Finally

I am really excited! For the first time in months, I actually managed to write something that wasn't for school!

After not having any inspiration for ages, my friend, Authoress Tams sent me a few pictures that reminded her of one of the novels I am working on. (Authoress Tams is my editor as well).

One of these pictures actually had the name of my main character, Patria, in the title, and the other one looked a lot like the idea that I'm working with in my book. Seeing those pictures really gave my ideas for that book, and I began to write. I actually started rewriting a scene that I had written last year. I had never been completely happy with it, but I was having a lot of trouble fixing it.

Finally, Saturday night, I managed to write part of it better, and I am infinitely happier with it. I plan on posting it up this week if I can. I haven't quite finished it yet, but hopefully I'll get it up this week. If not, I'll do my best to get it up next week.

While I am on the topic of Patria, I found out what the name means. You'd think it was French, since I first read it in a novel by a French author, set in France, but it is actually Latin, and it means fatherland. It is a funny name for a girl, but considering the plot of the story, it really works for her.

Like I said, I'll try to get that piece up this week, and if I can't get it finished in time, I'll do my best to get it up some time next week. I'll finally manage to use this blog for the use it was created for!
