Whaaa?!
How is it that Script Frenzy starts in two days?!
February Pessimist Joy says, “Why did you wait until I get home from work to start watching TV, when you haven’t done anything but sit home all day? And when you know Jake and I want to watch Sparticus…which starts at 7…”
Optimist Joy (who I’ve dubbed Optimist Prime) says, “How thoughtful of you to take away the distraction when I know I should be...

Just wrote out...
…my “to do before I leave for Florida” list. On a piece of yellow construction paper. Because it will be easier to find while I am checking things off. Isn’t that optimistic of me?
I’m trying my best to stay positive. My lack luster performance at optimism for the past month and a half has left me pretty darned pessimistic. I plan on turning a 180 and really...

Slow and steady...
Work has been busy lately. But now that the half-days are over-with, I can concentrate a bit more on my story (which seems to have veered slightly off course). It frustrates me to look back at my story notes and see a large chunk of my outline…not in my story. Don’t my characters realize that I worked hard to plan out their lives for them???
I’m sad that I haven’t been...

A hiatus from tumblr...
…probably means that I’m getting things done. Like writing. But instead, it’s because I’ve felt half dead all week long and I’ve spent my spare time nursing a headache and trying not to sneeze myself into oblivion — I wonder if you could really do that…
But I do have some good news! It’s Sparticus Day! And tomorrow is writer’s group! I...

Only 23 usable hours in the day...
I have too many things to do, to have an hour taken away from my weekend. Ugh. Mom got me my luggage today. I bought lime green luggage tags to match. Hopefully, I won’t be able to miss my stuff on that silly conveyor belt at the airport. Just in case though, I want to get a really obnoxious sticker to plaster on the back or the side. It’s a soft-sided suitcase though, so maybe a...

Ugh...
…I’m so far behind schedule. With work, being sick, Ginny, and getting things situated, I can’t seem to get in any good, solid writing time. I suppose that this is one of the reasons why I’m looking forward to writing group tomorrow. I really want to make up for my lackluster performance this week. I’m pretty stoked that I have that 7 hour block (actually,...

Writer's Group today! Yay!
I’m totally stoked to get a lot of writing done. I think that if I keep my current pace all throughout this month, my word count should be sufficient enough that I don’t feel like hiding my head in a hole when it comes time to turn it in.
I started my new story (Neither This Noir That) and it seems to be going well. I summarized it for Jake and he’s pretty stoked for it as...

I just died for approx 2 mins...
So I was filling out the chart that was sent to me by my YoCW group. I put in the word count total from my 2 hr writing session today (which was 1k less than yesterday). I was sad about that to begin with but when I looked at the calculated stats, it said: “At this rate you will complete: NEVER” in bright red letters. I just about died until I realized that the column that I posted...
