I am going to skip the sappy excuses because I have none really. I am freaking out right now, am uninspired, and I feel like a wreck who hasn’t been getting a lot of sleep. Just recently though, I have been feeling better which explains the really late check up.

Anyways, this week from June 3 to June 7, 2007, I have written a lame total of 1,893 words off of Magic Pens.

As for reading, I read about 5 pages of Timeline written by Micheal Crichton and The Rules of the Road about three times from cover to cover.

I am sorry that I haven’t been on lately…I really don’t know why, but I haven’t drawn, written, or read a lot lately. I don’t really know what I am doing with my time. Well, I wake up at 7:00 every Monday through Friday and have no parents at home until 3:00, so I will have plenty of quiet-time to write on those days and I am planning to. There is no way that I will not finish my end-of-the-year book submission. I am totally going to finish it…I just have to start…

Anyway, this week from May 27th to June 2nd, 2007, I only managed to scribble down 890 words.

I only read about 5 more pages of Timeline, written by Michael Crichton.

That’s really bad and I am really ashamed of myself. I don’t know if it counts, but I also read 60 pages of a game guide. I am really hoping that I will write this week and the rest of the summer…this just isn’t turning out how I thought that it would…

I know that I haven’t been on much lately, and I know that you all already know this and just want me to get writing already… As you might of heard from Melissa, I had a lot of art projects to catch to and they were literally taking up every waking minute of my life. That was this entire month, but now that school is over, the finals are done, and my art project is turned in, I can relax and take as much time as I would like with whatever I would like to do. I would like to apologize for my long absence, but it isn’t only Magic Pens that I have been absent from… I have rejected babysitting jobs all month, haven’t done much drawing or writing lately, haven’t played many video games, and haven’t visited my guild as often as I had. Now that school is out though, I have slowly been returning to life. It feels great to be back!

From May 13 to May 19, 2007, I had written only 137 words on Magic Pens.

Like I mentioned earlier, my art projects were swallowing up every second that I had, so I missed a word count. I promise to never entirely miss a word count…they just might be a little late. 😛

The summer had barely just begun and I found time to write 833 words off of Magic Pens from May 20, to May 26, 2007.

I also found time to read 27 pages of Timeline, written by Michael Crichton, which I hope to just sit down and read some day…

I am so excited right now! We’re getting all the arrangements for our end of the year book sorted out, I got my cover art, back summary, and dedication finished, planned out my hourglass story already and it’s so awesome, and I have received my T-shirt and hoodie! Thanks Mr. Gifford for everything!

This week, I admit that I didn’t accomplish a lot of writing due to the immense amount of work that I have been putting into our end of the year book and I was cramming to finish the cover art in four days.

This week from April 29 to May 6, 2007, I have written 1,293 words on Magic Pens and 206 words off for a total of 1,499 words.

As for reading, I finished the last 77 pages or so of Great Expectations written by Charles Dickens and began with the first 5 pages of Timeline written by Michael Crichton.
