Two at Once

Hello again!
It's been quite a while since I posted, but my 1 follower will probably be glad I'm back. Either that, or he's been dreading the day I'd post again, and will probably say as much in the comments. I posted a link on my critique community website (Critique Circle), so hopefully I'll get a few more followers.
Anyways, you may be pleased to know that I'm making progress in my book. Yes, it's taking forever, but I just finished Chapter 5. This is important to me because this is the farthest I've ever gotten in a book before. The two I'm working on right now will be the first ones I'll finish though. I am determined.
Anyways, I'm just talking about a technique that has worked really well with me. You know how sometimes you sit down to write, and you just can't make yourself do it? Well I've found a solution that works really well for me at least. I have two books. Chipper & Uppity, and Tears of Autumn. Well these two books are complete opposites. Chipper & Uppity is a funny book set in modern times about two friends named Chipper and Uppity. Tears of Autumn, although there is nothing too terrible (as in sex, violence, and language), it's kinda dark. They are both cool though.
Anyhow, I'm talking about how sometimes I'm just feeling too serious to work on Chipper & Uppity, or vice versa. It's nice to have two things to work on.
Also, I'm reading a book I thought you guys might enjoy. It is Life As We Knew It, by Susan Beth Pfeffer, and it's a pretty awesome book. It's about life after the moon gets knocked closer to the earth by an astroid. Miranda and her family must survive as the world crumbles around them. Yup, it's pretty neat, and you can find it here. The sequel, The Dead and The Gone follows a different character, and I personally find it to be an all around cooler book. There is a third book, but I have yet to read it. Anyways, I'm starting a new program called "Book of the Week". You can view it in the tabs above.
