My Inability to Keep Consistent Web Presences
Sorry everyone! I haven't posted in months! Agh, I know it's bad... To be honest, I put so much pressure on myself to make this blog professional that I scared myself.
So this means I'm going to post again, but I won't put as much pressure on myself to make the blog 'profound' or whatever else I thought I would achieve.
Also, I would like to introduce myself. In building my art career (Yes, I also do art), I have decided to start using my full name. I figure it's only fair to use it here as well. My name on here isn't just The Novelist anymore, though I do enjoy calling myself that. My actual name is Amanda McCoy.
I haven't been on hiatus from all of the internet. I have been posting a lot of writing on my fanfiction (though I need to update there as well). I also have an art presence on facebook as facebook.com/amandamccoyart and on deviantart as deviantart.com/musicbookart42. I also just reopened my twitter which is twitter.com/almpianowriter. If you want to see more writing things from me, that would be the place to look.
One more thing before I end this post, to get back into the groove of writing, I'm going to try and write some short stories. I'm going to post them here (or link to them if they're fanfiction...). I very much would like to start writing my own fiction again, as I've been quite lost in the world of fanfiction lately. I think this is a good way to start that is a bit less daunting than jumping straight back into noveling.
Hopefully, I'll be editing my novels soon. I've written two first drafts, and neither are ready to be sent out.
I also hope to finish a rough draft for another story throughout the summer, and I want to start writing a memoir about being visually impaired. That, though, takes a lot of planning, so I don't know when the actual writing will start.
Despite my wish to be published, I also am trying for an art career which is taking a lot of time from my writing. I'm 17. I really don't know which one will be my forever career; I'm hoping for both, but that's quite unlikely. Right now, I'm doing my best with it and hopefully making progress with both.
Thanks for being so patient with me!
-Amanda
