"got no town to hide in"
The pressure to be productive from school has carried over a bit into these first few days, something I need to amend. Between a given half hour, I'm writing, playing guitar and one or two video games, eating, and reading a different book. It's frustrating, I need to get settled a little more, I think.
Thursday and Friday were nice though, at least in terms of updating for GH. (I always feel so bad that some of my stories get blogged out here, I feel like I'm spamming my friends with geeknews. Sorry guys.) I did ten stories, two of which made it into NewsNow's top twenty for awhile, and of the two, one was also...
...linked out to a few places, including Bluesnews. So. Not a huge deal, but a minor victory and morale boost for myself, not to mention some extra hits for the site. It's just encouraging to be able to think to myself, "Wow, people are actually reading this stuff." In some insignificant way, I'm influencing the industry. I know it's a long road if I want to be successful as any kind of writer, let alone one in the gaming world, but I need to keep building upon these little steps and create momentum for myself. On that note, the preview I'm working on should be up sometime next week.
Oh, and I guess I'm turning 21 in a couple weeks. Not sure how I feel about that. Dad says he wants to get me a Les Paul, though I'm not sure I need one, ha. I've never drank before, and I'm imagining my two pals will want to take me out. ...Haven't quite figured out what I want to do yet. It's like...hmmm. I don't want to drink for the sake of drinking, y'know? I'd rather it be a shared moment that's personal and memorable because of the people I'm with, not because of the condition I'm in. I sound so base, I'm sorry, ha.
I want someone to go back to my old neighborhood with me and take pictures. That'd be nice.
