Books and book -- I mean earth -- worms

About two weeks or so ago, me and my mom went out to watch The Greenhorns; a documentary about young farmers. I was already starting to get interested in farming thanks to Jenna and her blog, Cold Antler Farm, but watching that documentary was the last push I needed to really want to get into gardening and raising animals. I'm doing a bit of work in the garden currently, preparing beds to be planted with my dad, and cleaning up the yard a bit. Unfortunately, I was and am pretty out of shape -- not fat or anything, but I don't have much stamina. Hopefully that will change. At the moment, I'm focusing on plants, but someday I want to raise meat rabbits or maybe meat chickens. Lucky for us, one of our Unschooling friends knows a Homeschooler who keeps meat rabbits -- though it's her first year doing so. We'll see how this whole meat rabbit venture goes.

In any case, I suppose this writing blog may turn into a writing-and-farming blog.
That's probably for the best, though. Farming is, in my opinion, much more interesting then writing.

"Hey, what did you do today?"
"Oh I wrote some more of this plotline that I can't tell you about cause it has to be a secret"
"Cool"
"Yup"
"See you"
"Bye"

VS.

"Hey, what did you do today?"
"Oh, I planted three garden beds, took care of an egg-bound chicken and helped the first three sheep give birth. And took the pig to the butcher."
"Cool"
"Yup"
"See you"
"Bye"

Not to mention that there's a lot more to write about when it comes to farming then writing. Theoretically.

But that doesn't mean I won't be writing anything other then stuff about farming. In fact, while I was running out of steam a couple weeks ago, I've just started wanting to write again (which may or may not coincide with my computer coming back from the repair guys). I'm slowly working more on Thenew, not that there's much to do other then making up plotlines, which is fairly boring. However, I have started writing The Other Side of Shrae, and I plan to post each chapter up here as I write it. They'll be short chapters, though, and hopefully I won't have any major plotholes to fill. I don't want to be editing and re-writing chapters I've already posted.

I'll probably post the Prologue tonight. And hopefully I'll be able to write about a chapter or two a day. Who knows.

Here goes nothin'.
