Over 2014, I've discovered many things about myself. Fears. Strengths. Milestones in my life. Etc. I've been planning to post this on the last of 2014 for almost three weeks. So let's see how it goes! Okay, I'm a special case when it comes to fear. Heights have no affect on me, I love the dark, being alone recharges me, storms relax me. Mice...well...yeah, I guess they're scary. Look at his face. Doesn't he look devilish? Like he's just relishing the opportunity to give me a disease. But I'm scared of... 1) People. Under certain circumstances, of course. For instance asking people personal questions, strange questions, or really any question at all that's not normal. (ex. I was scared to death to ask my uncle for an interview. Anyone remember the Life Skills assignment for interviewing four people?) I can talk to friends though, easily without feeling uncomfortable. 2) Babysitting. Children have energy. Maybe five times as much energy as me. And I'm not too good at multitasking. Hyper children running in all different directions wanting me to play games that require excessive amounts of energy that I don't possess at ten o' clock at night. That doesn't sound like a nightmare to you? Comes as a problem when I need money.... 3) Dogs. That I don't even need to explain... 4) Rebellious characters. Which I've had a lot of experience with lately....unfortunately. I'm working on these fears. :) Life skills has helped with that first one. And guess what, I actually managed to keep the house balanced when my mom was gone for a week! Granted, I had a major amount of help from my siblings and dad, but normally I would have gone insane. I'm crediting that fact, to God. The fact that I survived, not that I normally would have gone insane. Discoveries and milestones and the like: I've discovered that I'm a major introvert. I've bridged that gap between me and my characters. They talk to me...for the most part. *sideways glare at Ray* I love science. I possibly want to be a nurse someday because of this fact. Although, I'm kind of squeamish, I've found out. When somebody else claims to have the stomach bug, I kind of make myself feel nauseous or something like that. I'm not sure. I've begun to narrow down what I want to be in the future. It's a little complicated, so bear with me. For the first few years of my single life and quite possibly the first few of married life, I want to do missions. I would love to aid with people trapped in human trafficking. Possibly as a nurse. Depends on where God leads me. Once I have kids, I'll probably move back to the states. I love Colorado, so probably back here. Maybe I'll go on occasional missions trips with my family, but I'll probably mostly settle down. Maybe work on my writing and stuff like that. I got my braces off this year. I got "published" for the first time by writing an endorsement statement for Bryan Davis's The Seventh Door. Only 24 words, actually. But, hey! It's a start. I was a VBS worship leader for the first time and brought a couple of kids to Christ which was an awesome experience.
I shot a gun for the first time. I started a new story that I still can't think of a name for....Any ideas? Anyone? I'll do a post on it sooner or later. Maybe tomorrow. It's basically the longest book I've ever written at 130 pages and 34,889 words. I've found my new motto verse: Let this be written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord. ~Psalm 102: 18 Okay, and I'm going brain dead, on the phone with Rachel who is also going brain dead. It's about 40 minutes away from new year. I hope you all had an amazing 2014 and here's to a better 2015! What did you accomplish this year? Happy New Year!!!!!

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
