So... long time no blog.
Considering nothing much is going on in the writing world for me, besides struggling with The Fame (6K, woot.) I've decided to blog about... well, I guess I'll just ramble about some random stuff.
Harry Potter.
Although the books have stopped, the fandom never died. And now, the movies are coming to an end as well. So... what else is there to look forward to?! Will the HP fandom die? I certainly hope not. And I really hope that wizard rock never dies. I just went to an Alex Carpenter/Jason Munday/Mike Lombardo show about a week ago and got to meet them, and was introduced into this amazing community of geeks. And sure, there's a bunch of other stuff to go crazy over- The Hunger Games, Doctor Who, so on and so forth, but none can ever live up to Harry Potter.
But guess what comes out on the same day? WINNIE THE POOH. OH YEAH. I have waited so long for this! I'm psyched!
Summer.
It's been pretty awesome so far. Volunteering at the library, practically inhaling books, procrastinating on an AP World History project, going to the beach, the water park, attempting to write again... doesn't get much better than this.
Those book reviews I was talking about.
Maybe I'll get to one later, but instead for Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie. Started last night, finished this afternoon. I couldn't put it down.
I don't have much else to say.

My contest-winning short story, Particles of Dust it takes two minutes to read!
I think what's so great about Harry Potter is that our generation has grown up with it. It was the first real book I ever read, and as the next books came out, I stayed with them all the way. That's what makes it so special to me. I still feel super obsessed right now, and I'm trying every cure, because I know it can't always be like this! Recently I tried writing fanfiction, which let me make the characters my own, and it's helped a lot.
