Update!

Hey guys! How are you doing?

I'm very excited. On Saturday I'm going to start helping one of my friends in her Korean restaurant / backpackers lodge!!
I want to gain some experience in the tourism industry, because I really want to become a Travel Agent when I finish with school (which is scary close to happening!), so that will definitely help.

I'm so excited!!!!

This month I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo so I won't be posting the next chapter of the Blog Story, but I still need some suggestions for what should happen next before I can continue. So....


I'm doing a re-write on the novel I started for the July Camp NaNoWriMo last year.

I used Kindle publishing to create a cool cover for my novel

I managed to complete my goal (10,000 words), then I wrote about five thousand more words, then I went to South Africa and sort of forgot about it. Then when started writing again a few weeks ago I realized I'm basically doing a new, improved story line and decided I need to re-write the whole thing. So yeah,that's what I'm doing this month.
I started early (yes I was a little excited) my word count is over 4000 words now, but I'll be gone for a few days and I don't know if I will be able to write then so....

Are any of my lovely readers doing Camp NaNoWriMo?

Well, I need to get back to doing other stuff... This was just a quick update.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

Living life without sugar

 Hey guys!

 So back in January Gavin, also known as Sontard from the Shaytards, celebrated going a year without sugar. (To those of you who have no idea who I'm talking about; they are a family on YouTube)

 No cake.
 No sweets.
 No fizzy drinks.
 A completely sugarless year.

 To that I say. "You amaze me!"

 Sontard is a ten year old boy, one doesn't see such behavior at that age. Right?

 Anywho... Sontard inspired me to try this sugar free thing, but I knew there was no way I could make it a full year so I decided I'll do it for one month. February was out of the question, because I planned on eating chocolate on Valentine's Day, so I settled on March.

 When I told my mom about my plan she liked it too, and then we decided the whole family had to do it. And then a family friend, Matt, decided he'll join in as well.

Tell them Boromir

 Who would have thought it would be this hard? There are these little things that just frustrates me. For example, I want to make a sandwich. I decide on peanut butter and jam, then I realize I can't because jam has sugar in it. Then I realize I don't really eat non sugar things on my bread, (I hate Marmite and I'm not overly fond of cheese spread, and that's basically all other options I have) at least not easy spreads. And then of cause every time we visit someone we cannot accept their snacks because it is sugary snacks.

I don't really have this ravishing need for sugar, but I miss it. I suppose it is because eating sugar is such a habit to me.

But as that song says "I WILL SURVIVE!"*I hope*

Anyway, I'm using the sugar free month as my excuse for not posting the next chapter of the blog story. I'm an author. We needs our sugars to write the books, precious, we must have it....

But seriously it will hopefully be out by Sunday.

I'll leave you now to sulk about my sugarless life...

Move the tree!!!!

Hi guys!
How has your day been so far?

 I'm turning eighteen in a few months then I can apply for my driver's license. I can hardly wait! I can't really say my parents are all that excited but I sure am.

Yesterday my dad called me outside. He pulled the car out just a little bit, got out and told me to get in the drivers seat. I think my face must have turned grey. Our car is a Ford Ranger (affectionately called Aragon by the family. I think you know why. Right?)

It is a big car.

My dad explained to me what all the pedals are and what they do. Aragon is a automatic so I didn't have to worry about changing gears just yet. (Phew)
Then it happened. The explaining was over. My dad told me to release the brakes and guide the car down the hill on which it stood. I carefully released, then SLAMMED on the brakes again. I told my dad I couldn't do it.

You see; we have this tree planted next to the house. A big tree, not just some bush. And it was right there in front of me, a few meters away. I was convinced I was going to drive right into it and total the car, probably injuring my dad in the process.

I asked my dad to drive the car to the bottom of the hill and I would go the rest of the way. He refused and coaxed me all the way to the bottom of the small hill. I managed to do so without anyone getting hurt.

Then he told me to press down on the petrol a little tiny bit so that I could park the car on the grass for its bath. That was pretty easy.

Just like that the lesson was over. I shakily climbed out and handed the keys back to my dad.

Later I found my dad and mom laughing hysterically at something. I asked them what the big joke was. And my dad said.

"Megan, do you realize that earlier in the car you asked me to move the tree?"

I had no idea I said so.




I hope you guys enjoy the rest of your day!
