WOAH! Chapter 5. I can't express how happy I am to have finally reached this point.
The last chapter proved that there is a lot to write. It alone (in word) is 10 pages long. Realizing that I basically wrote an essay, I felt extremely accomplished. I remember having to write 8-10 page essays in school and sitting for hours upon hours fighting my brain.
This chapter will be much easier to write as I am not trying to write from a well known persons' perspective. Yet again it is coming from a child's perspective. I sat down this evening and started typing away. I almost wish I had a time machine, most of my time pausing between words is taking myself into the past. It is close to refreshing; having to recall memories that are not a norm in adult life. Sometimes I wish being a child again was an option. No responsibilities, ignorance, and where concerns were only limited to where my favorite toy was.
I predict that this chapter will go easily and I will enjoy every moment of writing it. Thank you to my Parents and Grandparents for giving me the best childhood a child could ask for.
Happy Mother's Day! <3
After a few weeks of writing a sentence here and there, I finished chapter 5! Luck came my way and work allowed me to work from Seattle/Spokane for 3 months. I had the last push to finish the entire chapter on the 5 and a half hour plane trip across the pacific. The chapter did not prove difficult to write, as I had predicted. I felt as though capturing a 9 year old mind was quite easy. I let my fingers go and ran with whatever was written. It was great to notice that by the end of the chapter I had covered everything that I had wanted on my timeline! How exciting! The strange this was that my chapters (as originally drafted out) were slightly changed without plan. This must always happen?! Either way I looked at it as a good change and a few more chapters to the book are welcomed. With only roughly 20+ chapters more to go, I believe chapter 6 better get started!!
