This month I started writing my book, again. I have already lost count of how many times I’ve tried to write this. This time I have an editor keeping me organized. This editor, a.k.a my mom, has me on a schedule, one chapter per week. So far it has been going well; I write a little every day and so far the reviews from my editor have been very good.

I know it’s not a good excuse but this is why I haven’t been posting a lot on this blog recently, so I’m trying to fix that starting today. This happens to me every once in a while, if I get distracted it gets a little difficult to start again. I just need to get organized again.

Thanks to the schedule that my editor set for me, I am now almost done with chapter three. I still have no idea how many chapters it will be or how much of the last eleven years will be included in each chapter. This is something I’ll figure out along the way; I just know that I want to write the story first or at least what I remember and then look for all the things I wrote during this time to compliment the story and to help me get the facts straight. This is exactly why I started writing everything.

I really want to say this is the last time I say that I started writing this book again. Next time I say I started writing a book, it will be my second book.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
