Big party for Wendy

well, as some have seen, if they've been to Wendy's blog, she's reached the 20,000 word goal for Script Frenzy

YAY WENDY!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!

and now, i'll try and get a couple pages written before i go to bed... i'm kind of in the mood to kill someone off... writing-wise, not actually... well, actually i'm in the mood to kill off two people, and i'm going to, either tonight or tomorrow... then, comes the chapters with emotional realizations... those are always fun

Evil Tuesday

today was strange... and for the most of it i was laid up with a strange combo of a normal headache and a sinus headache... and it's started to come back, so i'm in a fair amount of pain right now

because of the weird headache, i barely got any writing done... but i got some done yesterday, and early yesterday morning... and right now i'm so not in the mood to go to class tomorrow, but we're starting to read something new so i should go... i'm just not going to enjoy it a whole lot

now... i think i'm going to take something and hope it goes away... i wish i could write some more without it hurting

Proof I'm a night owl

ok, this is just insane... it's right after midnight here and i've found my writing groove again... take that, Wendy... ok, kidding, but still, this is just strange... it's midnight, i have to be up at around 7:30am to get ready for class, and i'm away from my laptop until 3:30 in the afternoon

this really sucks... why can't i get the writing groove back when i get back from class?? it would be so much more convenient if i felt like writing when i knew i didn't have to be anywhere the next day... o well... long weekend's coming up, which means i have class Wednesday morning, then no class until the next Wednesday... wooooooooooooo

of course, i'm out of town on the week-end, but i'll be taking my laptop with me since i've made a deadline to finish my book, which is obviously a first draft of a manuscript... i'm aiming to finish by the end of August... but if i average 3 pages a day, it'll take me 22 or so days for me to reach my tentative page goal of 404, which is about 101,000 words... and that's about the middle of July... once i go back and add enough to get me to at least 22 pages a chapter, which'll give me 404 pages, then i'll start at the beginning and edit and review to my heart's content

unfortunately, this mid-July date is surrounded by 2 papers i'll have due... thank God one was moved to the 18th instead of me having both due on the 16th... ewwwww

i guess that's it for me for now... i'm off to write another 3 and a half pages (which i told myself i'd write before i went to bed)

Different forms of art

so, i did something rebellious and crazy today... well, i can't really say that, since my mom went with me... the both of us made an appointment to get a tattoo in about 3 weeks... no, they're not matching or anything, that's just nuts, we're not that close... well, we're probably right before the line crossing into 'that close'

this is a picture of what i'm getting... isn't it cute??... it's a picture from the 'Julie' books by Jean Craighead George, in case you're all wondering... now, it's time to get back to trying to finish my book... darn you Wendy for stealing my writing drive

Reading music

yesterday i was listening to my iPod on my way home from class (i have one of those old green mini ones that they don't make anymore) and i realized something

i listen to music because i like the lyrics

now, i'm all for people making music for a living, but i'm such a word girl that i focus more on the lyrics, because they tell a little story

well, there's my blabbering for today... everyone else can blabber to a friend of theirs for a few minutes today
