I'm good at drinking; not at writing.

So NaNo has been a bust but not a total loss. I just haven't been able to sit down and write, write, write. I only have about 1000 words so I'm juuuuuuuust a little bit behind. But I've definitely learned a lot. Writing something that large is not something I can just sit down and do; I need a plan. An outline or something. Lots of preparation so I have an idea of where the story is going and what I want to say. I like the idea I have for the story; hopefully I'll be able to keep going with it and finish it sometime.

And apparently I have a drinking problem. I don't drink all the time; I don't crave alcohol and get all cranky or whatever if I don't drink. But when I am drinking, if I have lots of it available, I just don't stop. I seem to not have any self control. I should probably work on that.

My birthday is in two weeks. I'm gonna be thirty. I still don't know exactly how I feel about that. I still feel like I've wasted a lot of time just drifting and not working towards anything. But I've also never felt better about my life. I'm finally happy and have a plan. I suppose I just need to keep telling myself I'm really not that old and I still have plenty of time to fulfill the dreams I have for me and my family.

And that's about all for now I suppose. Excited for Thanksgiving next week. Get to see the fam and eat lots of fantastic food!

NaNoWriMo update (or how I suck at writing)

So it's 5 days in to November; I should be at about 8,500 words. I've almost hit 1,000. Oops. Writing is hard. I've never attempted to write something this big and it's a bit intimidating. It doesn't help that I've suddenly been given more hours at work. Which is a good thing cause I definitely need the money, but when I work 10-13 hours a day I don't really feel like doing much when I get home at night and would rather sleep than get up early to write. Oh, and I also still don't have any idea what I'm really writing. I have a vague plot idea but that's pretty much it. I went to the Write-In today and got quite a bit written; but it's all pretty much random BS babbling. I've got to really get on it if I'm gonna get this done!
In other news, Dusti and I went to Smokey Bones today. Aaaaaaaaaaand....eh. Food was decent, service was pretty horrible. Now we're back home and gonna spend the evening chillin and watching zombie movies!! Tomorrow is church and after that Dusti has somehow talked me in to going to the gym and working out with her and Misty; that's gonna be interesting.

Here we go again...

Yes, I've started another blog. This is number 6 or 7 I believe. This time it's for real though. I'm gonna update this sucker like a champ! I'm participating in NaNoWriMo this year so for the month of November most of my updates will most likely be me whining about how far behind I am in my word count and how I have no idea what to write about next. But after that I will hopefully be making some more interesting entries about my life. Lots of exciting things have been happening in the last year and more are coming in the next so I'm sure I'll have plenty to say! If you'd like to know what that is then stop by! If not, go look at cat videos on YouTube!
