You know that glorious moment when your phone buzzes from somewhere within the deep, dark confines of your jacket pocket? When you grin delightedly and think; 'Yes! I have friends!'. You fumble for your phone, clumsy with excitement and when finally, you find that magnificent little machine and jab at any and every button possible to illuminate the screen, then you find a nice cheery message.. from your phone company.
How frustrating.

Just two more years..
Back to the drudgery, cold weather and stress of school life.
I miss TY already.
Nearly two months into fifth year and already I feel the cracks in my once perfect plans are beginning to show. Plans to 'study from the very beginning' and to 'work myself to the bone' are distant memories. For the moment, myself, and nearly everyone else in Fifth Year, is running on autopilot because when you're given so much work to do in one night, and so many books to carry around with you, both your soul and your back are left screaming in agony.
Let me just say again, I miss TY.
Ah the days where the contents of a school bag consisted only of an empty copy and a home work journal.. where you'd laugh at the thought of 'homework' and even if you were given work to do, it was perfectly acceptable to disregard it completely and instead focus on your social life.
Have I mentioned how much I miss TY?

The End of the Shifters?
I finally finished it....finally!
I still can't believe it, I'm pretty sure I'm still in shock but on the 5th January at 1:30AM I finished writing the book that I had spent two and a half years working on.
My life has revolved around Kumiko and the Shifters and now that I'm done I'm almost terrified to hand it over to a publisher to be analysed, edited and printed. It'll almost be like a piece of my own heart is being read by whoever picks it up, my life story.
Of course i'm still very much in the process of editing myself, now I know, I know editors are there to do that for me, but i want it to be perfect. I want to keep it as true to Kumiko and the rest of my extended family as possible, because though they may only live in my imagination, they are my family. From Silver with her optimism (we all know somebody like this), Keiran with his mysterious past and adoration for Silver, Justice with his cockiness and being the guy you hate to love and love to hate, Griffin, the genuine good guy, Jordan, the father figure and even Regal, the sophisticated psychopath! :D
well right now theres not much else to say, i'll have to contact publishers to submit the book and if they accept i'll be seeing copies of my own work on a shelf!
Life is good. :)
