Hello My Friends,
Being Sick Sucks!! You think being sick I could get a lot of writing done, but my head was so cloudy I couldn’t think straight. But Yesterday and Tonight I got back to work.. I feel like my books are taking forever.. WAIT they are… Editing them takes a lot of time and I am not sure if they are even good to anyone but me. I really wish I had a some one I trusted to read them and edit for me. But every one I know is really busy. And have things of thier own they keep putting off..
So please bear with me. Though it is a slow process it is well worth the effort. (I think) with every edit and addition I make the better the book gets and the more I thing you all will like it. I am gonna work very hard for the next several months of the year to finish at least one of the three books I am mainly working on. Right now it looks like the book will be “A Crimson Star” or “Miracles Still happen Today”
To be honest “Miracles Still Happen Today” is harder to write because I get all emotinal when I remember the past. And the people I ask for references take a long time to get back to me. But it will get done eventually.. The other books I am working on are much easier to write, due to the fact they are 100% fiction… And thus what ever comes to mind is ok..
So bear with me and pleas support me by at least rerading what I post here and giving me feed back.
Thank you!!

My Daily Plan
So far my Schedule is working good. I am not following it exactly but it has been a good way to stay organized. Since I could not find a templet online I made my own. Here is a blank copy for you to use.. You didn’t think I would show you mine did you?? Sorry I think things like that are personal. I hope this will help you as much as it has helped me.
My Daily Schedule blank It is in Word format 2003 with 2007 compatibility package. You should be able to open it fine. There is no virus.. (That would be really lame of me to send a virus when I am posting to share.)
God Bless you!

Quick News – Aug 16th 2010
Hello,
I just wanted to drop in real fast before bed and let you know what is going on. I am starting my new schedule this week. Keep me in your prayers pleas.. I am working on having more self discipline and it has been hard. To many life distractions. So I am praying this will be successful!
When I can, I have been typing in my edits this past week. Of “The Princess and the Mirror” though it has been a slow process.. I seemed to have lost my 2 main usb drives.. But thankfully that does not matter since I an typing up the edits from a hard copy.. I still hope to find my spare work files soon though.
Other then that I am gonna try and post more examples of my work as I go. “Gabbles” as I am told they are called now and other things.. If you want to know anything please ask me here or on my Forum Spring linked on the side.
Good night, and sleep well,
Amy Jane

I am Home again.
Howdy Folks,
How are you doing? I am home again. I have been home for a little bit. As soon as I got home I caught a bad cold that lasted almost three weeks on and off. I am all better now. I have been trying to get adjusted to the time and schedule again. It has been pretty hard. But I have a plan. (Yes, another one) I am gonna start it tomorrow. I wrote up a schedule and I am gonna work hard on following it. I pray with this I will use my time more efficiently.
On my trip I printed my books “The Princess And the Mirror” and my Short Story “A Knight All Along” I got a lot done with both. I have not had the time to type up the edits yet. However I am still working on them. “A Knight All Along” Is turning out to be as long as a book. I may make it one latter. I am pushing it back a bit on my list of things to do.
Since I have my other 3 Books “Miracles Still Happen Today”, “A Crimson Star”, and “The Princess and The Mirror” that need to be finished first.. It is a good project. When I get stuck it keeps me going but it is not a main project as of yet.
Anyways, I am still working on my books. I am going to work harder. I will give up some things to get them done if need be. I am trying really hard not to get distracted with life.. I am not Dating on purpose though I did want to. I decided when the time is right things will fall into place. God’s timing is best.. If you have any questions for me you can ask here http://www.formspring.me/AnjiuS anonymously or not. I would be glad to try and answer them for you.
Make sure if you have faith in God to go here too. http://deeplyrootedinhim.wordpress.com
God Bless you, Good night!

Getting things done.
Hello Friends,
Here is a very quick update, I do not have stable net every day.. Nor time online.
Alaska is proof God is real…. The beauty alone is testament to it.. On top of that we have had non stop Favor.. People, Places, Finances, weather, and even animals…. All I can say is wow… God is always good. I know it but If my family were not so far away I would be extremely tempted to move here..
More over I am working on my books daily I printed 2 and have edited them, and I have written new pages… ❤ So though I am on a somewhat vacation. Being a maid of Honor is work but well worth it. My books are not suffering but instead getting more attention.
Take care, Hugs!!

Quick Note- Promises kept
Hello My Dear Friends,
As you may know I am slow to do everything I say I will do.. -pokes books-
But I want you to know I keep my promises. I feel very strongly about keeping your word once you give it.. I am bad at keeping promises to myself though. So here is the update with me…
2 books in progress printed by me and watter marked. So I can take them with me to work when I am bored… Who knows I may write a few more chapters. It worked out the other day when I wrote the second chapters and a half while waiting at the doctors.. The thing I hate is typing it all up, but that just makes my work better I noticed…
Also I have copy rights to them too. Thank you Mr Post man!! So do not think of stealing my work.. Not that you would..
I leave Sunday for my trip.. And I will be co hosting a party tomorrow (All day I am afraid) So I will sleep on the plane probably..
The good news is I posted Chapter two of “A Knight All Along” just before this so make sure you go read it if you like it.. It is now officially 10,000 words… And almost the same as one of my books so it may end up a book after all. Nonetheless, for now I will still share it with you, my friends..
Since I have a usy day and -pokes my bed- still a lot of packing to do I am gonna call it a night and I hope to post updates when I get back with some lovely images for you all. Please make sure to leave me feed back. Thanks!!
Lots of Hugs,

My Progress report -lots to do-
Hello, Hello,
There is so much to do and so little time and yet I keep wasting the time I have, I am very mad at myself about that. Darn facebook.. I am quitting many games for a while and keeping select few.. But all will be on a break for a while soon.
Lets see, where shall I start… I think I lost the editor.. I have not heard from her in a month.. Which is ok.. I am really sad about it but, hey what can I do..
The book “A Crimson Star” needs to be changed to first person and will be a huge undertaking.. At least I needs a serious re-examination.. I wish I had more feed back on this one but NO one is willing to read it here.. This is frustrating. It is not because they do not like my work. But because no one wants to read it before it is finished.. I could use some tips here. Also I am still suck on some major plot keys so it is ok to just let this one sit while I think more.. Or until I have a revelation..
So I have been working on my short story “A Knight All Along” still not sure on the name.. It is so popular, that it may end up being a book.. We shall see. It is a side thing…
In the mean time I have been working on my walk of faith, complete facts. “Miracles Still Happen Today” and the book I started when I was 16 and re-wrote three times.. “The Princess and the Mirror”. My mother has not gotten back to me on the facts I asked her to look over in “M.S.H.T.”so I have been working on other chapters.. As for the “P.&t.M” My main concern were some names and the flow. So I edited the first few chapers again and am now working on new chapters.. I think I deleted – reworded- more words then I had meant to. And I lost over 1k words… But that will be easy to make up as I work more..
“I am also when stuck on the other three working a little on “Musical Mishap” and “My Velvet Room” not to be confused with one of my most favored books to read. “The Velvet Room”
That is all for now, Please leave me feed back. I am sorry I have not posted more of my work, but I am so worried it will be stolen that I just can not bring myself to it right now. Especially when I am changing little things still… Maybe I will add it and Password protect it latter.. We shall see when I get back..

Ps. 13 days till I leave for 2 weeks..

Quick Note
I am still waiting on my Editor’s reply and my Mother’s input on my facts.. While waiting I have been working on revising my short story and writing more of it. Plus editing some fan fictions.. Several are still on hold. And I am sorry to all who have been waiting…. I hope I can remember the plots and get back to them soon.
I also Decided that no matter what my editor says about my book, I should convert it to first person again.. Which I am not looking forward too.. It is 77pages right now and 16 thousand words……. Not as much as another book on the far back burner.. But It will be a huge chore.. AT least there is a lot of talking so not all of it has to be changed.. Still I am on the edge of my seat waiting for her reply!! I am not good at waiting…….
So I have been having a lot of trouble thinking and working on my other books.. Not good, I need to relax more… (Maple story is not so Good at that) ;p
But thanks to reading some one else’s novel in progress from an editor’s point of view, I have found some clarity and some writing passion again.. Yet I have to go play maple… I promised a friend lol.. TOMORROW I WORK!!!
Ps. Today is my presious nephew’s Birthday!! I had a plan and I failed to follow through.. I need to go it soon.., You will see what I want to do for him and the family latter!
Love you all, I mean it!!
