Still Writing

I'm not very good at "focussing", I should put aside a time to write and a time for other stuff... but I would use the writing time staring at a blank new line and then just take a nap afterwards. I only got anothe 1500 words in this weekend.

I'm gonna go to bed now, I've beaten "Peasent's Quest", which is nice, only got 139 points however so I might make another attempt... but probably not.

I've downloaded the Flash MX 2004 demo and I started recreating a character or 2 of my web comic in flash... it's deffinitely not as easy as powerpoint, but it looks a heck of a lot better.

I need to eat more fruit I think... maybe natural sugars and LESS caffeine would make me alert without the crashing an inability to sleep as side affects.

Dependency

So it's apparently this national novel writing month thing and I had intended to participate. The first couple days were just a no-go... I slept an awful lot and didn't write anything. I decided, seeing as I was going to have the next two days off to recover I would get myself the strongest coffee available to me and acctually write something.

Coffee is a drug, A Mocca Red Eye is like a hard drug, like crack is to alcohol as Normal Coffee is to A Second Cub Red Eye.

So I did manage to write 1200 words ( I was aiming for 1000 a day so I still have to make up for the lost days) and didn't crash until 1 AM or so after a long friendly argument with Trish... we were both apparently in the mood for arguing. Actually somewhere in there Gene came over and we had pizza... I guess since we're college agen and all that's pretty normal and we played some Guantlet Dark Legacy. Oh and I'm playing Peasent's Quest from Homestar Runner and so far I've gotten stinky, and now I'm trying to figure out what I can do now that I'm covered in mud.

Well anyways, I'm aiming for 2000 words this evening and I have an XL Red Eye and an XL Slurpee to fuel my creativity. If my brain explodes, then, I guess... this is GoodBye!!!
