All It Took Was a Ray of Sunshine

I don't have a lot of work today so I figured, why not update? I mean, I've always wanted to update my blog frequently. Like I said, I don't have a lot of homework. I think I'm having the best day of the week so far. This morning I got the results from my recent Civics project. My teacher hadn't been impressed with the marks, so I was overjoyed when I found out that I received a perfect. Feel a little guilty though, since he marked my grammar/spelling as perfect too when he actually caught a few mistakes. He's probably being generous. Anyway, in business class I received a caramel granola bar for answering a question correctly that the others didn't. Cool eh? Then in math, our test date was postponed till Monday (not that I mind it being on Friday) and programming was a breezy course.

So, that's enough of my personal life right now.

Updating my fics? Okay, let's talk about that. I'm currently editing the last chapter of Sticks and Stones. I feel like I've lost all emotion, and what's left is a rough stoney texture. There really wasn't that much to it. My sentence structure is poor and let's not even get into the length of the chapter. I'm trying to add about another six to seven pages worth of plot, and reposting it again. I've figured out the majority of details for the next three chapters including the epilogue. Yeah, I know I've said that before but this time I really know where I'm going to take this story. I just had a bit of trouble with the details. Hopefully it doesn't end too fast since the pacing was rather slow; the problem is that I don't think there's room for romance. I don't want to give out any spoilers because I've always seemed to change my mind all too quickly and even my spoilers become wrong.

To be completely and brutally honest, I feel like I'm getting tired of writing this story. I mean, it may just be because it's not my main priority at this moment so I don't feel as interested in writing it, but I'm more excited about posting What You Will. I've been getting this chills lately that if I don't get started on its first chapter and post it, somebody will get to the idea first. I've planned about three chapters worth of the story already, and I'm hoping that it will become a hit just like Sticks and Stones. I'd be gravely disappointed to find out that somebody beat me to it.

I hope I'm not like one of those lousy authors. I think I may seem like one, but I'm really passionate about writing... it's just school work comes first. And even though I don't have a lot of homework, sometimes the inspiration just isn't there. I love and enjoy writing Sticks and Stones, and hopefully there's still that glowing ember inside me that can spark better chapters. I know it's there; it just takes a while to shed off my essay-mode. Essays lack emotion, and their too blunt. I can't lack emotion and be blunt when I'm writing my story, so I do apologize for that. I just feel like I can do so much better.

Well, this seems like a pretty long post. I hope it makes up for all the days that I missed, and hopefully for the days that I'm pretty sure I *will* miss. I don't know; if I'm not busy in the next few days, I might give another heads up. But other than that, I don't think there are a lot of things worth of giving a heads up for.

Writing at School

There's really nothing going on right now. Okay, there's lots of things going on like school work, but there's nothing interesting. Mid-terms are coming up in a week; I'm feeling a little anxious about my marks, but since I've gotten most of it earlier, I just need to wonder what I got in my programming class.

I haven't written in months and that's because I wasn't interested in putting up anything. But now, I feel a little stressed out because of the workload I've been getting (man, the guys in front of me are loud). I'm writing this at school. There's usually very little work during programming class, and the guys often just fool around. And hey, the teacher's in it too!

I just did a math quiz. I was hoping to get a hundred percent on it, but just as usual, I get some stupid mistakes. I feel really lousy when this happens. I'm disappointed to know that I don't do the best I can. I feel like slapping my self or banging my head on the wall.

Nothing intersting has been happening. On Saturday I went to a gaming workshop. It was pretty cool and boring at the same time (if that even makes sense). I don't have the software at home to start making my own games, so whatever things I learned there are just going to be left behind in the dust behind the back of my brain. I'll forget! I assure you, I will.

In two weeks I'll be going to a camping trip. Oh, I can't wait. That's probably the only exciting event in my life this month. I think I'll also be having a math test by the end of this week. I really want to work hard to do well in it (and by well I mean perfect). It's not like I'm asking too much; I know I have the ability to get perfect, and I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I'm too distracted. I don't feel like I am though. As a matter of fact, I think I'm focused enough to get good grades. I don't know why I'm not nailing my math tests. Oh gee, I need to type really quickly. I only have four minutes until the bell rings.

I just realized how good it felt to be typing up my blog again. I feel like I need an outlet, and this helped a lot. Okay, I know it's pretty boring but who cares? My life is boring.
