Between The Lines Of Life

So school is back in session for me, and I'm loving my new classes! I'm taking Astronomy, Math, English, and American History Pt. 2 this semester. I have great teachers so far and my books are all really interesting. I need to read chapter 1 in both my textbooks (history, and astronomy), my other two classes are online. Anyway I thought I'd just get on really fast and update anyone who might be reading this on my life. So yeah I turned in my byu-i and byu applications and I'm expected an email from both within the next 3-5 weeks now. I'm looking forward to being able to let people know if I'm definitely going to byu-i or byu! I've also been working on a story which my best friend and I came up with when we were in high school. We tried to work on it before but since it starts with my character and I was having writer's block for a long time I'm just barely starting it. We've been doing a lot of brainstorming together though so maybe we'll f...

Okay, so I've been trying to get myself to sit down everyday and at least write 2k a day. But I've been having some problems with that. For one, there is writer's block. I keep getting blocked and need to find a way to open up my creativity box (no idea what anyone else calls it, but I like to think of it in terms of a box full of ideas and characters which I can use for my writing, if only I can open it). Any ideas on that would be quite helpful. Also another problem is that I can't find a good place to write. I sleep in the living room which is pretty loud. Anyway, any ideas on what I can do to make it easier on me to write, maybe even enjoyable. Also any ideas on how to force myself to write everyday. My goal is 2k a day, everyday this year. I'm not going to make that, since I haven't even start, but maybe if I could make it everyday from here till the end of the year. And if anyone has any ideas on what I could write that would also be terrific. I have tons...

Childhood dreams. Who hasn't had one? No one that I know. Recently I've been thinking about my biggest childhood dream. I always wanted to be 16, so that I could start dating and find the right guy and be married between 19 and 20. Mostly I wanted this because I wanted to have someone to take care of me like in all the stories. I just kinda figured this is the way life is meant to be. Apparently not for me though. I am now 19, and I've only been on one date, because I asked the guy. So it certainly doesn't look my dream will be coming true. But surprisingly I'm not as opposed to this idea as I thought I would be. I need time to figure out who I am in life and college is one place where I can. I'm almost finished with applying to BYU-I and I really hope I get in. If I do then I can see what its like to live on my own without any parental figures making me do chores. See what its like to be my own person and find out who the heck I am. Let this be a fresh chapter ...

So I kinda started my futuristic bootcamp story but I'm having writer's block a lot lately, so I haven't written much. I also started this story for my youngest brother about five siblings who are also witches and that went okay for a while but again I got writer's block. So right now, I have about five or six on-going works in progress: Altered Veggies (working title), Futuristic Novel (Bootcamp, again working title), In The Trees (request from a friend), Paz's Story (five sibling witches, Paz is the oldest), Rose and Briar Carter (kind of a wrong choices and the consequences kinda deal), Slayer (obvious, I absolutely love Buffy!), and Vegas Magick (another request from a different friend.) If anyone has any ideas I'm willing to hear them, just leave them in the comments. Anyway, I really need to get back to writing. So Hobey Ho Let's Go! Hugs, C. Wolfe

So, I recently got some money, so I decided to join this LDS Women Writer's group called ANWA (or American Night Writer's Association) which my mom and her twin, my aunt, used to be a part of. Hopefully I'll gain some experience as a part of this group, maybe learn some about writing and become a better writer myself. I want to be as good a writer as my mom and aunt and this is one way to accomplish that. Anyway, so I decided to start this blog to document what I learn, and maybe to get some input from family, friends, and complete strangers. I'm looking forward to this adventure and hope that you all have fun with me, reading my stories and my complaints as well, I'm sure. Hobey Ho Let's Go! Hugs, C. Wolfe PS: For any of you who didn't get that reference (Hobey Ho) its from the Pendragon Series by D.J. MacHale, and for those of you who did get it, well done!

Okay, so today I found out that yet another friend is getting married this spring. That makes two friends last year in the spring/summer, and three friends this spring. One of them that was married last year is 21, so I guess thats to be expected, but I feel weird thinking about my other friends who I went to the same class at church with and were in my grade or the grade above me at school who are getting married. I have lots of friends who aren't married, obviously, including my best friend. But its weird thinking that friends I grew up with (one of which is younger than me) are getting married or are married. I feel like I'm innocent and immature around them. They've all dated a few guys, found the guy they're going to marry and made plans to be with them for time and all eternity (or as is the case for a couple found the one they want to be with the rest of their life). I've never even dated, and here they are ready to start the next phase in life, married life....
