HAPPY SEPTEMBER

 

I'm still feeling the funk you guys. Everyday is kind of different, some good and some bad. I feel like I am getting the bunt of everything at work, its honestly like a roller coaster. Most days at work I am bored! Yes, two months in and I am bored out of my mind. I never have anything to do! On a good day I'll have 4 hours worth of work, but then I still have a half day of nothing but to read the same shit over and over again. Now imagine doing that 5 days a week! And there are moments at work when I am stressed out or put on the spot. Thankfully those moments don't last very long, but still. To be bored all day and then have your blood pressure spike. Maybe, I am overreacting a little bit. I am just a natural worrier and when I am put on the spot I want to do well.

But honestly when I spend the day at work not doing anything, it kills me. I could be doing something more productive--running, working out, writing my book, anything besides staring at a screen for hours on end.

The book writing is going well. Hard work. But well.  There are times when the words flow so easily, and other times where I have no idea where to go next. The first few weeks I was focused on making everything sound really well. So the first two chapters are excellent. But then I got impatient, and I didn't want to loose the ideas I had in my head. So now I am just cranking away and writing as many chapters as I can. I thought I'd at least get the main plot going and finish the story and then go back in and fill in everything else. The last part would be touching it up and making it sound nice. I honestly wish I hard more time to write. Its all I want to do right now, but I have Spanish classes 2x and now Dodgeball on Wednesdays.  That doesn't leave much time during the week, plus I am training for my 10k next month. My best writing is done on the weekends. I head to the coffee shop on the corner early in the morning and stay there for half the day. I get a lot done. Ultimate goal is October to have the whole first book done. I'm shooting at about 60k-65k words.

My September goals are not to focus too much on my birthday (its honestly always a flop), to run my little heart out in preparation for the halloween 10k, and to write write write!
