Now that the school is finally over, I have already booked the whole summer vacation, dedicating myself to writing a lot of things. Each day planned, what to write, what to finish. Have to remind myself to bring a notebook and a pen with me every time I have to leave the house. Read and write, watch TV, be inspired. Guh.
I am trying to busy myself with the Theodore Project, and the Diary Project. I also have to start a blog for my web serial novel, but, I guess most of them are going to wait for a moment and I'll have to do it one at a time. Or else, they'll just crash on top of me!
But anyways, not much happening in our household. Except maybe that I might be moving to Canada this year. I'll probably post more about it when I have more details. I only know that I made my decision to go there. Hoo, boy.

The Theodore Project
Heartstrong (or whatever its future title it will be) is a science fiction drama story (but not a lot of drama) aimed for a young audience (kids, maybe?). It can be a really, really thick novel, or a trilogy. I've been writing it since I was eleven (twelve, maybe), so that was a long time ago, and the story--since back then my writing really sucked--has went through many changes, rewritings, trials, different cheesy titles, themes, et cetera.
The basic plot (so far) is about a brilliant but sickly young boy who is forced to train in a space school with a couple of other kids for a war that will come years later. He is trained normally...until the authorities have learned that the boy is the product of two powerful family lines intertwined together. The boy, then, is forced to pull out from the school and, with his grandfather, his last surviving relative other than his exiled father, decides to hide from the Imperium, a small group of scientists who are researching about foreign extraterrestrial life, and are out to get the boy for his unique alien bloodline. But as time pass on, the war looms closer, and the boy must make decisions. Will he help save his home planet and surrender himself to the authorities, or continue to run away?
There's actually more to this, but let's stick with the really, really basic premise.
And now, here is an excerpt of the draft I'm currently working on (oh, it better be the draft). It's nothing special, really. It's just...a part of the draft of the novel.
