Is it time for me to pick this blog back up again? I have this hope that if I keep using it, other people will come back. I know I say this a lot but I really miss having a little community of friends on here. I don't know who started it but man... it was so nice to come home from school and write up a blog post and read my friends' blog posts, and to have a little more insight into their lives and to give insight into mine, too.
I mean I have tumblr now but I don't use it for long posts like I used to on here.
I'll get started then.
I've been thinking about my novel lately. It's at 60,000 words and I've started wanting to change it. I mean all of it. It began with my main character as a lifetime resident of London, but I think it might be better if she was a newcomer, and it might be better too to not name the city as London considering I know barely anything about it. But I still want to set the story in England, so I don't know. I want to reshape the world I built and make it more believable. I also need a lot more female characters. So far the gender difference is about a 35/65 split. There's one gay man and one trans* woman, and I have two black characters and several other foreigners (hailing from South Africa, Germany, France, Ukraine & more) but I still think I need more diversity. London is a very diverse place.
I'm not going to post this on my Tumblr. My grandma died on Tuesday afternoon. Dad was there and he sent Tori and I messages on facebook when it happened. He said she went peacefully.
She was very sick and I knew this. I don't have many regrets in life (what the heck am I talking about I have like 900) but my biggest one is not travelling up to Auckland to see her before this happened.
I feel strange about it. I feel like... I should be more sad? Like I should think about it more? But by Tuesday night I was back to life as usual.
I finished Breaking Bad season 5 and started a Buffy rewatch, beginning with season 1.
My phone has been missing since I got back from France (it must be in my room somewhere, but I still can't find it!) so I'll need to go into Palmerston North soon and get a new one. Probably a smartphone.
That's it then. The first entry of my return to blogger. I guess I'll attempt to coerce my friends back into it, but I doubt I'll be successful. I think most of them have grown up and away from internet diary writing.
