What I Know

Mood: tired but pleased with chapter 12
Music I am Listening to: 96.1 because they play good stuff in the morning

Today is Thursday, July the 27th. Not a big milestone, but a time for me to make some changes.

Lately I've been writing a book titled "I Was". I enjoy writing it a lot, but actually sitting down with half a chapter and being expected (by myself) to finish it is quite a drag. I'll get the hang of it eventually (I'd better, I have about 5 chapters left to pull through). I just want this all to be worth it in the end. I want to be able to look in the bookstore and see my book on the shelf, just one copy- the rest have sold out. I want people to know me as a writer. But how can I have fame or fortune when I don't put my heart into it?

Even my music is changing abruptly over the past few days. When I am trying to write an emotional or sad part, I listen to Duke Ellington to calm me down. When I'm writing a fun, slightly racy part involving the boy and girl, I listen to 96.1, which likes to play "Buttons" and "Promiscuous Girl" very often. Otherwise, the Beatles suit me best.

Enough about me, what's been happening in your lives? What are your experiences with writing?

Voices - July 27th, 2006 No vampires whatsoever. A couple ghosts, lost lovers, nasty fights...more modern than vampires. Thanks again.
