I seriously need to write more

Apr 19, 2007 15:31


I'm so damn lazy about it. I feel like there are way too many other things I could be doing with my time. But I've never been good at prioritizing. Even now I am at work and there's this big project I have to be working on, but what do I do instead? Surf LJ and update. I'm such a loser at times.

None of the prompts from WD have been very interesting. I think what I would REALLY like to do is work on one of my short story ideas and submit it. I have a couple that I developed and worked on and have a timeline and all this jazz, but then I lost interest. There is ONE, however, that has been in the back of my mind for a long time (like 9 years) and I have never been able to get it out of my head. I was even going to do it for NaNoWriMo, but I cant do NaNoWriMo, its too much pressure. However something is telling me to write this. I have never lost interest in it, and I love the concept. I'm wondering if I haven’t lost interest in it because I haven’t thought it to death. I think every other story to death and basically write it in my head and then I think, "Well what's the point in writing it? I already know how it ends!" Weird huh? I think I write the best when I have no idea what the hell I'm writing and just let it out. My last two short stories were like that. If I can find the one I will post it here. I've already posted "Applesauce", but to be honest the first one is better.

Anyway, not much else going on. Never heard back from that friend of mine from like October. I'm thinking of writing him again, I'm also thinking of saying "screw it" and not worrying about it. But I have a tendency of worrying about everything.

I have NO idea how I'm going to make my Best Friend's wedding in June. (Lord I'm so sorry!) I promised I would be there and I want to keep that promise, but we just did our taxes and things don’t look so pretty. I asked hubs what we're going to do about it and he basically said 'nothing'. I mean what can we do? I'm like 'we cant just NOT pay our taxes! I think there’s a law about that you know!', he shrugs and looks at me helplessly and that's that. I wish I had had more time to save up. Looks like at this point my parents definitely wont be able to go because I cant spend the kind of money they would need me to spend. See its weird, they could only go if they drove because they would need to stay @ a hotel and rent a car anyway if they flew. Its cheaper just to drive. BUT they could only do THAT if I were to go with them and help out with the money. But if I were to go by myself, it would cost half as much because I wouldn’t need a hotel. *sigh* Money sucks. When you don’t have it.

Well that's the deal. That's what's going on. I have to get back to work.
