Ok, so it's been three days. That doesn't count as breaking my promise yet, does it? I've been busy! Homework, track practice, i went to the mall... okay my excuses are pathetic. I give up and submit my humble apologies.
At the moment, I'm sort of at a loss as to what to do with Matt in Life As I Know It.... cuz all this stuff is happening to the other characters and i haven't written a chapter about him in forever, but i just can't figure out what to do with him! I know what will happen eventually, but i still have no clue how to get there! this is so frustrating. :P
However, at least I did not waste my day in total idleness.... i wrote a new poem for The Calm Ensues about my year, just in time for New Year's Eve. :) I don't feel like it's really an example of my best work, but I hadn't posted anything there in so long, I felt I had to do something. Even if it's not perfect, I felt like maybe it was better than doing nothing at all.
Slices of Pie has also dried up a little, and I'm not sure what to do about that...... I'll have to think. Interview some people. Research song lyrics and quotes. etc.
This is kind of a pathetic blog post. I'm actually really sorry. But hey, happy new year!! May your year be full of happiness, inspiration, and literary success. Cheers! ;)

Keeping Faith
well, here I am, as promised. Posting updates. Since I have made no literary progress whatsoever, i will simply write about my day. Just for exercise.
So this is how things went: I got up at eight this morning (on vacation. ew. yuck) and went to track practice. at practice we ran ladders (100m, 200m, 300, 300, 200, 100, with 2.5 lap warm up and 2.5 lap cool down. plus 100 crunches and 60 push-ups). it was a generally miserable experience, but i shaved a full second off my 100 time, which is good. i now run a 14s 100m, which is......decent. sort of. lol. i am a failure at running, but track is good for me. similar to blogging.
anyway, when i got home, i ate, i learned a torah portion, i practiced piano, and then sat down to do chemistry hw, feeling very accomplished and motivated, when the phone rang and ruined this lovely situation.
At 3:30, me and my best friend - the source of my distraction - arrived at the mall. My friends, I announce to you: I went to every single store in the mall today, in only just over 5 1/2 hours. That is skill. Skill I tell you. I bought some tshirts, an abercrombie sweater, bath&body works perfume and body wash (OMG THEY WERE HAVING A MASSIVE SALE THERE; EVERYTHING WAS LIKE 75% OFF!!!! lol), 3 giant rings, more tshirts, a birthday present for my friend, some earrings, ice cream, and.... i think that's it. go me. :)
At home, i played some wii, checked my email, etc, and was about to go to bed WHEN:
i realized i hadn't written on my blog. and it would be a poor resolution indeed if i broke it on the first day, so here I am, telling you all about my day. NOW i am going to bed.
PS - i got a letter from my pen pal. i'm oober excited. i <3 getting letters and look forward to answering hers tomorrow. there. now i'm done.

An End To Solutary Neglect
So clearly I have been neglecting this blog very badly. I feel very guilty about this because while I'm sure no one actually reads this, I consider it very important to right often, on varying topics, in different places. Also, I find that this is a good place to write down ideas and things, and then i can reference back to this, which is nice.
So, right now, there's not a whole lot going on for me on textnovel, but i'm hoping to complete either life as i know it or slices of pie in time for the contest. Probably Life As I know It, because i like that one more, at the moment anyway. I have a plan going for that one, but unfortunately i'm having trouble putting it into actual formulated chapters and words. ahhh. I'm working on it though. Promise. :D
Besides that, there's really nothing going. I'll add poems as I come up with them, but I don't have time to sit down and write legit poetry, unfortunately. sorry about that. well, i's gots to go now. ;) i promise to stop neglecting thsi an start actually doing stuff. :D
