At the moment I am behind by 200 pages in War and Peace. My class meets at 11, and I am not reading.
Yesterday marked the first day that I wrote for over an hour in like 2 or so months. Thanks to the kitchen timer (which goes off at the end of the world) I made it through and wrote on. For the first time I made it through a short story, also. The story must be pretty lame, but I haven't looked at it.
Synopsis: A student goes into class early and writes: "Canada is a colony of the U.S." on the chalk board of his history 101 class. He nervously waits to see what happens (as do I). Then a few other students come in and one erases the board. The student that wrote on the board dreams of working in the oil fields and stocking up guns for the end of the world. Then he and the other student talk after class. Then he goes to the library checks out a book and starts reading. Back at his dorm someone knocks on his door and he goes and parties with his roommates.
lame, HUh>?
not bad for the first attempt at a story in like 4 months.
I hope my cd comes in the mail today:
Tonight, I am going to write again. Wish me luck.
