Apologies and Everyday Life

So I've discovered that I'm really bad at this. *sigh* Oh well it can only get better. So I was going to have my blog post on what it means to be pro-life written but apparently jet-lag was more intense than I had anticipated. So that's my excuse, lame as is it is, now onto the mildly better stuff. 

I finally read Stephen King's On Writing while I was in Europe. I'm not sure if I would go as far as to say this book changed my life, but it definitely gave me some perspective. I've always taken my writing seriously, but reading his book gave me a glimpse into what it would look like to write for a living, and what type of dedication it would take ( I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to write... or anyone who enjoys reading, it has some really cool stuff on story telling). As a result, I've taken down one of my stories from facebook because it is getting overhauled this summer :). I'm also polishing/writing several short stories in hopes of eventually publishing one in a magazine sometime this year. *crosses fingers*

So this means that I am in a frenzy of writing, trying to churn out at least a 1,000 words (which isn't really all that much) a day on my novel, spruce up or create a short story, and still find some time to work on the articles I want to write for my blog. My summer which had seemed so barren at first glance has suddenly sprouted new life. I'm not complaining too much. 

I'm also in the midst of Wastelands by Stephen King... his Dark Tower series has sucked me in... but that's a whole other blog post.
