Random Acts of Wednes

[wednes]

While I don't want to be one of those chumps who makes 3 paragraph posts about a dream they had; I will mention that I had a dream which made me think of some things. I often forget to live life to the fullest. I desperately need to be doing things I feel passionately about.

I had the idea that doing a random act of kindness might put me in a better mood. So I selected the most deserving person i could think of, and bought them a cool gift. First i took a cab to the mall, then off to Hot Topic to pick out a cool T-shirt. But they didn't have "just the right thing".

So...to Walden Books, where again, I had some trouble deciding. Plus some guy kept following me around, trying to talk about essential oils. Finally I chose James and the Giant Peach, and The Giving Tree. Because those are excellent, "Katinka" really liked them.

I was going to see a movie, but I just didn't feel like it. I felt sort of tired and cranky, plus I was mad that I woke up so early after planning to sleep all day. I mean, its my only day this week i don't have to get up for something and i was wide awake after only 5 hours of sleep. That is no freaking fair!

H just went to Subway to get me a chicken fajita wrap. After I eat it, I think I'll take a nap.
Also, I need to make a plan to stat writing every day...not including LJ.
So starting tomorrow, I will write 2 pages or 2 hours every sinlge day except Sautrday, when I work a double. We'll see how it goes.

I've put myself on a writing regimen for the last two weeks, and I'm quite surprised how well it's gone. I finished a 6000-word short story on Thursday and wrote another 2000-word short story Friday and Saturday night. So, it does work!

Cool, thanks. That is most encouraging!

I tried doing that. Writing 2 pages or 2 hours. I did well for a week, then gave up on it. I tried to rush through then came to a halt at a problem I had not forseen. To fix the problem I was going to have re write almost the entire story. I prefer to spend time to figure out exactly what's going to happen next to avoid these problems.

I know what you mean. I have a story I started in 1995 that still isn't finished because it keeps needed rewrites.

I hope I can get back in the habit of writing daily. I need to write more than LJ related stuff.

What kind of stories will you be writing?
Adventure? Satire? Drama? Fantasy?

You could write about the Quiznos fur creatures, and how they're here to enlighten us with their knowledge of the space-time continuum.

I write horror for the most part. But since I am naturally a sarcastic, funny chick I'm going to try to write more like I talk...put more of myself into things. Then like me, my work will either be loved or hated!

Nice..
A generous sprinkling of Wednes is a good idea.
If your writing is anything like your LJ, I'd imagine the stories would be quite a hoot.

[wednes.livejournal.com]
