Okay, that's a lie.
As everyone knows. hehe.
Anyway, today's been strange, my emotions have been running a riot, and I've also been enlightened on the way, about myself actually. It's interesting.
So, today my mother got me up at the crack of dawn. Yes, passed 8am is still extremely early for me. Leave me alone! I love sleeping. So she'd just deposited my brother off at school, today was his last day of school before he closed for the Easter holidays. When is Easter btw? I should really keep track of these things. O.o
Anywho, she woke me up and told me that my dad was in a rather chipper mood, so he was taking my mum to the post office to get her application membership thingy to the Romance Writers of America (RWA). So she was unbelievably happy, and I was happy for her but grumpy too because I'd been woken up before my curfew. Well actually, there is no curfew, so I might as well strike that out.
A few minutes later, I found myself in the car and on my way to the post office in the city.
We finally arrived, and then the lady-person-thingy-ma-bobber says they don't have International Money Order forms to the USA. So you can imagine it was a bigggggg, WTF situation with my mum since we'd travelled a long way to get here. AND i'd missed breakfast. Note to people: Stay away from me, if I haven't eaten. After four tellers and no progress, my mum and I were both disappointed. Well I was just ticked off.
'Cause turns out, they no longer have International Money Order forms for the USA. They had discontinued it! And it was so ridiculous because first off, the US military is here, as well as loooooots of immigrants from the US itself, so why the heck wouldn't they have an International Money Order form thingy? Talk about infuriating!
Anyway, this is how I ended up being enlightened about myself. Sitting in starbucks in a mall a few minutes later with the parentals, I realized how much I was fuming over incompetence of the people at the post office, and how I hated the word 'no.'
Actually I kind of always hated the word 'no' I'm not spoilt by any means. Well, atleast I don't think so. But yeah I just don't like it. I hate ineffciency too! That bugs me a heck of a lot.So yeah, that's basically what I realized about myself.
Anyway, I found this really useful site after skulking around the Berkeley Sensation website for some reason.
I found this writers resources page of theirs, and let me tell you, its super duper helpful. So I clicked on a random link, and it ended up being the motherload link for all writers. It was chockablock full of links on absolutely everything to do with writing! I almost choked, when I saw that. Okay, no. I fib. I was just amazed into shock. So anyway, I found this link and it lead me to Holly Lisle's website. The woman is a mad genius. She'd invested so much time in creating a writers resource section, I was just blown away. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. From, articles to How-to's, to Workshops etc. The works!
I seriously urge people to check it, especially writers who are just starting out.
Its a godsend. If I ever meet Holly, I'm probably going to jump on her. Someone who knows her might want to give her a heads up! =P
Anyway to conclude this, blog, I'm already in the middle of chapter two of my novel. It's going brilliant! I'm so ecstatic about it. I've set myself a goal of 5000 words. And i'm already on 4800 and something...
I never thought I'd be able to accomplish goals. I always go off on a tangent, but giving myself this itty-bitty goal and being less than 200 words away from it, I can already taste the sound of victory!
Okay that made little to no sense. I just meshed two senses together that are now questioning my functionality as a human being.
Well...it's not like I said I was, or anything.
hehe.
Hope everyone's enjoys their weekends.
P.S if anyone wants the link to Holly's website. Click here!
