I hate to admit it, but that restless surge of wanting to create something that plagued me about a week ago has pretty much gone away. I had described it in one of my (untranscribed) journal entries as "this tingling feeling in the gut that feels like I'm on the verge of something exciting, but I'll probably never find out what because it comes out ( Read more... )

Last night, I wrote. And for once it wasn't one of my journal entries, but actual fiction, with dialogue and everything, for five and a half (notebook) pages. Aren't you proud of me? Only, it wasn't what I thought I'd end up writing a few days ago. A few days ago I talked about new projects and possibly starting one, but this wasn't "new," in a ( Read more... )

I was feeling reflective-y again last night and wrote the following entry in my journal...

( Late night ramblings about writing. )

I haven't posted in a while. I know this, and this is almost relevant to my topic of discussion tonight. I had this strong feeling to write something tonight, and I decided to transcribe my musings here ( Read more... )

I've been keeping up so far, my classes sound promising, and I don't even feel homesick at all. Maybe it's because all I ever did at home was not interact with my family, so just not having them around isn't much of a difference ( Read more... )

I haven't been keeping up with my AF wordcount for the past couple of days. Last night instead of writing the however many words I needed to write to be caught up, I worked on a script. I can't seem to get excited about my story, so there's no momentum and I've had to rely on myself to keep the words coming ( Read more... )

I feel like writing something. You'd think this would be useful because I need to write almost 3000 words to catch up in my April NaNo, but it doesn't seem to work that way. I'll catch up eventually, but for now I'll just watch Mythbusters and wonder why I don't post in my Live Journal more often.
