    Kissme_69 Is better than everr. <3 =)

    Untitled 1 day ago

    Im actually taking a break from writing. I have about four short chapters, and I need to add more detail.

    I havent decided if I want to change names or not…It is an autobio, but some of the people I know would destroy me because I would be telling all their secrets.

    Idk.

    Advice?

    Kissme_69 Is better than everr. <3 =)

    for some reason... 4 weeks ago

    Some odd reason, I want to write about my life…I don’t know if its because I need to accept it or if Im just bored and want to write…or maybe its the fact that I want to be understood…Most people don’t understand the way I do things.

    Writing is not something Im good at. So if I do write a book it will never be published, If it is published then no one would buy it. My life isnt exciting, I havent had some hard times, Just drama with friends and I’ve had a few deaths in my family, thats all. But I still have the urge to write it.



    Ameyami is back on 43T, after far too long

    Woah, long time! 1 month ago

    I’ve just noticed that it’s been 9 months since I last updated this goal! In that time, my word count has more than doubled, and now stands at 93,000. The big 100,000 is fast approaching.

    I’ve documented so much of my life, but there is also so much that I still haven’t. I said towards the start of 2009 that I was going to aim to have this goal completed by the end of this year, but I now realise this is not possible. I think I can have all the content finished and edited by the end of 2010 if I keep working at it, but since I intend to write the entire thing up by hand, I can’t see this goal being truly complete until at least 2012. I am enjoying it though, and I’m really proud of myself for sticking it out this long. When I started this goal I wasn’t sure whether I could make it last, or if it would just get neglected after the first few thousand words, but I’ve achieved a lot and I’m glad that I haven’t given up.

    So in summary, I’m still just plodding along!

    Is this incredibly vain? 8 months ago

    I am sure no-one is really interested but I have some diaries that I wrote and I have had quite a dramatic life. I would like to write it for my children but most of it will be unsuitable reading….

    I still haven’t done much about it, besides Instant Journals bought at bookstores.
    Another time I suppose.

    It's been several months... 11 months ago

    ...since I last updated this goal, but it’s nice to see that a few other people have added entries in that time.

    Throughout most of the year I’m too busy to dedicate much time to writing, but this is one of the rare few periods where I do. My word count is currently about 42,500 and I’m hoping to be somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 by the end of the holidays.

    I’m placing less emphasis on editing and organising my writing at the moment. I’m jotting down memories as they come to me and I will structure them and fill in the gaps at a later date.

    I’m hoping to have this goal complete by this time next year.



    Untitled 12 months ago

    I think the first step for me is going to be a general outline + stories I want to be sure to include.

    I already keep a diary... 12 months ago

    ... so an autobiography would just be one big summary of my diaries. Well-written, hopefully. I don’t write much so it’d be good practice.

    As I grow older, I find that I lose memories of special events, objects, people, etc. and I want this to not only help me with my identity, but also with my memories.



    llong is growing slowly but surely

    OK, update.... 13 months ago

    .....up to 26,000 words. I’d like my final autobiography to be around 65,000 to 70,000 words. However, by final I mean final. Hopefully a few more chapters of life remain.
