How cheesy am I?
When you’re trying to write and listen to a CD or something on your computer at the same time, here is a word of advice: Be careful about what you put on shuffle. I was just about to start one last attempt of getting some extra words in for the day, and I had my old Vitamin C CD on (remember her? I’m a child of the ’90′s…). And then, “Graduation (Friends Forever)” came on. I haven’t thought very much about graduation since it happened. Working on writery things and other distractions, that sort of stuff. And kind of avoiding thinking about it.
I cried. Then I played the song again and cried some more. Sometimes, crying is theraputic; sometimes it puts me in a bad mood for several days. This was a good cry.
Needless to say, however, the planned extra little bit of writing I had hoped to get in before midnight is not going to be happening tonight, I’m afraid. I’m not terribly worried, however; I have 15,009 words already, and I just started writing this latest novel attempt on the first of the month. A little over 15 thousand words and almost 70 pages, and this thing’s barely even gotten started! But I’m having fun with it. Witches, true love, jealous royalty, pirates, fairies, gnomes…none of it truly serious. And definitely not excellent literature by any means. Just fun stuff. And I like it. What’s the point of making something for others to eventually enjoy if you don’t enjoy making it?
One last thing: Is there anybody out there? Hello? I think I hear an echo…Anyways, if there is someone out there on the Internet who is reading this, drop me a comment. I don’t bite (much).
