The Good/Bad Chart ~ Update on my life
So my life is a lot of chaos, because I am too lazy to follow a schedule. Blah, Today I had my alarm clock set for 6:30 so that by 7 am I would be ready for a writing date, just me, my notebook and a killer playlist on my new MP3 Player. Mhm, I woke up turned the damn alarm off and murmuring of "Yup, any minute I will be up" I slept through to about 8:30. That is why I don't manage much with writing and reading. Anyways I will post a chart of what happened to me recently.
The Good:
1) After a week of buzzing here and there with no writing done, I sat down and started to write and it all came. And I don't mean like just a formed idea of how everything is happening, I mean the whole bundle of joy: the breathtaking feeling of becoming the character and penning down the mix of thoughts, data from the surroundings via the senses and motion. There is a hope for my novel and a decent ending. August it is then. ;)
2) I am attending the Summer Shorts challenge, which is a writing challange. 5000 words for around three weeks. I think a very small project will add some freshness in my mind, especially since this is a horror slash very sarcastic and snarky. Something I don't usually write, because people are somewhat fed up of Buffy rip-offs on steroids, but the evilness in me likes it and well who knows people might like it. Demons, college students and guts. Yummy!
3) I wrote a review on one of the hardest novels I have ever read: "Down to a Sunless Sea", which is basically a great and thorough introspect into the human soul and mind, which aims to expose the slow and painful process of dehyminazation of the human race. Here is a small excerpt: "... “Down to a Sunless Sea” by Mathias B. Freese is one of those short novels that you would normally think are simply another short bunch of pages, which once you have read can boast about reading literary fiction. However experience has taught me that the shortest novels are usually the hardest to finish; the ones that leave the deepest impressions; the ones shrouded in enough mystery to leave you thinking. “Down to a Sunless Sea” is an anthology of this caliber..." For the whole thing visit Temple Library Reviews.
4) Webcomic going on just fine. I am all laid back about the art not being up to expectations since my writing isn't exactly perfect either. I have explained that this our first project and it's a tril and error on it. Collaboration is one of the hardest tasks in the art world, especially, when two mediums have to be combined and when both people of art are like the sun and moon in some aspects. She is a silent, highly spiritual and a cutting edge rocker with the tanker boots and all. Me, well I am all with extreme high expectations, bossy, shiny, color and ornament addicted and listen to sugar enduced music. Try making a connection there, when it comes to artistic vision. But we have common grounds, being weird and outcasts by one standard or another + the heavy fantasy passion.
The Bad:
1) The camera I so hoped for to be fixed is damaged beyond repair and it's no use in trying to determine what the cause is. It never really was ours since my mom found it on her work place. She worked as the head of staff in a hotel, so lost and found things fall under her jurisdiction as well, so by the end of summer we had several english thriller books and the camera. We left it for it to get charged and buy a new battery, but sadly the people at the store couldn't get anything done. Technology is so fragile. But you know, easy come, easy go.
2) I I can't maintain a schedule and it's killing me. I am seriously starting to train my will, because I need to write, read and exercise properly. Not to mention blog and watch movies. I have no idea how much I can push myself and it's the beginning. The season is also picking up and people are trying to tie me down to teh office seat. Yup, nasty bugger + my boss fell in love with me and is trying to make me stay the whole year for ever and for always. I mentally told her to go and blow the devil, but politely said that I would need to study in college, so no working during the study year. Still frightening. I mean everybody is taking their hats and leaving this firm and to tell you the truth I understand why.
3) I am poor. Seriously the salary is long gone and my parents are yet again on the down side. How the heck does my dad manage to waste so much money is beyond me. We basically get nothing from him. Bastard hiding and spending money before coming home. Grr.
4) Everybody in the office had a birthday and I know eat like a pack of rabbid swines and the hunger is constant. I don't need to be hunfry. I just have to chew and stuff myself. I started a serious diet. Today I am on a cucumber, yoghurt, salty sticks, some chocolate, biscuits and sandwiches, which is still way too much, but at least far less than all the trangressions me and my stomach have commited. Food is my ultimate weakness. I am scared of my eating habits, so it's tough love between me and mister stomach, until he shrinks to a more suitable size, so that greenery it is from morning to supper.
