Write it Down

Welcome to Write it Down, a shelter from reality owned by me, Abbie. I was born smack in the middle of the 90's and I'm currently hoping to survive another year of high school. Write it Down is my personal blog and articles site.

Write, Eat, Sleep, and Repeat-

Posted December 16, 2010 // 4:22 pm // Comments (2)

I keep saying that I intend to update my site more often, but it hasn’t really turned out that way. I have been extremely lazy when it comes to web stuff. I did update a little bit by adding some things to my portfolio, but that’s all. Perhaps I should do some sort of blogging challenge. That could work.

For the past several weeks I have been working on my manuscript for a summer scholarship program..thing.. Okay, I don’t know how to describe it. Let’s just say that if I get accepted I go and stay at this college for about three weeks. If you’re accepted, you get some serious scholarships. It’s really important and I’ve heard it’s a life changing experience. Oh, and it’s for artsy folk :) My manuscript has to be 6-8 pages long and sent in by the 31st of this month.

Hello, people! If you think that’s easy then imagine me smacking you. Writing is beyond difiicult. First you have your rough draft then you spend hours, maybe even days, revising and finally you have your final draft. I love it, but it’s been stressful. All of my old poems I can’t bear to read because they are so awful. I’ve written completely new poems for this manuscript and it has not been easy.

I’ve also been working on Christmas presents for my friends. This year I can’t afford to buy them anything so I’ve had to make things. The majority of presents aren’t finished. My sister’s is done (and I’m quite proud of it) but that’s about it. Let’s see… I have four more presents to finish. Drawing isn’t a piece of cake either, especially when it’s drawing an anime character. If you don’t get the angle of the eyes just right, it all looks wrong.

In summary, this is what I have to do:

  • Finish my manuscript
  • Make my friends Christmas presents
  • Put more effort into my site
  • Eat less junk food
  • Get more sleep
  • Get off the couch
  • Cook dinner for my family
  • Become President before New Years
  • Invent a cure for stupidity
  • In all actuality, I don’t have that much to do. I’m just stressed and dramatic :)
