Walking this road without you

Thinking of you, wherever you are,
We pray for our sorrows to end,
and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds,
but they share the same sky-
one sky, one destiny.
Grr... my word count is pathetic. But whatever. It would be so much easier if I weren't writing about something serios, and we could have wacky fun adventures. But that isn't this book. Perhaps after I"m done with this I'll write something that is pure nonsense... or not. Anyway, today Sa-chan and I went shopping at the Whole Foods Market. We had on our snobby nice clothes and our nice purses, so they were really nice to us this time. Then we went over to Chik-Fil-A or however it's spelled for lunch. And then over to the best buy there to ogle Macbooks. I really really want one. *drools* So pretty. ANd I tell myself that to be a real novelist I need a laptop... because in my head I see myself writing in cafes sipping lattes.... when in all reality I'll probably write at the kitchen table with a hot chocolate. -_- but it's a completely legitimate excuse to get a best buy card right? Anyway at Best Buy I bought a Tegan and Sara CD. I don't know why it's taken me so long to really get into their music. I heard them and liked them, but didn't really do anything about it. Then I heard their song "Where does the good go?" On Grey's Anatomy (I've become obsessed with Grey's Anatomy. I watch nothing else.) and I've been hooked ever since. Several times while watching I've actually recognized them playing in the background.... which really isn't all that difficult. They have very unique voices. Anyway back I go to novel land. I'm only about.... 7200 words behind O.o oh no...

I was falling really far behind, but then I discovered Write or Die and I think it may just save me. Well that and the fact that my novel no longer consists of a single narrative but rather a bunch of random different scenes over the course of two or three years in the lives of my characters... maybe I should just make it a collection of fictional memoirs when I edit. It might make more sense that way.
Anyway, as of last night I was at 7730 words, when I should have been at 11667. :| Today so far I've managed just over 2000. I'm not caught up by any means, but even if I write nothing else today,m I'm atleast ahead of the 1875 words a day I would need to finish at this point. Oh and write or die also proved to me that it is technically possible to right a n awful terrible 50,000 word novel in 25 hours. So I haven't lost hope yet.
I also have to keep in mind that a lot of people I'm comparing my word counts to are people who are off on the weekends and get to use that time to really push their wordage up there, whereas weekends are my busiest times with work. Anyway I'm off to lunch and prepare myself for work then IU'll probably try to get ins some more work.

Only Day 4 and madness is already setting in.... that is to say I'm falling woefully behind. I should have 6,668 words down at this point. Instead I have only 5,248... that means I'm 1,420 words behind. *headdesk* That's nearly an entire day's worth of words behind... and I started out so good!!!!

Okay, well I'm back but I was not gone off on an exciting KH-fueled love adventure... oh no. I wish. One week ago, The sky opened up and threw ice at... well most of the southeast as it would seem. I lost power Tuesday.... I've had it back all of 20 minutes now. I have never been so happy to just sit at my computer, and be warm, and happy and not have to worry about dying of carbon-monoxide poisoning in the middle of the night, or wake up and find my dogs have frozen to death. I am so happy (with extra-Nick-accent on the happy).
Big hugs to Nana, her parents, my uncle and his girlfriend, my brother, and all the people at work without all of which I might not be here, or my dogs might not be here, or my mom might not be here, or my fish might not be here, or I might not have a job, or food, or a house... okay so I am a drama queen. But that's why you love me.
Anyway, Nana, when you get on message me, if I'm not in my room, I"m not far, and will be back as soon as time or my mother allows.

I'm looking for ways to entertain myself as this year draws to a close. There are lots of things I should do, instead I'm going to begin compiling...

That's all I can think of at the moment, brain poop and still 22 minutes to midnight.
More Fandoms to come at a later date *This is very much a work in progress... it will be done.... never. It will never be done because there are an infinite number of fandoms, and in those fandoms an infinite number of pairings awaiting my seal of approval... I'm not self-important at all, I swear.
