Update!

So what's been going on in the world of Sarah...

Firstly: NaNoWriMo was an epic fail. University work and life in general kept getting in the way. Also the fan fiction I've been working on demanded it's way to the front of my writing priorities and thus, I failed at Nano, but that's okay, I kinda knew that when I went into it. On the upside, I'm almost finished the POP fic and hopefully that will clear the way for something original to assert itself. If you've been following that, I know it's been a few weeks, but I'm writing the penultimate chapter right now!

I'm finished Uni for Christmas now. Although that is a bit of a misnomer as I have exams or 'finals' to those who follow the American system, to do in January. Yes, January. So Christmas is cancelled as far as I'm concerned! Well, not quite. I will still take a few days off, but I'll have to be working quite hard for most of my holidays!

Another thing of note: If you haven't already seen the trailer for the Hunger Games, watch it here... NOW. This looks like it's going to be one of THEE films of 2012. I already think March is far too far away!

On a side note I've been having a lot of vivid dreams recently, so I've been getting a lot of material for original fiction (I hope) which I am planning to start once POP is out of the way. I just hope I can get as sucked into an original story as I have been to Fanfiction.

NaNoWriMo

I know it's been a while since I last posted here, but on my writing front things have been pretty quiet!

I am, however, going to endeavour to take part in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I don't know if I'll be able to complete the challenge because of Uni commitments, but I'm going to give it a shot!

My username is Wings-Of-Fire, so feel free to check me out there and see how I'm doing!

The story I'm thinking of writing for it is called Beulah Heights. I'm really not great at summaries, especially when I haven't the plot properly figured out, but here go's... Beulah Heights is an apartment complex in the middle of the city. The story will centre around a group of young people who live there. If you were going to liken it to anything, then maybe Gossip Girl, but without so much of the scandal and social climbing aspect. One thing I do know is that I want there to be a Christian character. In most of the series' that are on television at the moment, any 'Christian'character is either portrayed as mad, malicious or horrendously hypocritical. For once I want to show that there are some who genuinely care about and live their religion out in their day to day lives.

Here's hoping that I can get into the swing of NaNoWriMo when it starts! Wish me luck!
