Current Song: From The Bottom Of A Well - Mike Doughty [
]
Current Mood: relaxed
Yesterday, Lissa and I went to a coffee shop to talk writing. She brought the first chapter to her novel and I felt dumb because I hadn't done shit. We sat outside, in the shade of a very nice looking tree. I read her writing (it's cool), gave her some comments and some tips, and mostly just hung out. Meanwhile the tree became an evil tree and rained down little seeds on us. The shop closed and we went to B&N to look at books so she could build her father's webpage. He's written 3 books and she's making a site to promote them. We sat in the cafe, flipped through awful self-gratifying graphic-design books. After taking a brief moment so that melissa could look at their kids section, she drove me home.
I am one who responds to challanges. Her having her chapter done was a challange for me to finish the story I've been putting off. So I got home and immediately finished it. And it's good. Hot damn,it's good.
Even better though was today I wrote up an entirely new story from scratch. It's a crazy tale of a crazy girl who's going to kill the main character. It's a short little thing, but will likely expand when I get around to rewriting it.
Which means in two days, I've written two short stories. Which means I feel totally cool. well, maybe not totally cool, but pretty-swell. Happy, anyways.
life is good when the depression stays away.
that's it...
