Get Me Back on Track

I've been pushing writing to the back because of a visiting sister and a trip home, but I need to put some words down. I've only managed a few hundred in the past several days and I need to get more. It's hard to focus when my schedule changes like this.

After having car trouble on the way up to see my family, I've started dreading a visit to my parents' house. I don't want to hear my dad grumbling about my problems with cars. When he finds out I forgot my papers for the car at home he'll be even more annoyed.

I just impregnated my protagonist. She's not very excited about it, either, considering her husband let her down big time. I hope things get better for her soon.

Time to Relax

OK, I'm not really going to relax and be lazy. I don't want to. A friend suggested I sign up for the novel workshop class next semester, but it's full and I can't. I said I still wanted to write a novel along with my friends in the class, so I'm getting started now. I have to figure out what I want to write about by the end of the day tomorrow, and get started on it. So far, I have no idea what I want to write about. I did just decide this about a half hour ago though.

I'm looking through my writing notebook for ideas. I want something fun and light. Most of my pending story ideas are pretty heavy and require research that I don't have time for.

I'll be referring to the NaNoWriMo web site for some help on this. Luckily, I have over four months to write my novel. Gonna check this out at the library. Has some good reviews at Amazon.

Now, to get thinking. I'm thinking it should be a relationship sorta story. Something I won't have to research. Any ideas out there would be welcome. Please share!!

Making Some Bad Decisions

I don't know, sometimes I know I'm making a mistake but I can't help myself. Like with the guy I keep having issues with. We get along great when it comes to writing, and we have a good time hanging out, usually. But at times he makes things more complicated than they need to be and we end up hating each other.

I should just keep my distance but I'm not. We're back to hanging out a lot. We had dinner together yesterday and today. It was nice. He's really encouraging about my writing. He wants me to get published and we've decided to collaborate on a book. He came up with the initial idea and I ran with it so that we now have a good basis for a novel. We have to do some research for turn of the 20th century period and figure out the plot details.

I want someone to encourage my writing and I love the idea of getting a book written finally, but I don't want to go through the drama like before. I'm hoping things are cool this time.
