Casual Update

1 min read
So I don't know what got into my head to start a rewrite of I Danced Til Dusk, but apparently that's what I'm doing. The sequel has proven extremely hard to write as a solid plot continues to evade me ^^' And Quest is halfway through the 3rd chapter, but it appears none of you are interested in that story, so I probably won't be posting it.

Anyway, time to aggressively rewrite I Danced Til Dusk (possibly renaming it to something more relative to the plot, like Fins and Feet or something? But I'm so attached to it's current title...). If anyone has any suggestions, commments, questions, or critiques on what parts of the story you liked, didn't like, think should stay or go, or just any remarks to how you think the story could be improved, please, please, please tell me now so I can consider what everyone has to say about it and improve my story until it reaches its full potential of awesomeness!!!

Looking forward to seeing I Danced Til Dusk grow and improve with all of your help!!!

Happy New Years, guys! :3 Thought I'd kick 2014 off with a journal entry to give y'all an update ;3

So, not sure whether I've mentioned this or not, but I've started college! Just completed my first semester at the local community college where I live :3 I love it, it's so much easier than senior year of high school! So far I've only taken 3 classes, a Sociology, Geography, and Theater class. I positively adored my Drama teacher! Such enthusiasm and passion! So hands-on! Wow! (Half my thought process occurs in doge memes, guys, you'll probably see a lot of it)

In 2013, I also met the love of my life~~~ How'd have figured I Danced Til Dusk would have led me to find my soul mate?? But sadly my dearest Branberry lives almost on the opposite side of the country from me... Not to worry, because on January 23rd, we're finally going to meet in person!!! Under the watchful eye of my mom, of course ^^' All kinds of predators on the internet, and it certainly wasn't my intention to find an online boyfriend, but we're going about this the safest way possible...

And now the update probably a lot of you have been waiting for (seriously, how many of my watchers hit the watch button because we're friends? Even Branberry originally came for my stories, though I'd like to think he stays for the love and affection ;3), about my stories: well, there's 2 that I'm working on at the moment, Quest (I'm actually gonna shorten its title, so now it's just gonna be called Quest) and Lullabies Under Moonlight. For those of you who forgot or haven't been paying attention -

- Quest is my newest story, of which I've already posted 1 chapter. The story follows two boys from different worlds, both with aspirations of becoming knights, and their group of allies as they quest to rescue the kidnapped princess of Elentia from one kingdom in order to prevent the kingdom of Elentia from going to war with the kingdom framed for her kidnapping! Whew, isn't that a mouthful? ;3 I actually have chapter 2 complete of this one, so keep an eye out for that soon~

- Lullabies Under Moonlight is the sequel to I Danced Til Dusk. It will of course feature both old and new characters, and will follow Jess and Kai as they start to realize that the world is filled with more fantasy than meets the eye, and not everyone in it is as human as they appear. I've had a lot of setbacks while planning this story, even had to scrap what I'd written for chapter 1 3 times, but now I think it's finally rolling in the direction I want. Fair warning, I have no idea when I'll be able to post that chapter, but I will hopefully aim to get it out to you guys by the beginning of March at the very latest, if not sometime between late January and mid-February...

So I think that's about it... Oh wait! After this spring semester, I may be moving and transferring to another community college. Nothing's really for sure right now, but I thought I'd mention it because Mom says once our plans are settled (and we're hopefully moved in with her husband), I can get a fish tank! I'm so excited already, and the end of spring semester isn't for like another 6 months! Heck, spring semester hasn't even started yet :3 But anyway, more time to research and prepare I guess~ I've been researching what kind of fish I want and how to properly maintain a tank (including cycling and water changes), and I most definitely will get guppies! If I end up getting a 15 gallon tank, I'll probably have a few guppies, a few neon tetras, and maybe a couple platys and a dwarf gourami. I've been looking into how compatible these fish are (not to mention I know from experience guppies and neon tetra get along fine), and they all seem to live nicely together. I'm a little dubious about putting a gourami in with platys, because one source says they don't mesh well, but a lot of other sources say they do, so I may give it a shot...

So excited for 2014!!! I'm gonna get to meet my boyfriend, hopefully start up another fish tank (and care for it properly this time now that I'm doing research. Last time I had fish went surprisingly well considering I didn't really know what I was doing ^^'), and have an all-around good time with college~~~ This is going to be my year, I can feel it :3 Happy New Years, and good luck to you all!!!

I've kinda given up on meeting that 50,000 word limit by now ^^' I'm just hoping to get as much written as possible. So, to do that, I'm working on 2 writing projects: Lullabies Under Moonlight (the I Danced Til Dusk sequel, in case any of you forgot or didn't read that note in the author's comments ;3) and a new story that I haven't titled yet. I've already gotten the first chapter finished on that untitled story, and I'm thinking I'll post it as soon as I come up with a suitable title ;3

Until then, happy November/NaNoWriMo!

You guys might have noticed already that I've started uploading chapters of I Danced 'Til Dusk again ;3 That's right, Wild is back~! With no more high school~ Never again~! College, here I come! And it wouldn't be possible without my beloved Branberry~ Without his support and encouragement, I could never have graduated~! I owe my success to you, my love~ *Kisses your cheek*

... So expect more chapters from me in the coming months! We're so close to I Dance 'Til Dusk's conclusion, I'm certain we'll be seeing the final chapter before the year is through~!

Alright, so a lot of you should be aware that AP testing is coming up. This year I've got 2 tests to worry about and very little time to study for them. My mom's concerned that my Internet addiction will get in the way of my studying time, so she's confiscating my laptop and my phone so I won't be distracted. She's granted me a small window of time to tell you all this. So from now until mid-May (or possibly until mid-June, depending on how much time I'll have to devote to studying for finals), I will be virtually offline. I'll try to check in as often as she allows after my studying is complete, but no promises.

This mainly affects the I Danced Til Dusk readers. I know I'm supposed to have another chapter up somewhere between mid-May and early June. I'll keep writing it in my notebook, but I don't expect to have a guaranteed window of time to post it until after the school year ends. Bear with me, guys. I'll try to have chapter 14 up not long after chapter 13 to make it up to you all.

Have a good next few weeks/rest of the school year!
