I workded on a brainstorming word document. I wanted to be able to get my thoughts and ideas for this story organized in front of me so I would be able to understand and better tell the story. I wanted to make sure the events in my head could mesh together into one unified story. After that, I used one of my favorite websites to help me choose the apperence of my characters. I used the site www.deviantart.com, to help me find pictures similar to the characters I had in mind for my story.

Today I used the pictures and images from Monday to help create my characters. Today I focused on my main character, Avri. I wasn't able to finish the entire Character Profile. I was able to complete it to the general demeanor of my character. I had trouble trying to decide how different I wanted the two female leads to be. I knew I wanted Stacy to be popular and very outgoing, however, Avri was harder to characterize. I wanted to make sure that Stacy was the only person she could say was her friend. I also knew that I wanted her to be different than the other characters. More artistic, free, and open-minded than the other characters in the story.

I had alot of trouble today. My computer made it impossible for me to do anything. After completing my startup, I began to type my first draft. Within five minutes, I had used all the free disk space, so I had to continue writing my draft in my gmail account and emailed what little I had typed to myself. I spent a majority of the class trying to clean the desktop and my dosuments to make enough space for my paper. It was unsuccessful, so i had to begin typing from the start. I have decided i will now type on my wiki to avoid further problems.

Because of my computer malfunctions, I have decided to do extra work over the weekends. I hoping this will catch me up on some of my work and also ensure that I also don't fall behind. I like including alot of detail. Sometimes, I use to much detail and begin to ramble. This makes it harder to stay on the same track. I also consider different senarios and situations. I consider multiple ideas and angles to my stories, which makes it hard to tie all my loose ends together. I won't do anything major today. I want to add some more content to the first draft. After I complete 10-15 pages, I plan on reading through and completing my first revision.

I have been typing my first draft still. Woking on adding dialogue and meshing the components together.

Today I returned my first draft to Dayna so she could finish the peer edit she bagan on Friday. She also needed someone to peer edit her paper so she printed out her paper and I peer edited it for her. That took most of the day so when I finished and turned it in for a grade i only had 20 minutes til the end of the day. instead of trying to do something with my paper i read over the revisions dayna made and went bak through my email so that i could complete my missing daily progress updates. I was able to complete the progress updates for monday the 26th and wednesday the 28th.
