I feel like today was fairly productive.\u00a0 I finished all the homework that’s due tomorrow, put in three hours at the writing lab, went to all my classes, got up early, and now I’m going to bed relatively late, after writing for about two hours.<\/p>\n
However, I still<\/em> wasn’t able to get all the writing done that I’d have liked.\u00a0 Edited another six pages of Phoenix<\/em>.\u00a0 Didn’t write a wikidpad article for Hero<\/em>.\u00a0 Didn’t put in another 500 words in that story.<\/p>\n I’ve noticed, though, that I’m starting to think a lot more about my writing, especially after yesterday.\u00a0 While walking around on campus (and during the more boring parts of my classes) I was thinking about what I should do in the next few pages, how I should edit this particular scene–actually putting<\/em> myself in the scene and trying to visualize it.<\/p>\n In short, the momentum is building.\u00a0 When I got back from working out, I was able to sit down and dive straight into the story.\u00a0 No procrastinating.\u00a0 No avoidance behavior.\u00a0 It was nice.<\/p>\n And then, what felt like five minutes later, I got this pop up message on my screen that the LRC was closing in only one minute<\/em> and that I was about to be kicked off.\u00a0 Talk about panic!\u00a0 I wasn’t able to eject my disc safely, so when I got back to the FLSR I literally ran to my computer to check if I’d lost the story.<\/p>\n Thank goodness, it was still there, but my roommate Basseem had quite a laugh.<\/p>\n Now I just have to get that momentum going on my other project.\u00a0 If I can freaking find the time.\u00a0 I haven’t even figured out what I’m going to do as far as dating this week–and heck, if I don’t consciously make it a priority, I know that it won’t happen.\u00a0 There are a few girls I’d like to ask out, but no specifics or anything.<\/p>\n Man, I can’t afford avoidance activity or procrastination anymore!\u00a0 There’s just not enough time.\u00a0 But…shoot!\u00a0 That means I have to be constantly putting myself out there!\u00a0 Argh!<\/p>\n I’m sure that all of this is good for me.\u00a0 Probably a little bit more good than I’d like.<\/p>\n In the meantime, I don’t believe in writing boring, useless blog posts anymore, so here is something interesting I found the other day<\/a>.\u00a0 It’s a customizable podcast for the scriptures.\u00a0 Basically, when you sign up you create a personalized podcast feed for any of the standard works, so that you can download the scriptures one chapter at a time (or two or three) as often as you would like.\u00a0 It’s basically like podiobooks<\/a>, except for the scriptures.<\/p>\n So anyways, that’s what’s going on over here.\u00a0 It’s 1:30 am, and I have a class that starts in six and a half hours.\u00a0 G’night!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I feel like today was fairly productive.\u00a0 I finished all the homework that’s due tomorrow, put in three hours at the writing lab, went to all my classes, got up early, and now I’m going to bed relatively late, after writing for about two hours.
