The view from a calmer state of mind

I've calmed down somewhat from my last post, to the relief of all four people that read this. I've come across a blog by a new author called Elizabeth Eulberg, it's really helpful for other new authors and gives answers to questions that only a green author would want to know. Little bit of background - Elizabeth was Stephenie 'Twilight' Meyer's publicist and now she too wants to take over the world with her own YA fiction (that makes her sound like some Stalin type mad women). Anyone that is interested in writing a novel, I would recommend her blog just to get an insider's view of what it takes and the process. My novel is going great, I'm on chapter 10 and can't stop writing! My characters are really coming to life and I'm starting to say, "no he/she wouldn't do that." Hopefully I'll have it finished over the summer, but I think the editing process may drag its completion into the winter. I've been listening to Fall Out Boy a lot recently, yes I know, shit, shock horror that I'm listening to something other than Alex and the boys but I felt like a darker twist. I'd really forgotten how brilliant FOB's melodies are, Patrick Stump's voice wonderfully accompanies everything they do! Pete Wentz's lyrics have also surprised me somewhat, because of their dark, suicidal nature and thanks to wikipedia I learnt that he was greatly depressed during the 'From under the cook screw' period, so it's made lyrics such as "living is a wasted death" that much more chilling! Anyways chapter 11 is calling me so until next time stay safe.

Ps. check out Stan Lee's twitter, he is an amazingly random person... It's quite surreal!
