7-21-2011


Been thinking a lot about finishing up and getting published lately. Uncle Ed told me to write a letter to Oprah, asking her to review my novel. If she agreed to do this, and if I had my novel available for sell on Amazon.com, I may just be able to sell a few copies. We’ll see what happens. I’m still on Chapter XIII, and I finally figured out what will happen. Amyr makes up with them and tells them to go to a town called Atara’s Peak, where they will find a mage named Paradox, who is a genius with riddles.
                Well, much to my surprise, Atara’s Peak ended up being a town based around the old west. My initial plan was to make it a mountain range, but the trio is already scheduled to travel to The Vithar Mountain Range, and I don’t want too much of the same thing. The trouble with a western setting is that I have very little knowledge on the time period. I’m just sort of winging it for now – utilizing the bits I picked up from all those Gunsmoke episodes I watched with my grandpa when I was twelve. It’s not much to go on, but better than nothing.
                My grandma was taken to the hospital yesterday. She’s not doing too well at all. I hope everything works out and she can come home soon. All I can do is wait and see.
                College begins in less than a month. I’m stoked. Can’t wait. And I feel much better about getting rides from Uncle Pete now that he has agreed to let me help pay for the gas I use.
