Yeah!\u00a0 I was tired, and thought that I’d throw in the towel after writing just a couple hundred words, but I kept saying to myself “come on, you can at least stay awake to write fifty more words–come on!” and it worked!\u00a0 I met both goals today, and I feel that the story is progressing very nicely again!\u00a0 A couple thousand pages and I’ll get to the really awesome part where Ian tries to go and rescue the captain–in the middle of the lands of the ancients!\u00a0 I have some good ideas for what to have happen in the next chapter!\u00a0 I’m excited!<\/p>\n
I’ve also been reading more of that L’Engle quote book, and it’s really good!\u00a0 I plan on dedicating at least a post to it.\u00a0 She really treats writing as an art, and a spiritual one at that.\u00a0 It’s very different from what I’m used to hearing nowadays from all of the writing and publishing podcasts that I listen to (I’ll have to do a post on that as well–sheesh, this blog might require as much or more writing than my actual stories!).\u00a0 I’ve never heard of someone making so many connections between writing and spirituality.\u00a0 It’s very compelling to me, actually.\u00a0 I’m very interested in finishing reading this book.<\/p>\n
Also, my friend Steve told me today that he needs to write more often.\u00a0 He is a film major, and he’s written a few screenplays and won a few contests, but he usually gets pretty distracted when he goes to sit down and write.\u00a0 He wants to write every night.\u00a0 That works out really well, actually, because I don’t like writing in my apartment (too much noise), so I like to come over to his place to write!\u00a0 And, er, there are just as many distractions there, but at least I can find a quiet place to sit down (it’s where I am now, actually).\u00a0 So, I will be helping him out and we should be hanging out more often to write together!\u00a0 Good times!<\/p>\n
And I’ve got to publish this before my battery dies!\u00a0 So here you go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
