So being in college has definitely given me knowledge about different types of writing.  I've been experimenting with short stories lately, and it seems to me that I'm finding my forte.  I submitted a story to our literary journal up here at school and while I was working on it, it just seemed to fit.  I've always been one of those people who get inspiration from the mundane and minute, not necessarily from the big picture, so short stories fit perfectly.  Maybe this is God showing me where my talent truly lies.  We'll see where it goes, and as usual, God knows what He's doing, so I'll trust Him.

In the meantime, I have a quote for you from the most unlikely source:

"Your life is an occasion; rise to it."
-Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

A little pause on the whole publishing thing.  Turns out I made a mistake on the papers and so I have to send my form in again.  So I know for sure it will be ready in October.  This will give me time to perfect it and save up money to print it for real.  So there's the scoop.  Until next time.

Well, I know I haven't updated on my book for ages, but it's finally published!  All I have to do right now is get it copyrighted and then I can sell it!  I'm very excited!  Here's what'll be on the back of the book:

"Day to Daze is a book of poetry that goes through most of the typical feelings a teenager experiences.  From poetry about the fear of death to poetry about utter happiness, this book relates to most life questions.  There is even a score of poems that personify life’s worst companions such as fear, death, and darkness.  However, within a life there is always happiness, so many poems of hope and faith are included as well.  With simple poems and symbolic verse, there is sure to be a poem for everyone."
