It's been awhile I've realized...

since I've actually sat down and written something. I need to get with this. Especially if I'm trying to finish my novel by next year so I can shop it out to agents... School and other stuff just takes up so much time and energy that I think about writing all the time and never get anything done. I need to start trying to write a certain number of hours a week. I can do it. Just three maybe. Three hours a week isn't bad right? And it's more productive than I have been. Saturday is going to be a big writing day too. Since I have nothing better to do. lol. Aren't I sad and pathetic? Not really I could care less. I think I might do an internship in Austin next semester. A public policy one. It will be really interesting though to see who wins the presidential election. I was thinking about going to D.C. but I realized that Austin will be perfect since that's where my novel is set. If I was living there... perfection. I'm sure I'd have free time to write and stuff too. Plus I'd be immersed in the setting with new ideas around me all the time! Maybe I'll have started the second one by then!

Ok I met this really awesome writer at ArmadilloCon (sorry rapid subject change, keep up) named Phoebe Kitanidis and we became pretty good friends. However I have managed to lose her email address and all other avenues of getting in contact with her have failed. If anyone has ideas for how I can contact her they would be greatly appreciated.

WOOT! Finals are over.

So I just got back from my McDonald's comfort run after my last final for the first summer session. It's about RIDICULOUS that the next summer session starts tomorrow. What I'll do to be able to leave this place sooner astounds me.
Now I'm able to return to the rpg that misses me and write more (starting tomorrow morning at 7am!) as well as sleep. This weekend I didn't sleep much. But I'm about to go get my comments on the Merlin story. Edit it up and then send it off to apply for ArmadilloCon's writing workshop. Hopefully I will be able to continue cultivating my contacts with writers there for when I (hopefully) move to Austin in a year. Woot! Wouldn't that be sooooo much better than College Station? Yes I think so, too.

Also now I'm able to read again!!! Not stupid history books but all those books I couldn't read yet that I bought the other day. Right now I'm working on Mercedes Lackey's Ill Met By Moonlight. She's one of my standby good authors. I love all her stuff. But there's a lot of other stuff on my shelves too. Oh and last week I finally bit the bullet and talked to my adviser about wanting to go to graduate school. It didn't go as badly as I was afraid it would. Looks like me thinking about taking a year off might be a possibility. I think I want to do my masters at UT, that's what it's looking like now.... So if I don't get in, I doubt I can get in anywhere I want to do my PhD at, I think I'll just move to Austin, get a regular job and write full time for a year. I need to work on my second foreign language anyway and I think ACC offers Italian which is what I want to take. Or German.... Still haven't decided which to tackle next. Any opinions? lol. I love when I write these things like people read them. One day!!!! I'm a secret optimist trapped in a cynic's body. No denying it.
