A SUMMARY
I'm Engaged!
I've moved in with the love of my life in February, and as of April 6th, we're formally engaged.
The Ring
I finished writing my novel, and I've made a good dent in about 800 pages of the second instalment. I stopped writing some time ago though. Somehow its easier to write when one isn't happy with their life. Currently the first one is 850 pages, hand written. I just need to type it all out and edit it as I go. Tidbits of both have occasionally shown up in my blog. I'm thinking that one of these days I will try to submit my book to a publisher, but I'm not in a big hurry. There have been a few people to read it so far, and all of them have said they couldn't put it down. Once finished, they couldn't believe it was my own story and that I had done that much and remembered it all so vividly!
