Last night I hung out with my friends Steve Dethloff and Lindsay Rowe over at Steve’s new apartment at King Henry.\u00a0 Had a really good time, which unfortunately involved staying up until 2:30 am.\u00a0 The next day I was zombified–even more than usual.\u00a0 I can’t<\/em> keep this up much longer…need sleep…<\/p>\n

So the day pretty much sucked.\u00a0 I can handle tiredness, but not too much of it.\u00a0 By the end of the day, I was just miserable, so I skipped my last class.<\/p>\n

The evening was much better, though.\u00a0 Much better.\u00a0 I went out to the Smith Fieldhouse and worked out from 9pm to 10pm, riding the exercise bike while reading Dune<\/em>.\u00a0 Fantastic book: I’m reading it for the quark book club.\u00a0 Working out in general is also really good because it wakes up your mind and gets your creativity flowing better.\u00a0 At least it does for me.<\/p>\n

So then, I decided that enough procrastinating is enough, and if I’m going to ever write any of these novels, it’s butt-in-chair hands-on-keyboard time.\u00a0 Washed up, went to the library, and just sat down and wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n

It was good!\u00a0 I think I’m gradually starting to get into this new story, Hero in Exile<\/em>.\u00a0 I only got about 530 words today, but I can feel the momentum picking up.\u00a0 Once I’ve got momentum, things will be much easier.<\/p>\n

So that’s what I was up to today as far as writing.\u00a0 Gradually getting back into it.\u00a0 Now, it’s 1:20 am, I’ve got a test in the Humanities testing lab at 9:00, and I really need to sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
