It seems that I have been suffering from something that NanoWrimos call "the decembers." It's much like a sickness, but it affects your mind. I have not written anything creative since the last post of mine on the first of December. I feel as if writing that novel in the month of November drained me of my creative reserve. In an attempt to retain some creative writing in my life, I decided to edit that very same novel and publish it through CreateSpace. It is a self-publishing website and will allow me to sell the book online through it. I was hoping to finish the editing before the end of February, but if my friend, who currently has my printed off copy of the novel, takes too long to read it over, I fear that it might take longer than I wish. Anyhow, I will try to finish that as soon as possible, and once I do finish editing it, I will post the link to the CreateSpace website where you can purchase the novel.
I will also try to post short stories here and there, hopefully finishing some stories that I never got around to finishing for different reasons, such as "Knife Life" and "Autumn" (which is an older one, I believe.) I have about a month off from school, so I don't quite know how my writing will do. I tend to write more at school (seen by the amount of posts in September and October), but I do have more time for writing now. There are also a couple projects I have been thinking about starting, but I think I should finish my old ones first! The projects are recently inspired and include the following ideas: a boy who judges and loses, a criticism of a racist Quebec, and a short story adaptation of a music video (always fun.) The music video is Marianas Trench's "Haven't Had Enough." I actually analyzed the video with my friend the other night in an attempt to aid her with her essays. I find that it is very well put together, but I digress.
Below you will find a poem that I pieced together from poetic bits I found in a notebook of mine (written by me). Perhaps poetry can pull me out of this dump, so to speak.
Till next time, Kuna Zero.

Single Tear
If a single tear were to fall from my eye,
Let it be from our eternal good-bye.
One kiss, it seems, is all I need,
To be trapped in an eternal glee.
But the truth is too hard to see,
Knowing him, I'll be forgotten soon.
He took you from me,
And now I am alone, as the single tear falls.
-Zero
