Click, clack, click.
My fingers fly.
My mind races.
Words play back as images.
Click, clack, ding.
More words added.
More images formed.
Small smiles become visible.
Click, clack, click.
"He said this..."
"She did that..."
Drama enters the story.
Click, clack, ding.
The climax has risen.
The ending has been decided.
I wonder what they will think.
Print, seal, tape.
My fingers are crossed.
The deed has been done.
My fate as an author rests in their hands.

So recently, I've been typing up a storm on my little laptop. Now that school and dance are over, I finally have time to sit down, relax, and write--reading squeezes in there too. I have been working this story I hope to get published for six months. The "anniversary" is today. :)
I am so happy--and proud--to be able to say I have over 80,000 words typed out for this book. I am so excited to have my first draft almost done, but I can't believe I've only been working on this for six months. Six months. Where has all the time gone?
Though I am not a published author--yet--I do have an amazing editor { and bestest friend }. I just want to take the time to say thank you to her. She has helped me through so much over the last three months. When I introduced her to the rough first chapter she gave me the sweetest reply ever and it encouraged me to take my writing even farther { not only for her, but for me too }. So, with all that said, thank you Kenz. Thank you so much for your encouraging words and helpful tips. You've really helped me get through the harsh times--whether it was just writer's block or real life problems.
Thank you.
&
I love you.
"How long will you love me?"
"Forever. And if that ends I'll love you even after forever."
thanks for reading. <3
