Where have I been?

In case you were wondering where I've been all last week, I had gotten sick, so I couldn't work on the story. So I was pretty bummed about that.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting back into the game and hopefully making some progress with the story that needs to be made. It's not going to happen overnight, but I know for sure that whatever happens, I'll be ready for it.

Plus, I should be halfway through the first draft, and I would have gotten there if I didn't get sick, so there you have it.

But I'm not crying over the lost time; instead, I'm upset that I had wasted so much time being sick that I haven't had the chance to catch up with my blog and now it's getting further away from me. I hate playing catch up.

Well, that's all I have for now, and wait for more blog posts regarding the novel I'm working on this month and the months past. I'll be back with more!

Story of the Month: And You Thought Your Family Was Weird!

OK, while everything else is starting to fall into place, I will explain my story here:

The year is 2014 (I know, how original), and Kristin Fernando is being shipped off to stay with some relatives in Arizona while her parents deal with a bitter and nasty divorce. Kristin is a huge social media addict, with accounts on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Wordpress, and Livejournal. She also texts her friends as often as she can.

But once Kristin gets to Arizona, she is given a less than stellar welcome and finds herself in a new school where the use of social media is not allowed. Due to an incident in her old high school, Kristin loses most of her old friends and has difficulty making new friends. And to top it all off, her cousins aren't exactly the traditional American family that she sees on TV.

But when her online life is exposed to the school, Kristin will have to make a radical change to her entire life or else her life (both online and offline) will end up going down the drain!

This month will be dedicated to not only blog posts about the usage of social media, but about Kristin herself and the world she lives in.

Now you know.
