the second set of edits on book #2, Slew Foot, were successfully typed in their entirety with the conclusion of last night!\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be heading out shortly to get a hard copy printed, then I&#8217;ll start circulating it between my faithful set of beta readers!\u00a0 If that goes well, the chapter one previews of potentially all three books will be posted soon!<\/p>\n<p>Wait, three books?\u00a0 Yeah, you read that right!\u00a0 The third one, which I finished a short while back, is a bit different &#8212; I&#8217;m toying with using 3rd person instead of 1st.\u00a0 It&#8217;s also unlike the first two in the sense that one character does not have a separate chapter each time.\u00a0 I think it <em>may<\/em> be my favorite of my three books so far.\u00a0 It&#8217;s about a girl from Ibiza, Spain, and a boy from Cadaqu\u00e9s, Spain.\u00a0 They both live in London, but they certainly haven&#8217;t forgotten their Spanish roots!\u00a0 The best part of it all?\u00a0 It&#8217;s helped inspire my huge vacation next year!<\/p>\n<p>See, I&#8217;ve always wanted to take a nice 2-3 week vacation, and ever since I got into Arsenal, I really wanted to see a match.\u00a0 Fast-forward a bit, and I&#8217;m heading to see Arsenal vs. Norwich City in May 2012!\u00a0 Even better, though?\u00a0 I&#8217;m leaving London the very next morning to hop onto a flight to Barcelona, Spain!\u00a0 I&#8217;ll catch the Barcelona vs. RCD Espanyol at the Nou Camp!\u00a0 I have a confession to make &#8212; I became a Cul\u00e9 (that&#8217;s a Bar\u00e7a supporter, for those who aren&#8217;t aware!) when choosing my La Liga team.\u00a0 Also, my favorite Arsenal player signed with Bar\u00e7a just a few weeks ago, so of COURSE I want to see him play!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll spend 4 days, including that one, in the beautiful city, and one of those will include a field trip to Figueres to see the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum, and I&#8217;ll spend part of that same day taking a field trip to Cadaqu\u00e9s to see where Salvador grew up.\u00a0 I&#8217;d like to see his house in neighboring Port Lligat (Portlligat) and I can&#8217;t wait to see the huge statue of him on the beach in Cadaqu\u00e9s!\u00a0 I know you want to see it, too, <a title=\"Salvador Dal\u00ed statue in Cadaqu\u00e9s, Spain!\" href=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/7\/78\/Salvador_Dali_-_Statue_-_Cadaques_-_Spain.jpg\/1024px-Salvador_Dali_-_Statue_-_Cadaques_-_Spain.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">so here&#8217;s a teaser picture from Google Images!<\/a>\u00a0 I am beyond excited for that!<\/p>\n<p>So after my beautiful Spanish trip, I&#8217;ll (grudgingly) head back to London, then spend 8 luxurious more days enjoying everything that London and the surrounding area can offer!\u00a0 I want to try to make it to Stratford Upon Avon, I want to see the Globe Theater &#8230; it&#8217;ll be so exciting!\u00a0 I have a hostel picked out in Barcelona, but have yet to actually decide on my London digs yet.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s my trip, though!\u00a0 I&#8217;ll leave Pittsburgh on May 3rd in the afternoon, then leave New York City (my first time ever there!) late that night so I can get in a nice sleep, and wake up to London calling!\u00a0 Yes, I couldn&#8217;t resist \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s all for now!\u00a0 I&#8217;m going to head out to Kinko&#8217;s and get my book printed up, then I&#8217;ll be coming back to get things together and get the first chapters of my books ready to post!\u00a0 I may post a poll for you all to say which you like best &#8212;
