That's What I Needed....

I haven't been writing and I've been feeling stuck in a sort of bad place. I want to write because I want to make my monthly goal, but on the other hand I'm so sick of writing that I just can't get myself to do it. So instead I sit around waiting for the words to come to me, which they don't, and go off to play video games.

Okay, okay, I know that this is nothing new. Can't write means go play games. Well the games are finally getting a little old and I'm starting to get bored again, which means a reverse in the flow of my work. I woke up a few hours ago and thought instead of playing the games I would go write. Hurray, I actually wrote some stuff and I plan to keep going after a short break.

Hopefully nothing new comes out to ruin this again, I want to get a few chapters done in time for my friends birthday. She could use an awesome present like the continuation of the story I'm forcing her to read. Let that be noted, this is her present and I probably won't be giving away the next chapter until then. I know, cruel and unusual torture because I left the last one so suspenseful.

Now, as far as the story goes, should I give it to a few other friends to read and get opinions on? I have one that wants to read it and another one that would probably read it if I asked him nicely and used his girlfriend as a warden (because he didn't even read her thesis... tut tut tut). Except the problem is that if I give it to the friend that would want to read the story, I fear she'll be mad if the ending isn't happy. I'm not saying the ending is going to be sad, because I'm going to choose the best one possible, but that doesn't exactly mean it will be happy either. See the problem. As for the other friend, it probably won't get read so why send it. Anyway, I'll open a poll and maybe do one a month for all the wonderful people that follow me on here... who ironically are all my friends anyway.

Words for the Month: 6,855 / 40,000
Total Words: 46,898
(Oh my God, so far behind...)

EDIT: After looking back at July... I am strangely almost exactly where I was on July 11th... still, I was behind all that month. Strange how that happens to me.
