The Obstacles of Love

thoughts, feelings and more feelings about this story.

Hello everyone!

I hope you have all been doing fine and dandy. (fine and dandy... are they the same thing? I feel like dandy slightly exceeds fine). Anywho, my thoughts and feelings on this story. I AM GOING TO FINISH THIS SHIT! (Not shit in a, 'this story sucks' kinda way but in a 'this is motha fuckin sparta! *kicks something over for emphasis*' kinda way).

FOR LAZY READERS (like myself): I will break this up into parts so you can choose what you care about and don't care about. Also, I will bold anything important. (this mofo is gunna be long, and I don't want to dismay you're intentions to care about my thoughts, feelings and thoughts.)

EDITS:

I am currently editing, it makes it so I can read what was previously written (get re-acquainted with the characters) and it allows me to make changes. If there are any major changes I may star the chapter or something. Other than that I'll really be focusing on basic grammar and spelling errors, excessive wordiness and re-arranging sentences to make them better. Also, when I say BASIC grammar and spelling I mean it. I am really not super worried about making it perfect for a writing website. Sorry.

WHY I FEEL THE NEED TO FINISH THIS STORY (feelings mostly):

Okay, so I have abandoned this story for quit some time now, but a month and a half ago my dad died a very sudden death and I am feeling extremely connected to Summer's character. Also my dad was always supportive of my writing and the only way I will ever get published is if I practice. Not saying I am there yet, just saying I think I have been progressivly getting better since my first story and would like to continue to progress. Anyways, I felt like Summer's character was getting really reckless (for her) and out of character, but after going through an experience that is somewhat similar to her own (everyone experiences grief differently) I realize that she is really not acting out of character. I have felt extremely reckless since my dad passed away (I have new piercings to prove it) and Summer is actually behaving more than I am, when we were both similar in our good girl ways. So really she may get more reckless when I go back to make changes, and may get more reckless to come. I am worried I will project my reckless ways onto her but don't think it will alter anything all that much. So, do not fear, it will still be the same story with the same characters and the same character traits. Just maybe a little more bad ass. (if bad ass could be used to describe being reckless).

WHEN WILL I FINISH:

Hopefully over my Christmas break, I have started the edits which I can do while I'm still in school (probably a chapter a day, I do have to study). But I am writing this on 12/17 (Tuesday) and am all done Thursday (19th). So in a week or so I hope to be done with edits and then I will get to hopefully writing chapters.

WILL I DISAPPOINT:

maybe, I'm a flake and a half recently (and somewhat always) but extra right now.

DO I INTEND TO DISAPPOINT:

no. I wanna finish this! **kicks over nearest object in determination*

MY PLAN: 

to finish editing what I have, finish the story, and maybe (hopefully) go back and edit what was not previously edited.

I think that is all, you are all beautiful! Have a lovely day.

FUN FACT: Octopuses use coconuts to hide in. They take two halves of a coconut, bring it under water, and when they get scared climb inside, snap them shut and then hold them closed with their suckers. (this is the stuff I was looking at last night instead of studying.... I am not in a biology, or a marine biology, or anything related to this what-so-ever, class.) There's also a video of this that I suggest you look up.
