May has come and gone and turned out to be a roller coaster of sad emotions, and I'm starting to finally get back into writing again, and feel happy, and not numb.
My grandfather went in for surgery and it went sort of bad, in the since the surgery couldn't fix him and he passed away on the 19th. So I've been in my home town, and then in Ohio for the funeral also, which is a 10 hour drive.
I haven't felt much like writing, or anything for that matter. Been sort of walking around either feeling numb, or depressed and crying my eyes out.
I managed the next chapter to It's Complicated before life went to shit though, and now I'm starting back to working on my book again.
Been reading like a sonvabitch because reading is comforting to me.
I got a laptop for school, and for my writing. It's what I'm posting from now.
Life sucks, and it's sad, and I think I'm slowly learning to appreciate the little things. Yesterday I watched a bunny build a nest. It was neat.

So I'm deciding to skip Ch. 4 since I don't have the first part of the chapter to work from. I'm going to work on Ch. 5, which is Mana explaining the Speakers to Calder, and then compare it to the version I have back home.
See which one I like better. I almost wonder if it's moving along to fast, but I dunno. I'm wondering as I write up this blog if maybe Calder is found in the forest because he is running from who he is.
It has to be a lot to take in, being told you are not normal. I might go back and edit in scenes showcasing how not normal he is when I work on the second draft.
So tomorrow is the day. Grandfather goes in to have surgery done. I'm tired, but I can't sleep because of the worry. I suppose I'll work on writing until I pass out with the laptop on... well... my lap ^^;

On The Road Again
So I am away from my computer until Saturday and in a fit of genius I figured I'd copy each chapter to Curse onto a regular doc so I can focus on it while I'm away from distractions and hopefully finish a rough draft.
Left the first part of Ch. 4 back up in Atlanta so I'm sort of half working from memory on that chapter and pretty certain it's not going to mesh well in the beginning, which means more rewriting for me.
Yay.
But if I manage to finish, or at least get the first half done I'll be content and happy. I'm trying to think up trouble that Calder can get in to.
Should be loads of fun.
