Internet!!

I have been out of internet for several days, probably closer to a couple of weeks. I have not been able to get a single damn thing done. This has made me realize that technology plays a bigger part than I may have thought. I am not a high school graduate and on my way to being a college freshman. Since getting internet back I have been applying for jobs like crazy. I feel like I need something in my life. I need something other than the internet, my parents, and my boyfriend. I need to make a name for myself. I desperately need to feel worthy and I am finding that extremely difficult.

Side note, I have been outlining and planning my novel. The plot I am forming feels like it could actually go somewhere and I am so freaking excited. If any of you would like to know the plot, please let me know. I would love to tell you all about it.

Last note, have any of you had any issues with Wikipedia lately? I tried to post an article and every time I went to publish it it said it saved but then disappeared. And now the website won’t even load for me. If anyone has any information about this please please let me know because it is vital I get this done.

Thank you!

Novel, Yo

I was in the car with my parents and little brother on the way to this Walking With Dinosaurs thing, when something hit me. I was thinking about my doomed dream of writing a novel, when I remembered a quote. “If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die” – Mik Everett. This got me thinking about my other half, and his journey. His journey, even though he is only age 17, has been a long and torturous one. Immediately, I thought of a brilliant novel idea stemming from this. I would write the story of him, only, not really him. He is providing me with a basic skeleton of a story, which I will expand into so much more. When he reads the finished product, assuming I ever get there, he won’t even recognize this character as being himself. I got really excited, and promptly began messaging as many people as I could, that related to him and his journey, for research purposes. I got many responses leading to a lot of information that would benefit me in this writing. I am beyond exciting to get this going, but I know that the hardest part is starting and staying started. I don’t want to spend years on this project, but I suppose if that’s what it takes then that’s what it takes… I just need to get myself started, like, now.
