Well, I’ve been doing school. Physical Science is killing me but I’m plugging along; understanding more each day. I hope to finish highschool by March. If I’m lucky, I’ll be.done by February when Mom’s baby is due — but with the way things are playing out, I think it’s going to be closer to.March.
I’ve also been reading as much as I can. Along with keeping up on Book Ponderings, Katy’s and my book blog, I’ve been trying to write more reviews on my personal review blog, Reviews By Jane. Unfortunately, with how busy I’ve been with school, normal day activities, and trying to find time to write(explained further below), I haven’t been able to read as much as I’d like to. I can’t wait to be finished with school so I can read and write more. Only 3 more months! Hallelujah!
Another thing I’ve been busy with is writing. Katy and I have started a book currently called Scattered Tears and are spending every spare moment writing. Unfortunately I have less spare time than Katy — but like I said on the subject of reading, I can’t wait to finish school so I can use the hours I work on school for writing! Hopefully by summer or fall, we will be finished and going through the many editing processes that follow finishing the final chapter. Katy has been a WONDERFUL writing companion and I couldn’t imagine writing this novel with anyone else — she has so many great ideas and is really easy going when it comes to changing ideas and such. Its been so much fun and I can’t wait to see how the story ends!
I’m about to start a study on the book of 1 Timothy. I love this book of the Bible and can’t wait to read through it and study it!
Of course we are all anticipating the arrival of our next sibling — who mom really thinks is a girl. We are having a home birth, so that will be a new experience; and for the first time ever, I’ll be able to be there during the birth of the baby!
Well that’s about all that’s going on in my life right now. I can’t wait to go to Milton in a few weeks and go to one of my friend’s wedding, have a friend reunion, and have tons of fun! Hopefully we’ll be able to visit all our friends while we’re there(that means you, Mrs. J! We’ve GOT to get together!).
Anywho, that’s what’s going on in the life of Kait, a.k.a Jane, a.k.a Janie, a.k.a Annie, a.k.a Kat, etc etc.

Well, I’d say you’re one busy gal! I am really proud of you and Katy. When I was a girl I also wanted to be a writer. I remember starting a “book”. I think I wrote about 25 pages, front and back, on notebook paper. I even sketched out a book cover illustration! But I never finished it. I started out with a story idea but never thought it through and ran out of steam.
All I remember now is that the main character’s name was Jacy- (a name I thought I created, but a few years ago I heard of a girl named Jacy, though I think it was spelled differently)- and she was full of all the requisite teen angst. She desperately wanted a pair of in-style tennis shoes, basically Keds, and the cool thing was to have all your friends sign your shoes. Sadly, Jacy didn’t have enough friends to make her shoes look like those of a popular person…and yeah, it just gets worse. I’m really glad I ran out of steam on that one! But I’d give anything to have those pages back!
And yes, we do need to get together. When are you coming? The boys and I are leaving on the 17th to go to GA and will probably come back on Monday the 20th or Tuesday the 21st.

Wow that’s cool! We’ve written approx. six chapters and I, too, have made a cover for fun in Photoshop! Maybe I should show it to you…;-)
Well if you can’t get the pages back, you should write them again! Take what you remember and start writing again. It’s fun!
Ok, well we’ll be there at least the 18th through the 20th, but I don’t think it would be too hard to convince Dad to let us stay until Wednesday so we could see y’all. We really have no idea what days we’ll be up there — just that we’re going to Jeff and Alicia’s wedding! I’ll text ya as soon as we find out what’s going on!
By the way…I texted y’all the day you left from here or the day after or something; did you ever get it?

Wow. You got a lot going on. I know what your talking about with the whole “not having time to write” thing. Before my blog I would write in a journal consistently. I have five full journals because of it. But now that I’m out of school, into the “holiday” season I don’t have time for anything. I’m so busy I sometimes forget to write in anything.
