Where have I been? (An explanation, apology and poll)

Writer's picture: Autumn GraceAutumn Grace



Since it's been almost a month since I last posted on my blog, I figured you deserved an explanation. A glance at the cover photo for this blog post might give the false impression that I've been on a trip, the Rocky Mountains perhaps, or maybe the Swedish Alps...

My brother suggested that I answer that I have been in the region of perezoso (lazy, and yes, we are taking Spanish), but that is not true...not at all.

The fact is, I have been working on a new book, and I am afraid that it has quite taken up my time. This book has taken me to Alp and Rocky-like mountains...all while sitting on my couch or at my desk. (Writing is awesome like that.) Several months ago, I started writing a different book, Rangers N' Rays II, but my heart wasn't really in that one, and I struggled and struggled to get words out. Some of you may remember that I complained about NaNoWriMo. Well, that was the book that I was trying to write, and it just wasn't happening.

Finally, I decided that it was time for me to begin writing the sequel to my fantasy novel that I finished in the fall of '24. Three weeks ago, I began planning the book. On the 3rd of February, I started writing it, and I have to admit that I totally got washed away in the world that I had created. Since then, I have written over 21 thousand words in the novel, and with each daily (or bi-daily) writing session, the themes and heart that belong to this world grow even more strong...

And that is the confession. I've gotten a couple lovely emails, asking where I've been, and I decided it was time for an explanation and an apology. I hope to be able to start writing my blog again soon, but for the present moment, I'll probably still be spending a lot of time on the novel. In the meantime, I'd love to know what you would like to continue hearing about on my blog. I've have been a bit short on ideas lately and seeing what you enjoy reading would interest me a good deal.


What would you like to read about?

  • Movies

  • Books

  • Music

  • My poetry

You can vote for more than one answer.


By the way, in case you were wondering, I've finally gotten names for my fantasy books. For a while, I just called them Alindell 1, Alindell 2 etc.


The names and covers for my series are below. :)




And the one I am working on now...




Until next time!

God bless.

YAYYY! I thought I might be going insane when my refreshing wasn't pulling up new posts, but I see I was not insane. Also, if you guys need help with Spanish or want to attempt conversing in Spanish, I'm in my third year so I might be able to help!! I really like it.

Wow! I'm glad that you were missing my posts! That makes me feel very nice indeed. We would love to speak with you in Spanish. we've been having a little bit of difficulty in that area, and I'm sure you would be helpful. We are also in our third year of Spanish, which doesn't say very much for the MANY curriculums we have tried out. :/

Hi, Autumn! I feel like, even if I didn't know anything about your topic, I would by the time I read what you wrote about it! I voted for all topics except movies just because I am not likely to watch that many movies. I'm so happy for you about your writing! It's great to hear from you again!

Thank you so much, Aunt Carolyn! I appreciate that. :)

Ok! I'll keep that in mind. I really don't know what to tell others to do in regards to photography; I just enjoy it.
