And In the Beginning There Was a Writer

Here it is. All my work. Ever. All of it. In front of me. On this desk. Today begins the arduous process of going through all of this to find the good stuff. It will be a fun journey, going back through all my writing, seeing how terrible it was. And how surprisingly good it was in many ways. I'm excited to start this project and I hope you all are interested in my progress which I will be posting here. 

Notice the awesome Harry Potter journal. Just thought I'd point that out. Here's to a best seller!

How to Get Out of Bed

This morning it was very, very cold in my bedroom. The warmth of the bed was so lovely, I could have stayed there forever. I know many of you sympathize with this feeling. So what gets you out of bed in the morning? For me, this morning it was:

1. I had to turn in a paper at nine o'clock that I worked really hard on yesterday and is probably worth twenty percent of my grade in that class.

2. In order to make it to that class looking somewhat decent, I at least had to change out of my pajamas and put a hat over my nasty hair.

3. Breakfast. There were some tasty doughnuts left over from yesterday.

Now I'm back home and all I want to do is crawl back in bed, even though it's past noon. I think I have a serious problem.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Doughnuts and Papers

Here I am munching on a chocolate dipped doughnut as I look at the finished product: my eight page paper. Praise all those holy beings I am finally finished. That took way longer than I thought it would.

Just remember, when you accomplish something great, reward yourself with a doughnut. It's incredibly satisfying.

Off Day

It is really hard to be motivated on my off day. All I want to do is lay in bed and not accomplish anything. Unfortunately, I have a paper due tomorrow, so that's not happening.

I hope you all have had time to read some of my poetry and stories. I am really excited to start sharing my writing with a larger audience.

Remember, if there is something you have always wanted to do, do it! I waited to long to start being serious about my writing. It is a great feeling to know that I am actually accomplishing something.

Of course, there are those people who will not support you, who you feel like judge you for trying to do something else with your life that is different. But I say, ignore those people. Take charge of your life and do what you love.
