And it doesn’t help when you’re sick. Yeah, I think I’m coming down with something. It’s kind of…demotivating.
Still, 715 words isn’t too shabby. I’ll definitely write more over the weekend. What’s more, a pretty little romance story has sprouted up in my novel…
…and it’s kind of annoying, because I want to finish it soon. Next time I should outline better before I start.
Still, it’s going to be kind of nice to have a love interest. I sort of saw it coming a while ago, but recently it’s been coming up more, because I’m starting to get to a part where the girl realizes how she feels about the guy, and the guy finally stops being oblivious. I listened to a panel on how to put romance into a sci fi story at LTUE today (I actually had a meeting with a professor, but Drek was kind enough to record it for me), and it’s got me thinking about this.
It means that the story might not end quite as soon as I’d thought it would. But it’s going to end, and I know where. Sort of.
Next time, I should outline better.
In other news, I’m probably going to be picking up a job soon. I saw a listing on the job boards in the wilk for a job in the bookstore that works really well with my schedule. It’s a stockroom delivery job, from 7:30 am to 11:30 am. Since I don’t have any classes before noon, this could work out really well.
I’ve been without a job since the fall, and I’ve noticed something–I really don’t like spending money when I don’t have a job. Not that I’ve been broke the whole time–I’ve had enough for my needs, plus a little bit extra–but it just doesn’t feel right for me to spend money when I don’t have a job. It’s as if I feel guilty doing it, like I’m leeching off of someone or something. It’s kind of weird. But once I have a job–once I feel like I have ownership of the money that I spend–I think it will go away.
Of course, I hope that I don’t get sick with something serious before the first day. That would kind of suck.
Still, I’m blessed. Life is fabulously good. So was LTUE–great time geeking out this weekend!
And…there was something else I was going to say, but I forgot.
I’ve decided that for each of these personal update posts that I write, I’ll add a link to something moderately cool at the end, just to keep you guys who read this from getting too bored (like Drek). So, here’s a link to something cool: political cartoonists interpreting the meaning of Valentine’s day 2008. Oh, joy.
