It is snowing.  For anyone that has ever lived anywhere near Austin, TX, you know this is a very rare event.  I miss snow with a passion.  Although I have no desire to drive on slick, icy roads, I have great memories of snow as a kid.  I also have some great memories of my first semester in college at UMich ( Read more... )

I am depressed.  If you have ever had a problem with depression, you know that the smallest things can trigger it.

( depressed thinking... )

Okay.  Life has been good lately as long as I don't think about my finances.  They'll be better after the 15th, but they are still not going to be pretty.

Beyond that, I finished Nano and still have plenty of story to write.  I hope to finish that story and edit '07's Nano this month.  We shall see how that goes.

( Random slightly depressing thoughts... )

Okay, I have been away from LJ for quite a while.  I have come back to it to try and stay motivated for writing and editing after Nanowrimo ends.

Here's and update of where I am now:

Sadly, that isn't true, but it is the situation.  There isn't power at my apartment because my roommate payed the bill late.  (It's a long, involved story why that was the final straw.)  We aren't going to have power until at least Thursday!!!!!!!!  Normally I would have paid it but for two things.  First, the bill is almost $400 to get it turned ( Read more... )

It looks like I may be able to balance out my finances a little more this month and still get the computer.  If I can manage that, I will be absolutely THRILLED!!!!!  I will also be a month ahead on my rent!  I like having that buffer in case something disastrous happens ( Read more... )

Hello to all of those still reading this.  I am sorry I was gone for so long.  I have been having some personal issues and not writing, so I didn't feel like being on here.  I know now that I was wrong, but sometimes you make mistakes ( Read more... )

 The writing started out really well this month, but it is not going so well right now.  I hope to remedy that tonight.  I know I can, it just seems that my motivation comes and goes ( Read more... )
