I have to have headphones with my music playing whereever i am. I usually hate all other music that is played so i need my music to stay sane in most places. Shockingly though when walking around in the neighborhood around my University, i dont put on headphone. Its just so quiet. its creepy but awesome. Kind of reminds me of my first book just how silent is it around here.

I know one thing, though. If I get really stuck, or I'm plotting, I will definitely have music. Because it is inspiring.

A world of pure imagination...
Hi all! After three today, I'm DONE (at least for the semester)! :D Then I can write, and watch DW, and read, and do crafts, and whatever else to my heart's content.

But The House deals with Halloween not Christmas. Last book dealt with Christmas and i wrote that in July, hehehe.

I really dont know what the hell is happening with me and The House... While i was writing HH, i couldnt wait to write it, hell this was suppost to be the most awesome and fun to write book in the series and... I'm hitting this huge freaking brick wall. I think i know the reason why, but i dont know how i'm ever going to fix it.

I think my problem is this is suppose to be the scariest book of all of them. In fact its suppose to be utterly terrifying. But I'm worried I cant obtain that level of terror in my writing.

yes it really can.

Only 15 more minutes then i can leave work, drop off my lab book, go back to my apt. and eat and then finally go to the hosptial and visit my mom. Then i'm going home, napping (if needed) watching all of my shows (because this is the first week in months i have the time) and then writing for as long as i want!

WHOO! My last final is tomorrow at noon but I can't officially say "I'm done" until I get home tomorrow night (probably nine or ten).

Trying to think of something a ten year old boy would want for Christmas. It's for my short story. Any suggestions?

OK. I shall look for some video games.

I am hoping to finish the short story either today or tomorrow, so I can write some more of Sticks and Stones on Saturday, start one of my essays (or both of them) on Sunday, and then go to Starbucks and try and hit 5K or 10K (depending on what happens) on Monday. The rest of the week will then be focused on essays and prep for Christmas.

Yeah, I pretty much have my holiday planned out...

This short story is stressing me out. It's too long already, and I just want to work on Sticks and Stars after ten minutes of writing it. :(

My only advice on the short story is to just get down the plot and then cut things out until it's short enough. That's usually what I do, though it usually takes quite a bit of modification.

OK. It's also motivation that's the problem. Any tips for that?

Imma watch Glee and HPDHP2 tomorrow or Friday, that's for sure. Even if the DVD is just on my laptop before I go to bed.
