So, today was interesting. Was able to talk to a couple of old friends, and also a new one who has been doing her best to keep me in the right mindset lately, and for that I am indebted. Not allowing me to dwell on the bad things had made it easier to just sit back and enjoy the good.
On that note, I think I want to try to get back to writing. It's been a while since I've done anything, and it's somewhat hard to get into the mindset with work lasting as long as it does. But it's something that, while taxing, I felt was rewarding. There's actually several ideas that I have floating around in my head, and I think it would help me to just lay them down and to see what story lines I can draw. It's a rather eclectic mix ranging from sci-fi to rather more dark subjects. The ideas in my head my not be full length novel worthy, but I am drawn to the works of Phillip Dick for inspiration, where he just took a great idea and told the story, typically in short stories that covered a little over a hundred pages. I still have a sci-fi book that I've been working on that I really want to get back to finishing as well. I was powering through the rough draft when the divorce started, and I put it on the back-burner. I think finishing that up would really go a long way for me. Right now I'm about 2/3 of the way done with the draft, with just the final interlude and lead up to the conclusion of the book to go. I need to re-read my draft to brush up on what exactly is going on. Maybe that can be my mission for this weekend. I think the final draft will end up being a couple hundred pages longer than what I have, with everything that I already want to add to the rough draft.
Anyway, I'm starting to ramble.
So why is it all the new friend requests that I have are from pink haired girls? not that I mind at all, but why the hell aren't there cute, pink-haired girls locally? Or even any that are interested?? I think I live in the wrong state...
