A Day for Me

I'm late because I got distracted. I decided to upload all my important writing stuff to my Box.net account so I won't lose it if something should happen to my laptop...and my flash drive...and my DVDs. :P Just needed another place to store my writing. Now, if I can just remember to upload my files whenever I update them, I'll be doing good. ;)

I jotted down some notes for a new story idea I have in mind. I'm not writing it yet. I'm just jotting down notes. I don't plan on writing anything until I finish the screenplay, and whatever I write then will be shorter stories. I need to edit some of the short stories I've already written before I even think of writing any more novels.

I've been feeling really restless and depressed lately. I think I've been putting too much pressure on myself. That combined with other things has really gotten to me.

I'm still unsure of what to do with the dog. Jeff and I talked briefly this morning about putting a fence around part of the back yard where we can let Niki roam free. I don't know if anything will come of it, but we'll see...eventually.

I miss Chloe. :(

I miss my studio. :(

I'm really loving my Atif Aslam CD, and wish Prince: It's Showtime was already out on DVD, but that won't happen for a while. ;)

Anyway, I'd better go. The day's half over and I haven't really done anything yet. I'm using it as a day to just do what I want to do...whether or not it involves writing.

Have a great day!

Wednesday Writing Sprints!

I'll be participating in Wednesday Writing Sprints today over at the forum. I'll be working on character journal entries. I'm going to write an entry for each "villain," then if I can squeeze in any more, I'll write some for my heroes and/ or secondary characters. I'm eager to get started, but I've got to finish up online first.

My Firefox browser kept messing up last night. Three times I closed the browser, and every time I opened it I found out it didn't save my tabs. I had to open them manually all three times. :/ But then along came Eric to the rescue. He told me about the Flock browser. I downloaded it and I love it so far. It even has a photo stream near the top of the window where I can view thumbnails of all my photos on Photobucket! :D

So I can just copy and paste the code into an entry, like this:

Cool, huh? :)

I never went to Sweet Bay last night. I wasn't able to get my laundry done in time, and I decided to wait until next week to start going on a regular basis, anyway.

OH! I don't think I mentioned this here, but I'll be taking an online course at the Cherokee Nation Web site! :D The classes are Mondays and Wednesdays, I believe, with archived classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. If I can't view the videos from home, I'll view them in the archives on Tuesdays. I need to see about getting there early. Maybe Chelsey can run me in some afternoons. :)

We have a wind chill advisory and a winter weather advisory. I haven't been watching the weather at all. I'm just hoping we'll be able to get to Little Rock safely on Saturday. We have to take my mom to the airport.

I've got to run. Have a great day! :D
