Update for the past half month:

Hello,

I have been reading a lot lately, and watching a lot of inspiring films. It's funny, because I've grown a lot as a reader over the past year. And then I talk to kids my age and they don't know the difference between John Green and David Levithan. I don't read any of them anymore, and I know all of that stuff. It's kind of sad at the same time, all kids want to read is this weird new wave of vampire literature. Don't get me wrong, I see why that might be attractive. But there is so much good teen literature out there. Read it. Devour it, kids. Then pick up "Catcher in the Rye" and join me in the world of American literature.

Anyways: my writing.

New story idea and coming right out of the darkness. It started as just a faint idea, and now is really taking shape. It's from the point-of-view of a boy named Matt, and it's pretty good. Kind of "All We Ever Needed"-esque, but I'll stick it into a new catagory.

I am really happy actually, because I'm departing from that whole emo-love-story thing. And I'm name-dropping a lot less music in my writing, which always helps. I am happy people are reading my stuff too. I have a new wave of readers, and they're all pretty quiet, but I'm given more free range.

I can't get into Peter's point-of-view, either. Freaky.
