The Funny Thing About Writing

The funny thing about writing is that one minute I enjoy it so much I can hardly stand it and I want to write all day everyday and the next minute I hate everything that I've written and swear I'll never turn it in to try and get published. Luckily the happy sunshine moments out weight the dark dreary moments but it's interesting to me that it fluctuates so drastically. Anyone else feel like that?

The Addict

The problem with reading is that once you start you can't stop. I have tried several times to stop reading so that I can spend more time writing but every time I try to balance them reading wins out. I get so excited to read new books that I think, "I'll just start this one and then put it down in a few chapters." Never happens. So I've given up on my favorite thing for now so that I can reach my new goal. I have 26 days to write 42,904 words. Oi. 

Writing, writing, and more writing

At the beginning of the year I set a goal to have 50,000 words in my book by LTUE (Life, The Universe, and Everything) which is on February 17th. So far I am 35,000 words and between work and tutoring I have next to no time. But for some crazy reason I have been writing a ton and the best conclusion I came up with is that I realized how much I'd have to sacrifice if I really want to do this. Apparently I want it pretty badly because I have been ignoring my friends (those of you on here you can testify), I have been ignoring my sister (which is even harder to ignore than my friends partly because she lives across the hall and partly because even if she didn't she would still be banging down my door to hang out), and my family. But bottom line is that I really want to see what I'm made of and I now have 11 days to write 15,000 words if I want to reach my goal. Everyone forgive me for ignoring you and wish me luck because for the next week and a half I will be doing writing, writing, and more writing.
