You guys will love this story. It's about a girl who has some issues. They say that the first step to fixing an issue is admitting the problem. Well, in this case, this particular girl I know freely admits that she is a procrastinator. But now, it has almost cost her dearly. It almost deprived her of one thing that she immensely enjoys doing. But this story, is a success story.

Know who it is yet??

Fine. It's me. So I find out about the Epics Contest in June. I think of an idea, I write a page to a page and a half. And then I go to Tennessee for a few weeks. But when I come back, the storm hits (aka, volunteering three to four hours a day plus work plus an online class) and limits my time. I will admit that I did have time but I just felt... meh. You writers know how it is. You just don't feel inspired and don't feel at all like writing. So anyway, August rolls around and Bzp comes back online. Even then, I barely worked on my entry. Only when I had about a week to go did I actually start writing in earnest. Well, not even then was I incredibly concerned. But Friday night, Saturday night, I stayed up late and worked. I had one more segment to go when it came to Sunday.

So I go to church in the morning and get back..... at 2:30/3:00 in the afternoon. (My dad was talking to someone.) Then I have school to do and can't spend all my time writing. I do as much as I can (typing up all I had handwritten) and then I have youth group. Not good, right? I enlist my mom to help finish typing up what I'd written while I'm gone. When I finally get back around 8:45, I fly.

When I finally enter, it's 11:00 on the dot (the exact time of the deadline). *Sighs in relief*

So now if you read Determination Forever, remember the story behind it. And maybe refrain from commenting on grammar mistakes. Trust me, I know they're there, I just can't edit it.

But please, please support Determination Forever in Epics Contest 8 if you really think it deserves it!!!!
