GOOD EVENING PENANA STADIUM! I am officially on my fall reading week, and I have never felt more alive!!! This past week has definitely been stressful, and the stress kind of just ended today when I had to hand in a 13-page lab report that was torturous, but now that I'm done that, I can actually focus on what I want to do: writing babeee lesgooo.
I did say in my last blog post that I would possibly update on how my midterms went and I guess they were pretty good, I mean I don't have my marks back yet soooo I may have actually failed them but who knows :D. But they were for my two hardest courses, inorganic chemistry and analytical chemistry so I guess I'm just kind of glad that they're over and done with so I can relax for the next five days.
Something else that's unrelated to my actual writing is that I'm turning 19 in 2 days!!! Well, less than two days because it's pretty much almost midnight already but I digress. I find it kind of crazy that I started writing my main story at the same age as them pretty much (17) and now here I am, two years older while they're all the same age (so far, because in later chapters some of them turn 18 so stay tuned? I guess? lol). 19 may not be a pretty big milestone in most countries but in Canada, it means I'm allowed to legally drink! woo! Despite me writing about it, I do not partake in underage drinking lmaooo so this will be my actual first time kind of trying out alcohol. I hate the taste though, so I know I'm not gonna be chugging anything or doing crazy stuff :P
Obviously, because I was focusing on my academics my progress for AE and CS (yeah I haven't forgotten about that story don't worry) has remained the same since my last update. But I will be updating AE with a brand new chapter soon, most likely right after posting this!! I know it's difficult to choose between the things you enjoy and the things that are necessary, especially with school, but I know that my school is to help with my career in the long run. I could have gone to school for an English/ creating writing degree, but at the same time, I feel like things as hobbies are better as hobbies for me because I can never feel passion for something I feel like I'm being forced to do, yknow? Of course, that can be completely different for others, but at the end of the day, I do enjoy the career I want to go into and am also happy that I not only have that going for me in my life, but have something I can work on, on the side. 279Please respect copyright.PENANAGJobUwtteh
But I'm kind of excited to get back into writing right now. I see this blog post as a warmup to get my creative mind flowing before I dive straight into the middle of chapter 18. I am kind of stumped though, because I feel like I need to do some reassessment of character motivations and just a few characters in general. One of my biggest fears in writing is a character feeling flat or having no importance in the story, so I have to make sure what they want is apparent and makes sense. I don't think I'll give away who I'm talking about specifically in AE because I don't want my readers to become blindsided to this now that I've said it LOL, but I think its an important aspect of writing realistic and fleshed-out characters.
I guess this is a kind of short blog post, but I'm just eager to get back to writing :))) Oh, I almost forgot, the song I'm listening to is Chinese Satellite by Phoebe Bridgers because she's such a fall artist in my eyes :D I <3 fall so much, and not just because I was born in fall! I'm gonna be honest, I kind of miss writing the story and describing the fall scenery because right now in AE it's literally February/ March :/. Anyways, hope everyone is enjoying their fall! 279Please respect copyright.PENANAGOFUqCuvW2
