15429
That's where I am so far. I feel like I'm totally behind, having taken a night or two 'off.' Oh well, that's life. I finally have a direction to go in, so I feel like the rest will just fall into place.
It's a pain though, not the writing process, just worrying about whether or not I have it all down: I have a character who goes through a significant medical crisis (a stroke) and I'm not sure if I have it all down. The point is, though, that I have to just write, even though its' wrong, just to get it written, right?
Even though 15429 is a pretty dope number, according to my goal of 1667 words every night, I'm off by one night. I am enjoying myself, really. It's kind of exciting, but it's taken a lot of work to keep focused. I find that i do my best writing around 9-12, and if I'm on a roll, I can knock out the daily average in an hour or so.
I'm not going to go into much detail about the characters, but it's loosely based on a conglomerate of a life I've led; figure that if I'm going to try and crank out 50K words, it might as well be somewhat familiar to me, right? And don't you go in there trying to find out who you are or what I've revisioned as you. I hope that I'll be able to finesse the piece more when I'm done with it. So far so good, I tell myself.
Saw the state of the union tonight. I had to quit watching it because his eyes were freaking me out. MacWorld was the shit yesterday, kids. I have to post pictures for your viewing pleasure, but in a meanwhile, the iPhone? Sexy. That bad boy is like porn: dudes crowded around it, coming from it at all angles, wanting to touch it, see it, smell it, but more likely than not, take a picture of it. There were two of them in glass cases, and everyone had to get a piece, but your Voodoo Mama says oh no child, I'll be back here while you boys have at it up there. I also had the great opportunity to talk to developers, those small companies who are cranking out great products to the peoples. I happened upon a few of them from the fun MyDreamApp project as well as MacAppaDay. It's real nice to meet the folks who put out programs I actually use (Overflow, Pzizz, and Noise) and give them live feedback: "Your app is the shit!"
Anyways, it's high time I passed out for the night, kids! Nite nite and once again, be creative this year. Sucks to be repeating yourself over and over again, even worse to reiterate what someone else said without citing it. And yes I meant that for someone in particular. Didn't you learn anything about plagiarizing? Tsk tsk.
