Hello

Hello my beautiful followers. First, I want to apologize for not having a regular post in a long time. I am writing a new schedule and hopefully you will be hearing from me twice a week from now on. =) 

Life's still going on here (Shocking I know), not a lots happening. I hit the halfway mark in my editing of Robin Hood yesterday, that was pretty cool. Now I have half a dozen character introductions to change before the end of the book, hopefully I can get in done this month. =D 

I'm also considering doing Camp NaNo next month to help me write a short story I'm writing. Are any of ya'll doing Camp? =)

On another random note (Since when am I not random), I got a book of origami which has kept me busy for hours on end. =D 

Here's some photos so your not completely bored. =)

My dad really hates mushrooms but a lot of big non posanas ones grow around our house and I LOVE taking photos of them. =D

I hope you enjoyed the post, even if it was a bit discombobulated. =P

Fun Facts and words

I feel awful, I haven't done a fun fact or word in over a month. =( Forgive me pretty please? 

Okay, as most of you know I'm a BIG Nancy Drew fan. I own all the original 56 books, most of the Her Interactive games, some companion books, two TV series and a movie. I'm just a bit of  a fan. =D Over all that fandom I have acquired some interesting facts about Nancy Drew, some of which I'm sure ya'll know. =) 

1. In the revised version of #5 The Secret of Shadow Ranch George is teasing Nancy about liking about a cowboy and she says "What would Ned say?" but Nancy does not even meet Ned til book seven. 

2. There were two original writers of the series, Mildred Wirt Benson who wrote up to book 30, The Clue of the velvet mask, then Harriet Stratemeyer wrote the rest. 

3. Carson Drew's middle name is Campbell. The p is silent just so you know.

4. When they revised the books in the 1950's they changed Nancy's age from 16 to 18 so that she could legally drive her car in all states.

5. In all 56 books Ned gets kidnapped twice.

I hope you enjoyed this!

Update

Hey everyone, I thought I'd give ya'll an update seeing as a few things happened this week I thought ya'll  would want to know about.  

First off is that I got a cellphone!! Or at least I'm going to once it arrives in the mail. =) I am SO excited!!!!!! Its going to be for texting only because I've got a thing against talking on the phone. (Don't ask me why) It should come on Wednesday!!! 

And also, I started an Amazon Wishlist! I had so much fun adding all my stuff. Okay so that's stupid but I had so much fun with it today I just had to share about it. =)
I also have started back up on editing my Robin Hood after an extended break which really excited about. =D Also there may be a third book in the series if all goes well. =D
Some things I'm adjusting to: Having my all but two of my siblings gone every day, Doing about a third of the work around the house, having less time for school in the morning due to chores, It being summer and the house being quiet.

As for an update on today it wasn't my best but it wasn't really my worst ether. =P
How are Ya'll doin'?
