Good News & Bad News
As the post says I have good news and bad news. I’m going to give the bad news first so that hopefully the good news will soften the blow. As some of you may already know, Steve Irwin “The Crocodile Hunter” passed away yesterday. He was killed by a stingray barb to the heart while doing a new documentary. He left behind his American wife Terri and two children. This is tragic news for anyone that is familiar with his work on and off screen. He did so much for Australia and various wildlife conservation efforts across the world. He showed millions that reptiles are not animals that should just be feared, but animals that should be respected and loved just as any other animal. Mr. Irwin will be sorely missed. I already miss you Steve :(. Now for the good news I suppose.Last night I was doing some thinking about what I was going to write about. For those that are new to my writing or the way I work, I don’t think up entire stories and do outlines and such. The problem with outlines, for me anyway, is I have no interest in actually doing the full writing because it’s already been written out, leaving me with no mystery or new things. So, for the most part I think of a single interesting idea to write about and that’s what usually sparks my interest.In other words, I have the beginning of a story. I just need to come up with a few things first before I start writing. But, don’t you worry, there will be some writing on here for sure in the next month or so. I will however keep this thing updated regardless until such time as I have writing to produce. Maybe I’ll put a short story I’ve written up here or something. Who knows.Anywho…
Yes!
Okay, so I’ve put up this neat template and been fiddling with things. I also signed up for that Adsense program through Google since by doing so on Blogger it brings them revenue which will in turn help them keep the site up and running. It also means that Blogger can have new features in the future when they have the appropriate amount of revenue coming to them. So, basically this will be my silly little blog. Nobody is reading it right now, but that’s because it’s so brand new. As such I guess I could post what my mission is on this. My Mission:Basically I hope to use this Blogger site in order to post chapters to a Blog Novel. I’ve seen people do it and a I just really would like to write something and have it available some place, and Blogger is the best place to do it.What kind of novel? Anyone who knows my writing will know I tend to write from the female perspective or a child’s perspective. I’ve already labeled this site, so I’ll just repeat what I want to write: a young adult fantasy novel. Basically I want to write something that will deal with children in some way (roughly in that near puberty age since it’s a good point in time to write in regards to children), and I happen to like fantasy quite a bit. I’m not entirely sure what the story is going to be about quite yet, nor the characters, type of world, or anything. I’ve been creating my own little fantasy worlds for so long now I imagine I’ll think of something interesting over the next few weeks. As soon as I come up with a compelling enough idea to write about I will start writing chapters for it, and obviously I’ll be posting them on here. Then I get to see how the idea develops. So just sit back anyone who happens to be wandering through here. Who knows what will be popping into my head later on…
