O no! Real life intrudes in 5... 4... 3...

*snicker* is it wrong that i think the title is cute? no, of course not

well, it's only the 6th, but it's probably time to prepare outlines and plot notes for Script Frenzy (see link to the right and down)... now, i'm not really all that focused on writing a screenplay or stage play, i'm much more of a novel writing kind of girl, i just thought it would be interesting to try... i've got a lot of ideas rushing around in my head, and i don't think all of them would fit in a book format

what sucks is that my summer classes start tomorrow...eww, i know, but it's only 2 classes, so it's not like i'll be totally swamped or anything... i just have to block off time to write my essays and make sure i read everything i'm supposed to while marking important passages and taking relevant notes... if i do that, then everything will be fine and i won't fail or anything

i've found a bunch of writing tip related podcasts on iTunes, which i'll listen to on my way to school... if you Google these people, then you'll find the websites... there's I Should Be Writing with Mur Lafferty, The Writing Show with Paula B, and the Creative Writing Podcast from americanwriters.com... these are all handy if you're looking to write a novel for the first time or if you're editing a manuscript... i really like Mur's, she talks about continuing to write after being rejected

have a happy week, people... hopefully it's not raining where you are... it is here, which means the birds haven't been around to swim in the little pond we have below our new fountain... i swear, there were like 10 birds either in the water or on a rock next to the water at lunchtime
