So, I FINALLY finished typing out The Fairy Princess. Now, I'm checking for typos, grammatical errors, and other such stuff. But, I'm happy to say that I will be getting The Fairy Princess ready for printing within a week.
As for the other writing I've had to do, Wednesday morning, I spent two hours on the computer, taking rough notes and writing them into neat and concise paragraphs. Then I had to send it to my dad at work, wait for his reply, wait for his revision, etc. Overall, I had to take two pages-worth of rough notes and write them out, then condense what I was saying into less than 200 words. And do you know what I was writing about? ME. I had to write my own bio for a concert I'll be performing at in April. It was tough!
Well, that's about all I can post right now.

True love
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth: He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare His generation? for He was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was He stricken.
~Isaiah 53:3-8
~John 3:16
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
~Romans 5:8
As you all know, Easter and Good Friday are coming up soon. As many do not know, the reason for many seasons is JESUS. This weekend is the remembrance of Jesus' death (Good Friday), burial, and resurrection (Easter Sunday). Amidst the celebrations this weekend, just please try to remember all the things that Jesus went through for you two thousand years ago.

My li'l sis and instant randomness
So, as some of you already know, my younger sister has two blogs of her own, Inspiration Daily and Into It...Deep. I hope you guys can visit them some time, and possibly follow them!
So, today, while my mom, sister, and I were in town today, I realized that I have no green to wear this Sunday. We had to stop at Kohl's for a little bit, so I stopped in the juniors section to see what I could find on the clearance racks. I found this adorable almost-neon green long-sleeved knit sweater that fit me.
Also, when we stopped at the library, I decided to peruse the fiction shelves, since I wasn't sure which author to read. When I was on my way down the aisle to get to the Gilbert Morris books, a two-inch-thick book caught my eye: The Map of Time by Felix J. Palma. As a BIG FAN of Star Trek (the original and Enterprise sagas), I love the episodes that have time travel and changing history. So, hopefully, tonight I will begin reading an unfamiliar author. If any of you have read The Map of Time, please let me know!
Update March 19:
I started reading The Map of Time, and I'm officially NOT going to finish it due to explicit content. I recommend NOT reading it.

My novels so far
So, I've self-published one novel of mine - Hafling Diaries. I've finished hand-writing its prequel, The Fairy Princess, but I still have several thousands of words to type onto my computer. I'm still struggling with coming up with a good outline for Mermaid Tales, Hafling Diaries' sequel, however. I have names and everything picked out, but I'm still trying to decide whether Eowiodith, the mermaid, is cursed by the human witch Creliri before or after Eowiodith and Prince Fletcher meet. I'm leaning more towards before, though. These are just my fantasy novels.
In the past, I've started - and nearly finished - several other stories and novels. One was where I was writing in the first person, as if it were happening to me. Another was based on a strangely realistic dream I had a while back. Another was a just-for-fun kind of story about a girl named Gwenivier.
I also joined NaNoWriMo back in November, so that really motivated me to finish a novel in a month. I'm going to Camp NaNoWriMo next month, so that'll be fun!
