Dreamweaver, here I come
I finished my outline. Its fourteen pages long and the paper is supposed to be 5-8 pages double spaced. I hope all the information from my outline will condense when I put in into sentence form...Or I'm going to have to cut a lot of stuff out :( I guess I should start working on my grad project website. Did I mention that the basic layout of the home page is due Friday? Well it is, if I haven't said already. Dreamweaver, here I come.

Updating
I spent the whole day updating: my webliography, foundation questions, blog, book edits, notes, project activity checklist, and weekly check in form. Busy. Busy. Busy. I have to update and finish my outline next. Fun. Fun. Fun. I'm not looking forward to it really. I'm all tuckered out. It's due Friday though, as well as the home page for our project website, so I can't delay.

I'm Back

I haven't posted anything for a while. It's been a little more than a year. Isn't that crazy? So much has changed. I've probably edited my story ten million times and Mrs. Watson has proofread it for me twice. I'm supposed to get her corrections back today so I can make final adjustments. I have my application filled out for a copyright. All I need is to finish my edits so I can submitt the final copy into the Library of Congress. I'm so excited!! My cover art for my book is finished as well. Well almost finished. I think I might change the font I used for the title. Please, suggestions are welcome! OH YEAH. I changed the title of my book. I didn't like Poltergeist. It wasn't very original or catchy. It's Blind Faith now.

I'm going home and don't have to come back to school until April 27th. But guess what guys!!! I'm going to Costa Rica this Sunday!!!!!! Ahhhhh, I'm so psyched!!!!!!! On the flight, I will be editing and revising my story. : )

On a roll here...
I've finished my proposal, edited it and turned it in. I've also finished the proposal's cover page and created a table of contents for all of my work this trimester. I've even edited other peoples' proposals. My next step is to complete the outline of all my notes.

Much Has Been Accomplished
First and foremost, I have finished writing my proposal and have gotten revisions. Secondly, as I am considering different publishing choices such as self publishing, I'm going to meet with Ms. Johnson this afternoon for lunch to talk about the self publishing process. I've also sent out my first four chapters to Ms. Watson and Mrs. Savido for constructive criticism. Things are looking good and I'm really excited!!

SUCCESS!
On Friday, I successfully interviewed Ms. Johnson and learned alot of interesting things. For one, she is a self published author with her own self publishing agency (Words With Wings). She agreed to be my mentor on this project and said she may have another author for me to interview. Additionally, she said that if I want to be a self published author, she could set me up for that (in case I can't get any publishing houses interested). I'm not sure if I've said this before, but I finished my prewriting and the first paragraph of my proposal. For now I'm continuing my research of the publishing process (taking notes), editing my story and finishing this proposal.

I revised a chapter of my book today and made a key change. I'm really excited over where this book is going. :)
