I bought a domain today! =D I’m still being hosted by Daniella, so not much else has changed besides that, but it’s still super exciting! So, don’t go updating bookmarks because I’m still being hosted in the same place, I was just excited and thought that I’d mention it.
Also! If it isn’t blaringly obvious, I have a new layout for Absurd Tuna! Yay! Fun! I edited it slightly to suit my own needs, but a link to the original creator is down below and in the credits section!
So, what’s been happening these last few days? Nothing much. I’ve been feverishly looking over the thirty-pages of manuscript that I have for my book idea, fixing it back, making edits to make the story flow easier, and fixing dumb mistakes. It feels crazy to say that I have thirty pages of manuscript and the story has just gotten started. I know that there is a lot that’s going to have to be fixed, but so far its just it’s first, rocky draft. It’ll need to be fine-tuned and such once that I finish with it.
The hardest part about this is that, without giving too much away of what it is, it’s a rewrite of a story that’s already out there. Well, not really a rewrite as much as it’s a modernized version. I’m looking over the original and noting important plot points and trying to figure out how to bring it to a modern audience and still have the same feeling that the original did. I don’t know how good of a job I’m going to do, but I am trying my hardest and trying not to make too many creative liberties.
Anyway, sorry that I’ve talked about the book-in-progress for two posts now. I just hope that the interest doesn’t dwindle. I can imagine writing another 30 pages and stopping for another year with it. I don’t want that to happen.
Oh yeah! I’m also going home this weekend! Fun! I’ll get my GPS system from my parents and will get lost less.
Well, until next time!
Nice new layout! It’s cute!
And yay for getting a new domain! <3

Too bad you didn’t get to go home. But you’re gonna get a GPS? That’s very handy. You can go explore and always find your way back, lol
