Writing Groove

My Mood:  – Happy

I’m back in my writing groove!  I’m loving this, cuz I’m actualyu working on two different novels.  One is Our Strange Duet, the one that got rejected and that I’m rewriting, and the other is I’ve Just Seen A Face, the first one in my Ivy series.  Basically, I’m just rewriting that one and adding in some more stuff, making a few things make more sense, and changing a few things at the end of it.  I love writing this one, because literally, from the original notebook where it’s written, (well, original three notebooks,) I can see the very essence of who I was when I was fifteen.  And I love that, because in a very real sense, that’s not who I am anymore.  I’ve changed too much.  I wish I’d written out in novel form what happened to me my junior year.  Some of what happened my senior year is recorded in novel segments, but it’s not everything.

I’m adding more semi-facts into the first novel.  I’m making the true grades of everyone instead of changing them to being either Ivy’s grade or higher.  And I’m gonna add Ivy and Leslie going to the carnival where Ivy meets Kari.  Then, once school starts, Ivy and Kari meet again and that’s when Shana is introduced.

This is confusing.  I swear, if I hadn’t lived it, I would get so lost . . .  These novels are definitely going to be my Tolkien ones, though.  They’re complicated enough, that’s for sure.    But I’ve got notes.  I’ll figure it all out.  I tink the most annoying thing is how many entries I lost out of here over the summer.  But I’ve even got a solution for that.  The end ofthe novel before is going to be the Strawberry Festival, and Ivy saying that things with Justin aren’t over.  Not yet.  The start of the next novel will be Ivy writing down what entries she remembers and then explaining about the hacker attack on the diary page.

I do know I’m gonna want to end the series, but I’m not sure where.  Maybe when I make it up to tht point, I’ll know.  Or I’ll just make something up.  ::Shrugs::  I don’t know.  I’ll figure out something.  I can;t wait to write more.  I’m gonna go back to it, but I just wanted to get something down in here.

Bye!    I’m back to the drawing board.  Or… drawing laptop.
