Well now I trust that a few of you that have read this know the reasons behind my whole story Luck or Fate. What you may not know is why I started writing. It was the beginning of year 11 and I was ditching my classes, hell I was only there because I didn't know what I wanted to do with myself. So I had had this awesome teacher for english for two weeks, then he got moved classes so I got another teacher. After those two weeks I just didnt' show up much.
One day I was off getting a cup of coffee (even at 16 I was addicted, still am 2 years later) anyway, he came up to me and asked why I wasn't in class. I had been ditching most of my classes for a few weeks now and he was the first person to actually ask me why. It was nice and I explained a few things to him, he suggested that i started writing to get it all out of my system, which is how it all began.
For your reference his nickname is 61.
Now i'm going to jump quite a while and tell you an amusing story from Novemeber last year during NaNoWriMo. A couple of my friends took the book I was writing and and started reading it out loud at school, in the middle of lunch. This particular story contains some rather graphic scenes not too far into it and as they were reading it 61 walked past. This was a little awkward for me because I happen to have a bit of a crush on him and he stopped to listen to what they were reading. Of course his reaction was a bit worse, it pretty much went like this:
Him: You're a talented writer, but it's a little creepy how well you write such graphic scenes."
Me: "Relax I got no experience in that field and thank you."
Him: "Hmm I think that's even worse. Come see me if you want to become a published author and I'll help you get your book ready. Keep it up, and as I said you are a very talented young writer."
At that point my two friends had stopped their reading and were just staring at us. It had become a bit of an awkward situation for them and some how quite amusing for me. Of course they wanted to know what that was all about so I told them only a few bits and pieces.
I'm currently working on the book that this story is based off called Luck or Fate. I'm hoping to have it published by December and there will be more blog posts regarding random bits and pieces and the other so far 15 books in the series!!
Stay tuned guys and don't forget to watch Sea Patrol!!!!
