Borrowed Time

"Step right over the line and onto borrowed time" - Borrowed Time - A Fine Frenzy

So, I've decided on a new way to start posts. I'm going to put up a string of lyrics of a song I'm listening to. Cool huh?

Ok. Onto the post.

Well, I've been thinking. [what else is new, I'm always thinking]. Well, I was skimming Midnight Sun by Stephenie Meyer (the leagal copy that is posted on her website stepheniemeyer.com) and I was realizing something about Edward. In twilight, he's very, well how can I put this nicely, boring. Most people who know me know that I'm a Jacob fan who doesn't mind Edward. Well Edward isn't boring throughout the whole thing. I mean, there are the cute thoughts he has when he's talking to bella [hidden things that we never knew about]. So it's not all bad. But it definintly isn't my favorite of all of the books. Mine is still Breaking Dawn [especially the Jacob POV part].

Another thing I've been thinking about is my style of writing. Earlier today my editor [and bff] Bella told me just how much my writing has morphed. Of course she's known me from the point where I would only use the speaking verbs said and asked. Yes, I've come a long way. And I've been thinking that the novel that I really want to publish is a more, personal story, something with more depth then The Flawed Utopia. I know this might sound crazy, to stop this book for the moment and focus alot on a different book, but I'd like to do something that couldn't be compared to Twilight. Bella, please don't shoot me :]

So yeah. That's what I've been thinking about. I'll post back later about whether this is really going to happen or not. Check you later :]
