<\/p>\nEver since Daddy mentioned to me in the car that I should write the book I’ve always wanted to, I’ve kind of been obsessed. I’m not sure what kicked me in the ass this time and said “Yes…this time I will do it” as opposed to the few previous times before where I went “hm…that would be really cool…wonder what I could write…oh look shiny!” Part of me thinks this is amazingly cool. I’ve already written more on this piece then I ever wrote on the one I planned in high school. I have a full story with only a couple holes left to fill. I have a few amazing friends who are being extremely encouraging and helping with brainstorming and thoughts. And I’m finding time to actually do it. Just think of the sleep I’ve given up in the last week for this book! (inside joke)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But I have an itch that’s just behind my eyes that says I’m treading on thin ice. Sometimes when I ask for a little help I get a sigh and I feel like I’m intruding. Sometimes when I’m jotting down a note, I feel eyes on me and I wonder if I’ll get in trouble cause I should have been doing something else. It’s all about balance. I know that. It’s incredibly hard for me to find that balance and NOT loose my motivation. I think I simply need to negate my fear of loosing motivation, keep myself from trouble, and simply continue to write during work breaks and during my “free time” and all will be well with the world. <\/p>\n
Now…on to writing thoughts…<\/p>\n
I’m pretty much a full day behind on quota if we are going for 1667 words a day to finish 50k by Nov 31. That’s not that big of a thing because I’m going to have a lot of time this weekend to concentrate on writing. Daddy is headed to Tat’s tonight until Sunday so I have bunch of time to use. I’m actually very excited about it.<\/p>\n
I am also not upset about being behind because despite the fact that I am, so far I have written at least something everyday since I started and filled in a bunch of plot gaps at night before bed. While I haven’t added to the book word count, I’ve added a tremendous amount to the book_bible count and I think that’s important. <\/p>\n
I’ve also been extremely proud of myself for not spouting “I’m writing a book” every 5 minutes around people who don’t know. It won’t matter until it’s done. Until then I’m trying very hard not to keep bringing it up. I’ve done well with Tat and at karate. I’m bugging Daddy a bit and it’s annoying to hear his “Good for you” comment now and then but I’m doing good. I just have this image in my head of finishing it and bringing it to Daddy like this dead mouse going “see what I caught!!” and him going “That’s….very nice hunny.” :pat pat:<\/p>\n
I want people … correction…I want Daddy, Tat, my Mom, the guys at school, my cousin to all be so proud and impressed with my work. I already know a few of my friends will likely think it’s drivil and I’m preparing myself for that but I’m such a “compliment” driven beast it’s sad. I’m all excited about the day I can end karate with “I finished my book” during “important news” moment.<\/p>\n
I had an “a-ha…heh…see!” moment yesterday before karate as I figured out a particularly tricky easter egg in what I was writing. I have noticed I LOVE dropping easter eggs and know that most of them are going to be totally overlooked. I’ve always been that way though. I write a poem and if you don’t get it I can’t understand why. I just want someone to be able to find a few of my easter eggs. <\/p>\n
Ok…’nuff rambling for now. Maybe I’ll share a bit of plot or something later. <\/p>\n
