Nada, nada, y pues nada

On the subject of my own writing, I really have nothing much to say. I just figured I'd bookmark the date anyways, as it has been so long since I've written anything.

Basically, somehow I got it into my head that once I got back to school I'd have more time to write for my own self. I don't know where I got that notion, since it's completely ludicrous! Along with my job (babysitting three boys!), I'm doing school, which is a full-time job in and of itself if you include study and homework hours. Then I have other miscellaneous tasks to do around the apartment to keep it livable. As it is, my room is a MESS! (Though compared to my standards in high school, it's practically spotless!). The only reason I have time to write in my blogs now is because I've been sick for the past week, and I have the day off today (I have all week, but before this I've been sleeping the whole time).

In any case, here's what I've done in the past two months: nothing!

Well, that's not true. I managed to read two whole books (in a series where I read the first two books in three days when I was at home...just to give you an idea of the difference) that weren't schoolbooks (since I've read a bunch of those). I've also written papers and notes, but that's not creative at all!

A while back I started this story that I've labeled "Dreamwalker" for now (for lack of better title). I probably started it about a year ago, but stopped when I came up with a more interesting story idea. I've been bringing it up every now and then when I think about it, because I actually really like the idea. It's based in reality, but it's about a girl who gets dragged into other people's dreams unwillingly. She goes to WSU and has 3 roommates who are boys, and 4 neighbors who are also boys. That was unintentional, but when I realized that, I decided it was a perfect opportunity for me to play on the "Snow White" story. Not only that, but I had already given her the French pronunciation of Cinderella as a name, and "Sleeping Beauty" for a nickname (as people think she is narcoleptic). I've been working on this one a bunch lately (as in, I managed to write a WHOLE PAGE!!!) in between classes. Though I recently took my editing back out, and I'm planning on dragging it around with me everywhere, so that at least when I get a spare moment I can work on it and maybe FINISH it. I'm still exactly where I was when I headed for school.

All in all, it's been a very unproductive start to my year in the writing department. Quite depressing, I think I'll take a little bit more time out of my day to write a little bit. Maybe once a week. My schedule can handle that, I think.
