Oh My Holy Crap

I only have 5 chapters left on my first draft edit. YAY! I'm thinking that, barring any extreme story edits, the second and third drafts will go by much quicker as I will have pretty much polished everything that needs it. I've only really re-written a few chunks of writing and those were maybe a page apiece.

I've started dreaming about what life is going to be like when I'm a rich, successful writer. I can't help it. Some days thinking about that is the only thing that gets me through the day. If I didn't have that dream, I don't know how I'd get through most days. Just knowing this part of my life is temporary and it will lead to fantastic wealth and comfort is... amazing.

I know, I know. That's making huge assumptions but I feel like, HEY, why the hell not dream big. Even if I miss the moon, I'll land in the stars. The cold emptiness of space playing contrast to the burning heat of the giant flaming heavenly bodies... yup.

Song for your day: Stadium Love by Metric. It's catchy and fun and hurrah for good female fronted bands.

My New Best Friend

Man editing sucks. Or maybe I suck. Either way it's not getting done. I think this might be in part because we are moving in a couple weeks and my mind is stressed out and rebelling and being lazy helps me feel less shite.

Maybe.

I just finished the Scott Pilgrim series of comic books. It was AWESOME. I would highly suggest it if you like comic books.

That's all for now.

Sing A Song A Six Shooter

I'm sooo tired today. I just ate a BLOODY TON of carbs in the form of bread, more bread, potatoes (carbs? not sure on that one), and cake. Lots of bloody cake. I was barely able to walk to my brothers house down the street.

I lurrrrve podcasts. That's the only thing that gets me through many days at work. Driving around and talking to complete ARSE HOLES!!! Selling crap. Spraying crap. Boo. Anyways, a couple of my favorites are The Drabblecast and StarShip Sofa. But, unfortunately, they aren't doing well financially. They really need donations so if you could check them out and see if you like them and if you like them then please donate! They are worth supporting.

I am about one third of the way through my first book revision. It's pretty boring. Maybe that says something about my book but I'd prefer to think not. Just that I get bored real easy like.

Zzzzzzz...

Oh, sorry guys. Fell asleep for a sec. To many carbs.

Boo, You Whorecrux

Just watched Mean Girls and I gotta say, that movie is great. Now we are watching Bachelorette which I am told is good but... I'm doubtful.
Also I'm excited to see Dirty Dancing again. Man I'm a sucker for chick flicks. What the F?!

Again, also: What the F happened to Kirsten Dunst. Also even more I HATE it when actors with cool accents try to do American accents. STOP IT!!! The reason I like you is your accent. IDIOT!

What Is That Noise?!

Every time I hear the song Serenade by Schubert I think of an episode of something or other featuring, I think, Donald Duck. It shows him being extremely depressed and the ocean luring him in to kill himself. But at the end he rallies and escapes the ocean. Over the whole thing a narrator comments on the heroes struggle.

Has anyone out there seen or heard of this episode? It's driving me crazy. I can find no reference to it anywhere on the internet.

What You Did In The Dark

Book Update: There is nothing to update!

Ever since I finished the first draft I haven't been able to start rewriting. I have done literally zero work since then on it.

It's a bummer!

Work is going so so. I thought I would do really well at this job but I'm only doing sort of okay. And I feel like I'm constantly on the verge of getting fired, which can be very stressful. But such is life, eh? It's strange because I feel like the universe dropped this job in my lap and now it feels like the universe is trying to get me fired. WTF UNIVERSE?!! Jk, universe, jk. I only kid.

What do you mean I have to work hard to keep my job?

The End

Today at 9:54 p.m. I finished my first book. It feels amazing yet still daunting. I have tons of editing and rewriting to do before it's ready to be sent in for publishing but it's such a milestone and I've gotten such a sense of accomplishment from it. I haven't accomplished much in my life. This is nice.
