Blog Updates from Borrowed WiFi

Blog posting becomes more difficult without constant connections to the internet. Fact.  At this point in time I can't afford internet so I have to get my lazy butt to the library or Starbucks or Paneras with computer in tow to do things on the interwebz.  I could, in all fairness, post blogs from my phone; at least I still have internet on there, but it is a lot more difficult and time consuming if you would believe it.

I'm beginning to gear up for LeakyCon which is (finally) quickly approaching.  I'm still extremely excited and I have nearly everything "paid" for.  I have my hotel, the convention, and my flight booked and paid for.  I've nearly saved enough to make up for my paycheck I won't be getting and then after that I have to focus on the Park Event and spending money! I've almost made it in a financially stable manner to this LeakyCon.  Cue the Hallelujah Chorus and applause.

I'm still working on my novel, but I have also started a novel that has been spinning around in my brain for a while now.  I've been avoiding this new novel, but I think I need to write it and then I will feel better about having done it.  That way, after I've finished it, I can write the other other novel that's been pulling my brain's concentration which is going to be super fun and exciting to write. 

It's laughable, the range of all my novel ideas. I've now gone from outer space travelling/adventure, to futuristic, distopian, YA "real life," to magical pirates.  Some of these aren't written yet, but it will be an awesome span of literature when I'm done! You can't accuse me of staying firmly in any sort of literary box!

In my opinion, the YA real life novel is the scariest endevour of my (so far) literary career. It not only deals with real life scenarios and emotions and some things that are personal, but if I write myself into a corner I am more limited in events that I can use to help my plight.  In a work of sci-fi/fantasy, if something gets boring I could throw in an alien invasioin or all the power in the world blinking out of existence.  In the real world, that doesn't really happen.  So that is more difficult for me on top of being a more difficult subject matter. 

I hope everyone has a great 4th of July and I hope that the summer holds some fantastic adventures for us all!!

Until the next! xx
