I went to the driving range with a friend for the second time today and it was actually really fun. And golf hurts more than I thought it would, which was not at all. Good times.

I'm Only Getting Started (I'll Try Really Extra Hard Not To Black Out)!
Wow. I haven't written for like two friggin weeks. Boo and hiss. The reason? I got an XBOX 360 AND Starcraft on my computer. Not a great combination for a writer to be honest. If you are an aspiring writer and would like some extra curricular entertainment I would highly suggest NOT getting either of these. Try golfing.

The Night in Review
Well I just finished over a 1,000 words on my novel, Rising Sun. I know I know it's a cheesy, generic name. What do I look like to you, a marketing genius? Just kidding haha. I just haven't come up with that name that really sticks in my head ya know? Also I would just like to take this time to say again that setting a goal for at least 500 words a day is amazing! It has helped me not get overwhelmed but still make progress.
Also you prospective/current writers should watch a Simpsons episode called The Book Job. It was hilarious, spoofing the Oceans 11 movies and making fun of the writing community, specifically the young adult novel. It also strangely gave me motivation and I blasted out 1,000 words yesterday and 1,000 today! It was awesome. I'm up to chapter 3 of my book and going strong.
I've never been this far into a writing project. It feels good but I'm having a hard time staying motivated sometimes. Mostly because I feel like what's the point? Do I really expect some literary agent to pick my novel out of the slushpile and think it's going to sell a million copies, making us rich? But then I read books like The Rhythm of Life by Matthew Kelly or You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay and feel like HECK YEAH! I should completely expect this to happen. These are excellent books and I highly suggest them to anyone!
So I guess the point of this wordy ramble: I think I'm bipolar.
And yes, that is Neil Gaiman on the left as a yellow person. Awesome!!!
Keep on Writing.

VICTORY!
I have the first draft of the first two chapters of my novel, the as yet crappily named, Rising Sun. Yay. I'm telling you's. Just take it 500 words at a time. And by that I mean a day. Soon enough you've got some serious progress under your belt.
I finally got Miri to watch Hot Fuzz. She has refused for years because she thought it looked like just another lame action movie. But once she watched it she found that Simon Pegg is actually hilarious! Oh and so is Nick freakin Frost. Genius. Can't wait to see him in Attack the Block. Recently saw Paul. It was actually better than I thought it was going to be. Also I freakin love Kristen Wiig. She is probably the best actor on SNL, tied with Bill Hader.
Anyways that's all for now. Go watch something Nerdy!

P.S. Check out the band The Naked and Famous and AWOLNATION. Excellent tunes. Oh also check out the soundtrack to The Fountain, specifically the song Death is the Road to Awe. It will change your life. Probably. Not. Probably not.
