Thankful
I just typed up a huge work rant, but I think I’ll hold off on posting it.
That is what I love about writing; it is so therapeutic for me. Almost all of my IRL friends ask how I can enjoy writing, it’s so ‘boring’ …and I just gawk at them. Writing is my escape. I can come on here and just rage with my words and after it’s all out of my system, I feel so much better. Or, I can escape into a fictional reality and express my frustrations with life and people with my characters. To me, writing is everything and I think a lot of people have lost touch with it. That saddens me… I know, that is sad in and of itself.
Anyway … I got a little bit more writing done last night and hit 30,900 words, and finished chapter eighteen, but now I feel stuck. I know where my story is going, but I have to write a somewhat difficult scene next and have no idea how to start it. I sat and stared at my screen for a good thirty minutes before my eyes began to cross and I forced myself to bed (at an early 1:30am). I’ll figure it out … hopefully.
Tomorrow night we’re doing girl’s night! I am quite excited. We had a blast a couple of weeks ago shopping and now we’re going out for a few drinks and some dinner. Still have no idea where we are going or what time, but it doesn’t matter… it’ll be a blast.
Not much else planned for the weekend. The weather is supposed to be pretty amazing so I might go for a walk at the park. Maybe I’ll finally snap some photos since it’s been a while. I totally fell off that project 365 wagon … again. I blame my being in bed sick for a week (: I actually can’t wait for autumn … it is so beautiful around here during that time (not that there isn’t beauty in the summer :D).
I am so glad tomorrow is Friday. I get out at 2pm on Friday’s which makes me giddy. And since it’s been a while since I’ve done a “thankful for”, I’m ending this entry on a positive note. :D
Thankful for -
♥ My parents and siblings who annoy the hell out of me on a daily basis; keeps life exciting.
♥ The gorgeous weather we’ve had all week. I’ve actually been able to sleep at night without the air conditioner and it’s awesome.
♥ The people in my life that I can call ‘friends’. They make me happy.
♥ Mother nature; she’s a beautiful bish.
♥ My iPhone. It keeps me entertained.
♥ Trips! Chicago in October and a cruise sometime in March - Can’t wait! (and maybe a quick trip to see the vampire diaries set with camosa *giddy*).
♥ The kindness of others - especially perfect strangers. I don’t know why it is so hard for some people to say “Thank You” and “You’re welcome” … so when people actually do it? I am thankful for their kindness.
♥ Laughter. I love to laugh. I love to make others laugh. I love seeing people laugh. Laughter is so wonderful; we should all be laughing all the time.
♥ Coffee. I probably wouldn’t survive the day if I didn’t have my morning mug (and sometimes mid-afternoon mug) of java. Mmm, coffee!
♥ New friendships! *waves at new friends*
♥ Music. I think I would go bonkers at work if it wasn’t for Pandora.com :D
♥ Autumn being right around the corner! It’s my favorite season (though I love all four, autumn is my fave).
♥ Fridays!
