So...yeah.

Chapter 15 went up last Monday. I meant to start on Chapter 16 this Monday, but my muse didn't start cooperating with me until yesterday. I'm not sure if this chapter's going to be as hard to write as Chapter 15 was. I sure hope not. I really don't want to take a ridiculous four months to update again, but I do want to get this chapter right. We're nearing the end, guys! I have the rest of the storyline already planned out in my head, but I usually leave a little room for changes to certain scenes or little details as a write. It might not come out exactly how I envision it now, but I am going to stick to the basic ideas that I have in mind.

Oh, and a fun fact: Fifteen Chapters of LAL and my big red notebook is just a little less than half-full. That's over 27,613 words. Jeez. xD The average word count requirement for a novel is about 45,000 words. The average word count for a novella (short novel) is from 7,000 - 40,000 words. I guess LAL will forever fit into the novella category, unless I can manage to squeak by that 45,000 word count. Probably not. I can barely get my muse to choke out 1,000 words a chapter. xD

Oh yeah, and LAL's theme song is officially Arrival to Earth now. ♥

As for how life's been going, it's pretty okay. My house is still undergoing those major renovations and it's still a huge mess around here. Everything's so cluttered and I cannot wait for all of this to be over. Right now, my dad and the contractor we hired (who's the cousin of a friend that we know from church), are soundproofing the walls downstairs. That means we can actually experience our surround sound speakers and new Plasma Screen TV without bothering the neighbors. Yay! The thing I can't wait for the most is what's going to happen to my room, though. I'm in for a new bed and some new furniture, and hopefully a new TV by the end of the year.

Oh, and my Cosmos bloomed and my Alyssums sprouted this week. ♥♥♥ I actually need to by some fertilizer for my Chamomile plant, too. I thought it was on its last legs for a while, but it seems to be getting better. It's been cloudy these past few days. I wonder if it's actually going to rain soon. I don't think so, but I guess it's still possible.

Also, a big shoutout to Emmy, who's finally back on the wiki after being on hiatus for a while. So glad to have you back, Em! :D

Later lovelies,
