Loving Mary

Starting Again-Very Important Please Read!

HEEEEEEY!!!! GUESS WHO ISN'T DEAD? GUESS WHO DID NOT DROP OFF THE FACE IF THE PLANET FOR FOUR MONTHS!

Oh my goodness... Guys, I am so freaking sorry for not updating! I mentioned that this was going on hold for a little bit, then I never continued it, and I'm very sorry.

I'm honestly going to give you the truth. I lost inspiration for this story. I really did. I just kinda went through a thing where I just wasn't happy with my writing, and I thought people didn't like my ideas, or my characters. I guess I just figured everyone who read was doing it out of pity or vague interest.

I was also worried about criticism. I know that's something every writer needs to improve their work, and trust me, I just went back reread everything I've written, it could use some work. I know I've made many mistakes, either grammatical or with the plot. I plan on changing that.

Starting tomorrow, I'm going to start writing this again. The next chapter probably won't be up tomorrow... But it will be started. I have do some serious thinking over how I want to finish it up, and I need to consider a spinoff series with their child....

But before you get your hopes up, the spinoff will have to wait until after I finish this storyline, and after I edit.

Yes, edit.

I am honestly a very amateur writer. I started this series when I was in 8th grade. I was 13, and knew almost nothing about character development and good plot, let alone creating a romance story.

And I can honestly say, that right now, at the age of sixteen, I still don't know how to do those things. Heck, I've never even kissed a guy... But I can say that I've had a lot of time to think. A lot.

Writing is something I'm passionate about. I love doing it. Recently this semester I signed up for a creative writing class. The teacher is awesome, and we have a lot of the same problems with our writing. We're both very self-conscious about our writing. The difference? He's written and published many books. He got over his challenges, and did what he wanted.

Now I'm learning how to do the same. His course includes many different things you need to know to be an adequate writer. I've been told I am a pretty good author. If that's true, then hopefully this class will make me even better.

But anyway, his class, as well as some very nice/funny comments recently have inspired me to pick up the keyboard again and get to work.

I hope to finish this book in about 3 or 4 chapters, but that all depends on how I decide the plot will go.

The first book I plan on editing will be the first in this series, Losing Mary. That one needs some serious work, and because of that, I want your opinion. Should I?! If so, should I just rewrite them, or fix the mistakes? Should I add more plot? Please let me know your opinions, ideas, anything.

I may be a bit slow with updates at first, but then I'll get back into a groove. I don't currently have the app on my phone, so I need to figure that out.

But yeah, sorry for this extremely long rant/apology/my life story... Please know that feedback is wanted, needed, and appreciated!!!

Thank you everyone who's stayed with me this far! It means a lot!
