Gone But Not Forgotten.
I promise my return to blogging will come sooner, rather than later.
Every day that I haven’t blogged, I have thought about the fact that I am a bad blogger and I need to get on here and type up just a little something to keep everyone coming back to visit me.
That hasn’t happened.
What can I say? I have lots of excuses.
1. It is the holidays. In retail, our biggest days of the year are coming. Black Friday is just a few days away. We are open (at my store) on Thanksgiving. I was supposed to be off. But I’m not anymore. Gap Inc’s prez, Old Navy’s prez, our zone prez, my regional and district manager’s are all coming to visit on the T-Day. Needless to say it has been stressed and super busy at work. Also, I have to say I have beeen obsessing too much about Twilight/New Moon in the time I have had off. Meaning: Re-reading the books, watching all the previews on YouTube daily, discussing the excitement constantly with some of my co-workers. And I suppose, I have just been tired and lazy too.
I promise. That will come to an end soon.
Now. I only have a few minutes, because yes. I am going back to work tonight after I have already worked a 9 and a half hour day. But I have been thinking. Now I know the whole vampire/supernatural thing is kind of overdone.
But since my last post. No make that my second to last, I have been thinking about myself. And writing. And my authority on vampires. And my love of YA books. Don’t worry, I really don’t want to copy Stephenie Meyer. But really, maybe if I ever write anything; it should be for young adults. Maybe, maybe not having a supernatural theme. I only say that because, hello I love it. (P.S. I used to never be into all this supernatural, sci-fi stuff.)
I think that what I really love about YA books is the way they take me back to that time, those years, of my life. First love, experiencing hard life-changing and maturing situations that age you. I remember my first love. I will never forget. I will never forget how I felt during high school. No, I did not love high school; I am not one of those that would go back and do it again in a heartbeat. But I remember growing up and learning about myself and learning about people and how they are. I remember the hard experiences (not that I had a rough childhood or teenage-hood ) and I remember the wonderful ones. And I am a memory person; not in the scrapbook way. But I am a thinker, and I am always re-evaluating myself and others and the past. And you know? I think I understand teenagers. And I might just be good at writing for them.
I don’t know. I think I am going to give this a shot. Maybe. Now I just need to find some time to do that in. Or make time.
Anyway. Back to work for now. I just need to make it through the next… oh… week. And then I promise I will be back with a “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” Review. Especially because I am making time to see it a second time on Sunday. But I will just say this: The book is, and will always be, better than the movie.
