go. Then we had a picnic, which well kind of frustrated me, since my dad got a charcoal "instant" grill. The instructions were fairly simple, but the thing was it didn't light very well, it took us hours until we got it starting, but we did eventually get it started, and took a few good photos while we were at it, and I must say the fish I caught was excellent, that it was worth the wait. It was good to see my grandmother and my two baby cousins (even though they're already 7 and 11 I still think them babies) out in the fresh air. I was a bit jealous of the younger one though, he managed to catch five fishes...No one should be that good, especially on their first go!
The other events were just ordinary compared to what I'd described above, I bought some clothes, but mostly I bought fruits for my smoothies, which I haven't had the chance to make, and well, I don't think I'll be making any smoothies any time soon, since I keep forgetting to. So I may just put the smoothie making off for a while, until I get my health routine back on track.
Anyway, that's the story for now, let's be done with that, and I'll see you soon. ^^

Real Procrastination...
Hey, ok so I know it's been a while, but the truth is, I've had to abandon the story for a bit, because I just wasn't feeling up to continue writing about a love that I've never truly experienced. So basically I was kinda hibernating and recovering from my own self-pitying, not to mention things got out of hand the past few weeks...we had a birthday party, a theme park outing, shopping days, lunch days, you name it.
Ok, so far I'm still on chapter 10, and I highly doubt now that I'll finish this story before September, but that's ok, I'm putting the new deadline for Halloween, maybe I'll get it done by then. I've only a few more chapters to go. So you'll be seeing the full thing soon. I'm sorry if things are going slowly now, I've just had to go on that much needed break, or else I'd be crying my eyes out every day because I've been craving for that passion, that completeness from having someone love you like that.
Not to mention I've been getting myself addicted to a few games that really may not be healthy, but hey, who cares? No one actually sees me play those games, except my family. Oh and I've also been busy cleaning up the house, because I've got that much free time on my hands.
Anyway, that's it for now, again sorry it's short I really don't have much to say, because if I do start going on a rampage, things won't be pretty, I can promise you that. So I'll see you all soon (I hope).

Hello Again!
Finally I'm back, I've had to take a two week hiatus, it seems, because a lot of things happened. The first week we were still adjusting to London time (since we were still a little jet lagged), and the second my sister and I visited our cousins (and they visited us).
So in short it's been "busy" not to mention my muse has run away for those two weeks, which wasn't quite that big of a deal, because I think she really needed that holiday. She's come back (finally) and is ready and rearing to go. So you probably won't hear from me, for a little while, because she's pushing me to continue the story.
At the moment, all I can say is that chapter 8 will soon be done and perhaps by the end of the week I'll be done with chapter 10 or so, we'll see, if I'm not distracted, maybe it could happen.
Sorry for the short update, I can't really say anymore on the subject, because I may just be giving everything away. So be good for now. ^^

Update Time - Another Hiatus
Hello everybody! As you can tell from the title, I will be on another hiatus. It seems my muse has left me floundering in the deep, with no raft, and the shore is like three hours away, so I'm going to have to take some more time off to finally swim back to shore. Yes I'm back from holiday, not that you lot care. I've had some great R&R but now it's time to get back to the real world, and well...let's just say, I'm still a bit jet lagged (it's harder to adjust to the time difference when you travel east).
So what happened on holiday? Well I've told you everything important in the last few posts of this blog, but I'll just recall it in this one. On Sunday, as we were still adjusting to the new environment, we went to church, and I could barely understand the mass (it was in Spanish, and no amount of Spanish lessons could have helped). Monday was a day of R&R, we went to the beach, we swam in the pool and bought a few food stuff from Walmart (not that I'm advertising). Tuesday we started to do some real stuff, we went parasailing, and saw the entire coast line of the "Zona Hoteles" of Cancun. It was marvellous (not to mention we were above the sea, so we could see sting rays, turtles and all sorts of stuff that happens at sea.
Wednesday was the best...and possibly the worst. We swam with dolphins, as you know. It was such an epic experience, that I still can't believe I did it, and when I say the worst, it is because, I think I got infected by the pool water the dolphins were in, because I got a rash and noticed it a few hours later, luckily it's not too bad, and with time it will go away, but it was quite annoying. The next day, we went to Xichen Itza, and it was so awesome!! I loved the Mayan culture, and although the hype of 2012 is gone, it was still amazing to learn about the Maya's traditions, like their numerical system and their use of the stars to calculate rain and other stuff. It was eye opening.
Friday was another day of R&R because the next day, Saturday, was the day we set off. Leading me on to the next point. It was such a long day, that day. Our flight left at 7pm (approx.) and my mum was on standby, so we had to wait around six hours to get her booked on the flight. So I was pretty much wasting the battery of my iPad the entire time. When we finally did get on the plane, I didn't sleep like everyone else did, I watched movies the entire flight (not to mention I watched The Hunger Games: Catching Fire for the second time, on the plane). So I pretty much messed up my entire body clock, and when we arrived at Gatwick, I was flagging the entire time. I'm not even sorry for sleeping on the Virgin Crew coach, on our way to Heathrow, to get home. In fact, I didn't sleep until Sunday night, so I pretty much stayed up approximately for 24 hours.
Now, it's just getting used to British time, because I am still fully sleeping at around 2am, and waking up at 11am. Of course today is different. Today I was woken up at 9:30am, because we are getting our windows replaced. FINALLY!!!! Our double glazed windows are old, and so now our dad has finally got them to be changed. So I had to get up early to ease his mind, these are strange men, and we don't know what they're capable of, so my sister and I are lookouts for the day.
That's it for now. I'll get back to all of you when I do finally get back on track with the story. So over and out. ^^
