Spring Break!

By solarisgaudium

Dudes I’m so happy right now! This week is spring break, which means I can finally relax and concentrate on the things I’ve been neglecting. So when I hung out with a few of my friends after work yesterday I mentioned how I got the next week off, and I found out one friend has two weeks of break, last week and this next week, another only has one day, and my college friends don’t get a break till after the semester! I thought that was pretty interesting.

Anyway, I am happy to announce that I have conquered my writers block, which means I’ll be able to work on my book again! I’m so close to finishing this draft that I can barely stand it! I know I’ve said this before, but I’ve been working on this book for years, and having it so much closer to finishing is a fantastic feeling. The closer I get to finishing the more impatient I get, so I have to make sure I’m not rushing the ending, so that it doesn’t end weird. Luckily I have a few friends willing to read it when it’s done and help me fix whatever inconsistencies I have and make sure it flows smoothly 🙂

I’ll continue to post my progress, and hopefully my next post will say something like “IT’S FINISHED!!” or something. And when I mean finished, I mean the first draft. The next step will be the fine tweaking and then figuring out how to publish the thing. I have no idea how long this will all take, but I have a goal to get at least all of the major writing and editing done before I have to get ready to leave for the summer so that I can work on the next book while in Virginia.

I hope all of you have a fantastic spring break if you have one, and if you don’t, I’m sorry for your loss. See ya!

A Month of Practically Nothing

By solarisgaudium

So I just sorta need to vent a bit so you don’t have to read this. Who knows, I might put something inspirational at the end like I try too, but we’ll see what happens. This will probably be just rambling 😛

SO! Have you ever felt like you’re life is going nowhere? Like you’re in a rut and not quite sure how to get out? I’ve been feeling this was for a while now. I think most of it is because I’m SO excited for things that are going to happen in a few months. At the beginning of June I’m going east with my Best Friend 5-ever and we’re going to get jobs for over the summer. I’m excited for this for a few reasons: 1. We’ll be in Virginia and I’ve never been that far east    2. It will be the first time I’ll get a full-time job    3. It will be the longest amount of time I’ll be away from my family.

Now. What my theory is is that I want it to be June so badly that time has decided to slow down JUST FOR ME and it feels like an eternity. Plus, I am slipping into this routine everyday where I go to work, I go home and lounge around, I go back to work, I go home and lounge again, then try to sleep, then the cycle starts all over, with a few different activities on different days. This is very frustrating for me because then I feel like I’m doing nothing with my life, when in reality I’m just waiting. Waiting for my adventure to begin.

To make things worse, there are so many things I could do between my work shifts, but I just spend all day either watching YouTube videos or on Tumblr or web surf the same pages over and over again. I could be working on studying for my SAT, I could be recording music for my YouTube channel. I could be oh I don’t know WRITING!

But I’m not. So I have a question for you guys who read this. Do you have a way to motivate yourself to do things you should? It’s very possible my depression is why it’s so hard for me to be productive, but if there’s a fun or cool way to maybe trick myself into doing stuff that would be great 😀

I you have any ideas for me just comment on this post. That would be way cool.

Thanks for reading this rambling of mine. I do feel better already just by writing it out 🙂 I hope you all have a wonderful day!
