Time and Decisions

So, I'm sitting here watching my little baby and thinking of new developments in my life. I love the direction my life is taking but for right now, it's interfering with my writing. I'm rebuilding a relationship that's very important to me, and I'm seeing that since it's taking up alot of mind space, my writing is suffering at the hands of it.

Also, being that my child is getting older, she's becoming more active and that's also tearing my attention away from my writing. It's a very annoying struggle because I'm seeing I might have to find a way to divide time between running after my soon to be nine month old daughter, and writing. I really want to revamp the original novels I have for publishing but it's going to take some real time and work. That in itself is making me want to tear my hair out.

Also, the remaining stories on ASR (Allstar Revamped--fanfiction forum) haven't been updated since my computer went down. While I loved writing and getting positive feedback for my work, at the same token like Cash stated in her newsletter, ASR isn't the best place for a serious writer to really bloom the way she might want to. However, I can't knock ASR for it's entertainment value. You'll almost never be bored. I think I've lost the want to update the stories on their as well. I'm stuck between wanting to update, and wanting to squash all unfinished stories that I haven't penned down. The only one I might update is Real, since I've already written the whole entire thing anyway. That and Shameless Pride. If I rewrite the second one, it must be when things in my life are going at a slow pace. I'm very unsure of where my life is going so for now, I'm trying to step backwards to evaluate what I'm going to do as far as those stories I don't see getting published.

Aside from that, I'm excited about Cash publishing Ava's Story. It'd be nice to look in the stands and actually see an author I know personally. (In my case about five other people whenever the rest of the team, and another friend of mine gets published.) Her stepping out in that direction motivates me and all the above. I think she's cool for it...and genius for having us write these blogs. It's helping me air out what's in my head as far as my stories.

Alright that's enough for now. Until later. *waves*
