A Change of Heart

First, I would just like to say to anyone who might be reading this: I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for a few days. I've been a bit busy with work and reading books.

So first off, I have decided to not write an autobiography for this summer's writing project. I currently feel, dreams aside, that I simply do not have enough writing experience to create this story with the justice it deserves. This story that I am speaking of, was a life changing experience and honestly, I don't think it would be a good seller. Also, I feel this novel could be much more exciting if I had more than a month's worth to write about.
Instead, I have come to the conclusion that I will write a romance novel that has to do with trees and past memories. From my most recent novel, The Maple Tree, I am going to take bits and pieces out of this story to put into my summer writing project. So being that I have to start this summer writing project with a completely blank paper before me, taking fragments from my previous stories is not "cheating." I would simply call it using my resources, because I am starting with a blank page but once I really get into the novel, I may not use anything but fresh thoughts and ideas.

I would love to post the title and plot of these novels but I promise you that once I get enough written, I will post a preview for my summer's writing project novel, like a movie trailer. But unfortunately, I am not far enough into my writing that I can post this currently. But, I don't have to work at all this weekend and it seems like it will still be pretty gloomy here in Ames, Iowa so I won't go out shopping or to the pool; I will simply sit in my thinking alcove in my living room and write.

<3 your devoted writer, Bre
