1,000 words, split between the two stories I’m working on, but something happened that made me a little uneasy…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I sat down to write tonight, for some reason I didn’t feel motivated to write in my novel.\u00a0 It was very strange, because last night I was really excited about it and could hardly stop writing.\u00a0 Tonight, as soon as I got there, I felt so hard pressed to come up with something to say that it almost felt like starting a new story–even though I knew exactly where the story was going to go.<\/p>\n
I ended up working on the English 318 story instead, and that worked out really well because 800 words later I was motivated at least to penetrate 200 words into the next scene of the novel.\u00a0 Now, at least when I sit down tomorrow, I’ll have something to run with.<\/p>\n
I don’t know why that happened, but oh well.<\/p>\n
Some good news I saw just recently!\u00a0 My old friend from Quark, Andy Lemmon<\/a>, made honorable mention in the Writers of the Future contest!<\/a>\u00a0 Good job!<\/p>\n And some not so good news…one of my roommates has mono.\u00a0 He’s moving out to his family’s house until he gets better (he lives here in Provo), but that’s put me in a little bit of a scare.\u00a0 I bought a new toothbrush and I’m sanitizing my hands compulsively.\u00a0 Mono is definitely something I do not<\/em> need right now!<\/p>\n OTOH, maybe it would give me enough of a break to work more on writing.\u00a0 But from what I’ve heard from other people, when you’ve got mono, you’re too tired to do anything.\u00a0 I really don’t want to get this sickness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 1,000 words, split between the two stories I’m working on, but something happened that made me a little uneasy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[32],"tags":[4],"class_list":["post-162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ge","tag-the-lost-colony","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7iXK-2C","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.onelowerlight.com\/writing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
