Man, do I feel good about my writing or what. At 1:30am last night/this morning I finished the last chapter for my Jan/Feb 2004 Writing Dare at FM. The chapter came out to 1,711 words. Oh thank heaven for 7-11. ;-) For some reason, I've really been able to turn on the juice this past week. One day I wrote 2,337 words. Last night I wrote 1,711. My norm is around 500 words a day. So I've really been smoking. I think having a deadline helps me get motivated. My problem is that I always wait until the last minute to get shaking. I've been like this my whole life. It's annoying. How can I change it? I know, I know...just do it. I'm going to try to get back to the "Eat the Frog" mantra I discussed earlier in my blog. On that note, I've got work to to. Tiddles ya'll. ;-)

I realize there's been a lot of political sniping and banter going on lately. My guess is it's because of the high stakes in this years upcoming presidential election. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. I realize this. But I wouldn't feel good about myself if I didn't comment about this article.

Who does he think he is?! The almighty Shrubya wants to make a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. He says we have to stop the idea of marriage from changing. I say we have to stop him from being president for another term, and ensuring America's place as the perverbial shit on the heel of the world. In the name of everything holy and pure, please let this be the last nail in this idiot's coffin. After everything he's done to our environment, our position in the international political arena, and our economy and gross domestic product...why does anyone need ANOTHER reason to get rid of him?

What a month it's been. I've laughed, I've cried. ;-) This month I've gone through job interviews, and signed up with a temp company. I had my 25th birthday on the 18th. And let me tell you, it was the best birthday I've had in YEARS. I got to spend it with my best friend and my family. We had a great time! I've done some shopping this month, and that felt really good. I have some great new digs. I've been writing away on Savage Eden for the Jan/Feb 2004 Writing Dare at FM. I'm participating at the novice level, so I've managed to squeeze it in amongst my comings and goings. Yesterday I managed two write two chapters for a total of 2,337 words. For me, that's fantastic. I've also been working steadily on my 'Only a Novel' course novel. I've put together a notebook, and I'm getting ready to do some serious work on my characters.
The biggest thing that's happened to me this month is -- my best friend has moved to Virginia from Tennessee, and is staying with me at my parents house until he can find a job and a place of his own. He's been here a couple of weeks, and we're doing pretty well. Normally I get bored easily, and was worried I'd get sick of him. But he's been pleasant to have around, and I've enjoyed the time we've had together. My parents enjoy him as well.
