Hello everyone, I’m sure you’re wondering what the name of sweet frick is going on. Well, I’ll tell you.

I abandoned my stories during the last semester of college. I couldn’t write as well as I wanted and still have time to do the crap-ton of homework and studying I needed to get my straight A’s.

I came back the first day of winter break and read my stories. I hated them. I feel like I’ve done a crappy job especially on “Home Is Where Your Heart Is” in particular, and am currently re-writing it. The name sucks, there’s grammar mistakes up the wazoo because I couldn’t be bothered to check for them, the page breaks I put in didn’t show up, the first chapter takes too long to get to the action, and I never went back and fixed my version of Tony’s parents’ death when Civil War came out. Altogether, I feel I can do a better job re-writing rather than just going back and patching some of the cruddy spots. The re-write is titled “Free Falling”. I will leave the old one up for a few months. I’ve already written six chapters, I will be updating every week on Monday, usually in the evening. I plan on finishing the entire story in the next three weeks before I have to return to school.

You might be asking yourself, how the heck is she gonna finish the entire story before break?

Lemme tell ya.

I now have a computer. Before I was typing that crud up on a tablet and it took me three times as long. I’ve timed my writing/revision time for the chapters I’ve re-written so far, and it takes me half an hour to forty-five minutes to complete one. I estimate, based on today and yesterday’s work, that I can write about three to seven chapters in a day, depending solely upon how much sleep I’ve had and whether I drank my tea or not. I will be chugging the tea all throughout break, my friends.

My secondary story, “The Fangirl,” will not be getting a total revamp, but I will be going through to fix the page breaks and grammar errors. I will try to finish writing that too so that I can have regular updates, but not until “Free Falling” is done. We’ll see how that goes.

Please note that I am also writing a book. My focus is on fanfiction, but if anything is to keep me from finishing my re-write before I return to the hell-hole known as college, it would be that. It’s totally award-winning material, I’ll mention you all if it makes me famous.

I can’t think of anything else that needs to be said, but if I do I will put it in a chapter.

Here’s hoping your winter break is as awesome as mine,

Stax
