Dear Blog

Dearest blog and faithful followers, are you still there?

I am ever most pleased to find that my blog remains intact after nearly a year of neglect. As for my meager gathering of followers, their survival remains to be seen. Assuming you are still there and if you followed the directions from my last post (posted in NOVEMBER of last year) you assumed that my unfinished novel ate me. Alas, assumptions are dangerous and often tend to contain only shreds of truth. As for the assumption that I most recklessly suggested that you make, it does contain a bit of the truth. My novel, as of now, remains unfinished. I however, was eaten by a different beast entirely. Schoolwork. After surviving a most difficult digestion and being spat back out at the end of the school year, you should be glad to know that I have utilized the most auspicious time of the year endearingly called "summer" to recover from the harrowing experience.

The event that has returned my attention to the blogosphere was the creation of a blog by my dearest sister in Christ, Sarah. She's awesome so check her out at http://catholiclovin.blogspot.com/ I know she'll be absolutely thrilled to find out that she has an audience. ;)

A Wonderfully Sad Occurrence

Welcome back! I'd like to say that if you're reading this I'm impressed at your faith in me returning to this blog. I seriously contemplated leaving it to sit and rot, but once I visited it for the first time in months I decided that it was to pretty to waste... anyways, how was your summer? Mine was excessively busy and filled with wonderful summerness. And what says summer more than reading? Yes, I filled my summer to the brim with books! Besides volunteering at the library I took it upon myself to find as many well written and thought provoking books as I could.  The only problem is that many of these books are tragedies or just plain sad books. Not completely depressing and demoralizing books, just books that make the average reader want to cry and rage at the author for killing or seriously maiming an otherwise lively and wonderful character. They all turn out being wonderfully bittersweet books if you read all the way to the end. Books where your favorite characters die, or have their best friends killed but in the end everything ends up being alright. Not completely happy and cheerful and perfect, but just okay. Ending up in a place with enough loss, heartache, love, and adventure that you can imagine the surviving characters going on to hopefully have another heartrending adventure.

But alas, summer is over, and at present I have not been able to do any reading other than what has been assigned to me for school. Autumn has finally fallen and I must return to doing autumny things. Until next time (I promise to come back!) I remain,

PS Due to lack of government funding, the program "Six-Word Journal" has been removed from your irregular blogging. If you miss it, or would like to see its return, please contact your local or state representative.

Summer!

As you may or may not have noticed, I'm taking a break from blogging. With school wrapping up and preparing for all my summer activities I have been quite busy. I'll try to pick up again once everything returns to normal and I'm not six-feet under my many to-do lists. Thus ends my first month of blogging...
TTFN,
Little Flower
