Simply because this gives me something to do, I shall update my livejournal.

What has happened since September? I moved into the dorm, it is good to be away from my parents for a while. First quarter went fine, I became a handler for a red tailed hawk named Ake with an amazing personality at the Wildlife Shelter where I volunteer and hope to be rehired there this summer.

Second quarter is not going nearly so well as the first, I am overworked and overstressed, I have dropped one class and that is making things somewhat easier, but I am still counting down the days. I have recently gotten more experience as a handler and have switched from handling the red tail (he is being transferred to another shelter as we already have two education hawks) to an absolutely beautiful Peregrine Falcon named Isda. She isn't quite sure of me yet, but we're getting used to each other.

As far as writing goes, nano (Darkshield) took a nose dive at 24k because of overwhelming school work (Japanese hates me), but the story continued, it's simply going a lot slower. In fact it underwent some major rehauling this week and last week and though it is slow going what I have of it is nearing publishable material and it continues to speak to me, as does it's sequel (Technobabble). I have never before tried to work with Sci-fi, i'm usually more of a fantasy person, but I'm finding this story incredibly fun and easy to write.

Ruthless also underwent a MAJOR rehaul. I've only written a bit on the new version, Darkshield has been consuming most of my writing time, but it is now much more in tune with what I intended for the story, which is a darker, more serious piece, rather than the silly romance it was turning into.

As of the last few days my cognitive abilities are fading fast, but hey, here's a good outlet that no one ever reads where I can write my thoughts and blow off some steam. Yay.

Also, I have nothing else to do at the moment having run out of episodes of Andromeda, so I might as well rehaul my lj. I enjoy creating things, and fixing them too.

I have just updated my Interests and plan on continuing to do so in hopes that someone will stumble across me. If you are that person, leave a comment just to let me know you were here I would greatly appreciate it, I'm not very good at getting people to find me. Guess I'll go through and see if I have anything finished that I can post so that hopefully if I attract any attention I'll be able to keep it.

This is something new, if it turns into anything it will probably be a series of shorts. It's a little odd, the writing style isn't my usual, I don't know why it turned out that way, but I kind of like it. Mostly unedited as my beta is asleep atm, I scanned it myself but I won't have the distance to really edit it for a few weeks at least. This is the first meeting of two souls who will be reunited in lives to come. Perhaps I'll write a few of those lives, if the mood takes me X)

This is the first scene in Darkshield, kind of a teaser since I'm not planning on posting the rest of UGF online, but I like it and I might post a couple of drabbles with these characters so I'll stick it up. Not edited, but I don't think I made any major blunders.
