Today I continue to fill out my document with information that has yet to be molded into my story. I am eager to begin but I must be patient and let all my ideas out on paper. Today I also finally was able to put the picture of me and my mentor so it has been quite a productive 20% day.

I am proud to say that with the help of my book I am finally going to start writing. I'd rather not say what idea I've chosen encase I end up changing it, but I really think this is the one. I hope to use a method I've heard of to start off my story. This method is too write the first things that come to your mind about your story and don't stop. You can't stop. It is not the time to care about grammatical or spelling errors; it is the time to spill out the story in my heart.

This week I have been spending it on a book my mentor/teacher has given me as a gift hoping it would assist me with my project. I can not thank her enough on how much it has been helping me move it along and brainstorm many more ideas. I hope to get pictures of a couple of pages on this website once I get more into the book to help people understand my process.

This Friday I spent the period trying to get a hold of my mentor. I really feel like my mentor can help me detail my 5 month plan and even give me a second opinion on my ideas. Maybe some of the ideas I have thought of are unoriginal, too boring, or unrelatable? I need someone I can trust that will make sure to be brutally honest with me.

We are half way through the school year and I still cannot think of an idea that would be good enough. I'm going through a huge writers stump and I'm trying my best to record every idea that comes through my mind. Whenever I think of something worth writing I make sure to put it down in my phone and transfer it to my notes on my Chromebook. By the end of this month I hope to be able to choose the best idea I have and begin my writing. I need to make sure I leave myself with tons of time because I like to put my writing away for a week or so and see how I feel about it then. I like doing this because I begin to forget the story and I can feel more like a reader instead of a writer. That way I can easily see my errors and what I would need to add to the story. The process of writing is already long enough without having to brainstorm an idea so I hope inspiration hits me soon.
