College / Novel / Life Update

1/25/2015

Sorry it's been so long since the last post...life has been crazy since starting college. My professors are great, and I love my classes. I'm learning a lot and looking forward to what's to come. If some of you don't know, I decided to attend school in my home state (AKA, Maine), and I'm glad I made that decision. Besides the unfortunate cold weather, it's nice to be close to home.

As far as my novel goes, I've been editing since finishing the second draft. I finished my "by-line" edit at 1:30 in the morning. Basically what by-line means, is that I implemented all of the grammatical edits that my beta readers pointed out, and made a list of all the plot points and additions that I need to make. Four pages of plot additions/changes stand between me and a finished third draft. After that draft, I'll do another read through, implement any changes I see that need to be made, and give it to a few final beta readers. Then I'll implement those changes and do a final read through. After that? Submission to literary agents! This is my sixth novel and the first one that I'm publishing (fingers crossed). It's a long journey, but I know it'll be worth it. I look forward to what the future has to hold, and won't stop believing (don't stop...believin') in my writing.

Until next time,

Elysia

Don't Be Average

You will have people in your life that don't believe in you. They'll say that what you want to do isn't accomplishable, that you have to be in a different phase of life, or live in a different place, or be a different person to do big things. You can't let them get to you, because the majority of people don't know how to do anything else besides live like everybody else lives. If you want to live and be like everyone else, then listen to them. Listen to them tell you that you can't do what you want to do. Listen to them tell you that you should just do what everybody else does. If you listen, then you'll end up living like the majority, but you'll probably always watch the minority--that 2%-- live and do things that nobody else can, and wish that you hadn't listened to the doubters in your life. If you don't want to be like everyone else, then go your way. Follow your dreams. Do what's impossible. Don't be average.

A Dream

I've always dreamed big, and I've always believed that you can accomplish anything that you put your mind to. Hence my creation of Inspire Thread Company! I try to keep my dreams close to me--pictures of things that I want to one day achieve on my walls, inspiring quotes, etc--because I believe that if you look, or listen to something that you want, you're much more likely to achieve it. I didn't come up with this. It's largely impart to videos like The Law of Attraction. One thing that's a great way to keep your dreams close, is to write out what you want. So, if you want to humor me, here's one of my dreams about my writing office.

I dream of a house by the water with windows all around it. I think the house will be yellow. It will have a huge office on the second floor with a big, curved white desk. There will be bookcases all around the room with hundreds of books. Prints will cover the walls with my favorite quotes on them, and the floors with look like flooring from an Anthropologie store. There will be a fireplace for when it's cold, and I'll open up the big windows all around the room when it's hot. The breeze off of the water will float in through the windows. I'll spend my time here writing, reading, and being creative.

I'll post a photo when I have my dream office :)
