I Need More Minutes

Came home late from work
Roughly 4:30
Started online class
Finished a 7:45 (earliest ever so far)
My fiancé is lovely and made me dinner so I didn't have to stop homework
So tired of typing notes
That I can't even bring myself to continue my story

But I haven't written a post in so long that I wanted to write one. I wasn't sure what I wanted to write about until this very sentence.

Creatures Synopsis:

"The creatures come out at night. Be home by dusk." Two sentences that haunted Charlie's dreams. It's been years since the creatures first started attacking the world. Creatures that took Charlie's parents and countless others from him. He has managed to survive on sheer luck alone, until he finds another human hiding in his shack. Two teenagers venture out to go on the biggest adventure of their lifetime to find the source of the Creatures that have invaded their world.

It's probably not the official synopsis, seeing as I just pulled it from thin air just now. I'm in Chapter 2 currently where Charlie has met this other mysterious teen.

Unfortunately I spent too much time reading about writing tonight that I didn't get anywhere farther than this synopsis.

I need more minutes in my day! There are so many things to read and write that there isn't enough time!!

My audiobook of Middlesex was returned today. I will go back to reading Prisoner Zero soon, it just doesn't seem to be holding my interest the way I wish it was.

Editing

Image
I hate editing! My own stuff that is. Reading through other people's works and fixing small errors here and there is really enjoyable. I love reading a new story, or a revised story and seeing how it plays out. Editing my own stuff though is time consuming and frustrating. I end up taking out whole chapters in the editing process because I can't stand the way they sound. Usually my writing takes place during the month of November for NaNoWriMo. National November Writing Month. So I am trying to follow a rough outline that I created in October and keep up my word count, usually around work, family time, and Thanksgiving of all holidays where my family usually takes a no-WiFi-available vacation. Now, you'd think, writing is just a pen and paper, or a word document. But when you really need to know the name of that one tiny town and the population of that tiny town you use a lot of fillers and have to go back and google everything when you finally get WiFi again.

Sixteen Reasons Why

While trying to think of what to write about today the show 13 Reasons Why popped up on the Netflix screen (yes I'm multi tasking) I haven't yet sat down to watch it as I still don't know if I'm going to since I have heard mixed review about it. I'll wait until a few more people have seen it. But since this is my 16th post I thought I would do 16 Reasons Why I Write. 1. Some people use yoga, or running, or meditation to relax and clear their heads. I write. Sitting down after a long day and getting lost in my story helps me stop thinking about all the things I need to get done, it helps me calm down after a particularly anxious day and it relaxes me, almost like reading does. 2. I am an avid reader. If there is a book I want to read and I can't find it anywhere I write it. There are so many good story ideas in my head and I want to put them on paper. 3. I have always been a writer at heart. While I was moving into a new home my mom dug out everything of

Coming Out

I just made a twitter account for this blog to hopefully get it out there. Though looking through other people's twitters and seeing just how many blogs are out there like this one I almost feel like a fraud. While some people may find comfort in the idea of other people going through the same situation, I feel like others may feel pretty tired of all of us up and coming writers and why do I think I am any different? Thoughts like this have kept me from putting my thoughts and works out into the world. But here we go. I am "coming out" if you will, as a hobby writer. I have been brave enough to share my stuff with 2 close friends of mine who have read this blog and one of them suggested I take my blog to twitter. So squashing all my negative thoughts about that idea I did it. It takes a lot to remind myself that my thoughts, my stories, my poems, whatever i deicide to write, is mine, unique to me. They may be similar to other people's works, a mash of stories I hav
