Frenzy.

So, I'm looking forward to what promises to be a busy day at work. This sucks since what I really want to be doing all day is writing. I'm in a serious high right now. With only 5 days left of NaNoWriMo left, I can actually see an end in sight. I couldn't get to sleep last night, I was so wired by the recent twists and upcoming scenes in my story.

See, there's a reason this is so important for me to complete.

I started writing when I was 14. By the time I was 16, I had completed two short stories. Since then, I have not completed a damn thing. I have a big box in my bedroom closet that is filled with bits and pieces of countless stories and novel ideas. Some are good. Some are utter crap. They all share that one thing in common which is that they don't have an ending. Hell, many of them barely have a beginning. For the last 16 years, I have not finished a single project I started. This is not encouraging.

Until now. I'm about to do something that I was beginning to believe I would never do. If I can do this, there's no reason I can't take one of my stronger projects and push it through to completion. I'm not as hopeless as I was beginning to feel.

So, if I seem a little distracted for the next few days, please forgive me. This isn't just a silly exercise for me. This is actually a major step toward a life's goal that I had nearly given up on.

Now, I must plow through my work today so it will go away and all I have to think about is my novel.

Blood Bowl!!!

That's it!

Pardon me. I've been trying to remember the name of the Warhammer "Football" game that features teams of Orcs, Goblins, and various other fantasy type creatures and a spiked metal ball, and weapons on the field and the like.

Blood Bowl.

My life is complete now.

Comics and stuff

I have a new Garfield comic on my cubicle wall. It's a favorite of mine. I've been admiring it on katz170's cubicle wall for months.

She stuck it on my wall this morning. Why? Because Kat, the woman who said to me, "Come work where I work! It's an okay job and we can have fun working together again!" only a few months ago, is now abandoning me.

Yes, she's leaving me alone here to slowly go insane while she goes to play with all the cats and dogs at the SPCA and get paid for it. Damn her for taking a job she'll love!

Congratulations Kat!
