Wow...

Okay, so...we are not so great at updating this thing. But in our defense, we haven't had a group chat in a loooong time, so there's really been nothing to say. Never fear, however, we're still writing. Katie's gotten a whole slew of new song ideas (mostly because of stuff that has happened or been said in real life, as far as I can tell). I honestly have no idea what B's been up to (not that I ever do...seriously, she's always about a mile ahead of me). I've finally rewritten our opening scene for the book. We changed the opening concept when we finally started doing an outline a month or so ago, but I never got around to writing the new opening and seeing how it works. I think I like it. :)

On my side, however, I wouldn't count on much writing getting done before next quarter. We're at the dreaded midterm time right now (dumdumdummmmm), which means I also have some papers due. Outside of that, though, being in winter quarter as a senior English major means...I have capstone presentation in four weeks. FOUR WEEKS! Ah! Which means I'm frantically trying to reach my goal in my novel, starting to think of how I want to present this thing, and not have a complete nervous breakdown. I'm usually pretty...okay...with speaking in front of people, especially over the last few years as a communications minor. This is not just giving a five minute informational speech in front of a public speaking class or something, though. This is a 20-minute long presentation of my novel-in-progress in front of friends, family, fellow English students, and the English faculty. Oh, yeah, and it kind of determines if I graduate or not. No pressure.

The moral of the story is...we're still working. We're still writing. We're just REALLY bad at updating you all.
