My Daily Schedule

I guess you might wonder what writers do with their days while normal people are out working normal jobs. Well, if it's not obvious already, we write.

Actually, very little of my time is spent writing. I talk on the phone a lot, I read books, and I pick on my cat. Today I have had my laptop on for about three hours, and I have organized about two thousand words.

Hint the word 'organized.' I only wrote about five hundred today, but I found some writing I did awhile ago and added it to my new novel. That's why it's great to write every day, even if it's going nowhere. Sometimes, it ends up fitting in with your story.

This morning, my cat woke me up at six. I carried him out to the kitchen, made a big pot of coffee, and took a shower. I then read Good Housekeeping magazine, put on some mascara, and started the laptop.

I surfed the internet and wrote one or two sentences until eight, when I turned on Good Morning America. I watched and wrote, alternating until nine, when I answered a phone call and ate some cookies. Then I got back to work.

I don't do much in summer except writing. School is different. I write during class, in every class, throughout the day. I never stop writing when I am faced the responsibility to do something else.

Ugh, homework.

Seeing how today is my last day of summer before I start school again, I'm using it well.

Alice is coming over! YAY!

I Will Never Sympathize With Stupid Teenagers

 

There is a terrific thunderstorm outside, so I've taken it upon myself to light some candles and write naturally. Except for the whole laptop thing.

I was pretty upset today when I heard one of my teenage friends advertising how he got to go buy stuff from a liquor store. Like, come on. You aren't even close to the legal age.

And he put pictures of what he bought in his blog. While, in my blog, I have pictures of novel covers. Like I am making right now.

I do have to say, I'm giddy about it. Me and Alice's novel-- still Untitled as of the moment, is halfway done. It's beautiful, actually. I've gotten a little into it, so I downloaded a free trial of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, and I am going to make a cover. I'm super happy. We are putting on photos of our ideal main characters... Blake Lively and Nick Jonas.

Or at least, my ideas of the main characters. As Alice suddenly stopped IMing me as we were deciding.

But whatever! I feel creative.
