You're gonna do what?

This guy is a genius!

Well, I bet you're asking yourself what you did to deserve another post so soon huh? Actually you're lucky you're getting anything because I spent 30 minutes typing up an entry and AOL decided to eat it...GONE! Which was a pity too because it was a good one, really funny. I cant promise you that for this one, I'm still pissed off. 

Ok, lets see. Oh yeah. I was sitting in psychology class the other day listening to my professor drone on when he said something that actually caught my attention. Wait wait wait. I have to backtrack first. Ok, everyone knows that I've been working on a novel for about 2 years now ( at least I think they know). Anyway, if you didnt know, you do now. So, I've been having problems with it and didnt know what was going on. Back to the classroom. My proffesor says " We expect perfection in most things we do and it isnt possible so we give up or ....blah blah blah....He was right!!! I couldnt move forward with the novel, I was dead-ended by my own crazy vision of perfection. I kept revising and changing things, never to finish the damn thing. Ok, so now I know whats wrong with me, how do I fix it? It wasnt the answer I wanted. In fact it was terrible. START OVER. Brand new. And write for quantity, not quality. Have a deadline. No editing allowed. No backtracking. What goes onto the paper stays there. I started today and by November 30th midnight I will have written a 50,000 word novel. It may not be good but it will be a novel. Once its finished I can decide if its worth revising. So, there it is. Today I wrote about 1,600 words. I dont mind if people read it while I'm writing it, I have 3 internet friends reading my dailies. They've promised to be gentle and not criticize too much, realizing that it is an EXPERIMENT and also my first real book. Oh, another thing is, I have no plot, no character outlines, no storyline, nothing. Everyday is a surprise. Let me know if you'd like to get the dailies as well.

Sydney as "Queen Of The Darned"

There's no trick or treating out in the bush so she tagged along with a friend of hers that lives closer to town. She made out with about 15 pounds of loot.  Avery stayed home this year, he hates that shit anyway.

The good thing about Fall around here isthe lack of BUGS. No more dive-bombing wasps or huge bumble bees, the grasshoppers have all gone and we haven't seen a black fly in weeks. WooHoo! Trust me, its something to woohoo about. Now its lady bugs, they're everywhere. But at least they don't bite.

I came home today and there were 15 of these things in my house. I have no idea how they got in.

Well, its after 10 so I'm off to bed. I'll write again when I can.

Toodles.
