Adventure Prevails

Whew chapter 8 is done. Now I can rewind back to chapter 6. I was a little nervous about chapter 6, for  a couple of reasons. Again I am not writing from my own perspective and whenever I am not, its extremely nerve wrecking. I worry that with the book being based on people that were real, that I am not pin pointing the person's exact nature or personality.

With being in Seattle for the summer, the ease of time and freedom are wonderful, but unruly. Between babysitting and spending time with friends and family. I am finding that its even more difficult to keep writing when I have a TV and no urge to write. Everyday I sit and tell myself, write, write, write! Even if its not good, just write! At times my inner voice does not prevail.

Today, however, has been great! Sitting at the computer and typing away at Chapter 6 have been good so far. Actually writing this chapter has not proven to be difficult yet. Words melt onto the page as I sit and let my fingers go go go. My uncle is probably sitting next to me whispering what to write and what thrills to add to the chapter. A page has been written and continually adds to the length of my book. It is always exciting to know how far the book has actually come from day one. There are now 50 pages!!

Can you believe it! With this chapter and chapter 7 completed I will be close to completing ten chapters of the book. Which will mark half way done! 

The Unexpected

           Mid July and I am feeling great about finishing chapter 8. You may all be wondering how I got from chapter 6 to 8 without writing a single update on here. Well to answer your question, I skipped chapters  6 and 7. Though chapter 6 has been started I felt as though I should focus on the chapters that I have the most knowledge and research for.
           Chapter 8 was not difficult in the manner of actually writing it, but difficult emotionally. Without giving anything away about the chapter, it was emotionally hard to write. The entire chapter is solely from my memory as a Nine year old and proved that the initial emotions felt at that time, really never go away. We may change as we go year to year on how sensitive we are to our initial emotions about things but as Humans we Never forget.
          Luckily for me, when I feel emotion as I write, I have found that my writing is even better then when I don't. So this may be one of my best chapters thus far.
          I sat down on the bed, plugged in my headphones and went through my notes. I prepared myself to dig deep into my memories and let my fingers flow, as the music I listened to that day 14 years ago, came out of my headphones. 3 hours later I had my chapter completed and quickly edited.
