My story is done, though I turned it in a tad late. For some reason, I really like it. Maybe I should write happier stories more often. I don't know. I definitely took a different approach with this one; I've never written a love story like that before.
I think I just have a bad impression of love stories because they're always so dirty. Romance novels are trashy, and teen books like the Gossip Girl series are just stupid and promote impurity. Ugh. How annoying.
Yes, I admit to reading the Gossip Girl series when I was a small child. I'm not even kidding; I was probably too young to be reading those novels. I've never read a romance novel, but I'm pretty sure they're all trashy. Maybe I should read one just to see how bad it is and learn ways not to write.
Or maybe I'll just stick with Harry Potter at the moment, considering part one of the seventh movie is coming out in a few weeks. I've only read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows once, which is weird considering I've read the rest of them too many times to count.
Oh J.K. Rowling, you are such an inspiration to me.
Lauren and I are about to head to Bible study, so I'll end on this thought: the guest speaker at Stonebridge today talked about commitment and denying self. It was good. It brought this song to mind.
I walked away in silence
and threw myself upon the ground;
these words they burned inside me:
take up your cross before your crown.
Thrice - Weight of Glory
