Writing Two Books

So I decided during my jobs shut-down to start a new book and write as many pages as I could during the week. I topped that week with 60 pages. My initial goal was to do 20 pages a day, but that proved harder than it seemed. I had stuck with the 20 pages a day routine for 2 days before I burnt out. Wednesday I did nothing and picked back up writing at my leisure on Thursday. The new book I am starting is different from my first. This one will be a Young Adult Fiction novel where as my first was a children's book. I am excited about it because I have a very in depth understanding of what's going to happen in it. I dreamed the whole thing as if it were a movie. When I had awoken from said dream, the ending was so sad I cried for 30 minutes. That probably was also because I was still half asleep (That's my excuse). It took me a long time to actually come up with a summary that wouldn't give anything away, but I finally decided upon this:

Title: A Heroes Time (Working Title)

Landon is cursed. Ever since he was unable to return the feelings of a girl in the 3rd grade, he has had amazing bad luck bestowed upon whoever spoke to him. Living in a world run by The League of Heroes, when events are leading to disaster, his curse becomes his greatest power.

During the beginning of the week before I started this challenge, I finished up a book that I had been putting off for so long. "The Inventor Fish". I felt bad about not completing it for years because it was a joint project with my friend. I have been finally completing projects that have been building and building, taking up all of my time. I feel a lot better about myself now that I have finished 2 Willow Lantern Website projects and now the Children's book. I hope my friend doesn't read this because I have a copy being sent to her house without her knowing. It's only the proof copy though, so for all I know, it might look yucky. That's why whenever I receive my proof copy as well, I will be able to check the book for quality. Then if my friend sees fit, we will publish the book.
