The Return of the Author

Hello everyone! How are you? This is LaVel Moorehead: writer, reader, and book blogger extraordinare. It's been long, too long that I've been gone from this blog...but no more. There's been so much that' happened to me these past few months and I can't wait for all the good things that will happen this new year. Are you ready? Let's go! :D
First of all, I need to apologize. I told everyone that I would update this blog every day and I didn't. I've been dealing with my own demons this past fall semester at the University of Maryland, College Park. I had a bout of depression last semester tothe point that I stayed in bed for some days because I didn't want to get up. It was a dark, dark place. I didn't stay in contact with friends and I gave up activities that I loved. I felt hopeless, that I didn't have what it took to learn at a prestigious university. But you know what? There's a reason that I'm here, a reason that I received a full academic scholarship at the University of Maryland. It's because people believed that I had the smarts to take on the challenges AND opportunities that this great university affords. So you know what? No more whining, no more complaining. It's time to embrace the future! ^__^
Right now, I'm in the middle of a novellette titled "The DNA of Souls." What's that, you ask? It's a science-fiction/adventure story involving humans and...cyborgs. 0__0 Yes, cyborgs, I didn't stutter. I hope to finish it this weekend, but it's based on the workload I have for college. I'm excited to write this story and I can't wait to share it with y'all!
I hope y'all are having a great week. I am! I just started my first day of spring semester. It's going to be exciting, I can tell you that.
Well, I will have another blog post up on the book I'm reading titled "The Midnight Disease" by Alice W. Flaherty. It's all about...WRITER'S BLOCK. You don' want to miss this. Stay tuned! :-)
