Woops, Lost another Night....

 I was up all night, but I spent it playing video games again. Damn me and my procrastination, that's the real reason that 40,000 words is such a challenge.

To my readers I am happy to say that chapter four is completed. Unfortunately, I also have to inform my readers that I'm not releasing it just yet. Why? Because as I got to the randomly and newly decided ending, I also decided that I needed to go back through the very last few pages and add in about a billion details that change the way the reader interprets everything. Why? Because in the long run I know that this is one of the more important scenes in the book and I don't want it to just be slashed over with words and not with the full RJ effect. Seriously, I may procrastinate a lot of the time, but I don't put things out that I'm afraid will be terrible for the sake of being terrible.

Anyway, if I'm lucky I'll have the chapter re-finished by the beginning of today. That begin said, I think I'm going to go back to writing. I made 2,000 words yesterday (yes, I added almost a thousand already while re-reading that damn ending and discovering that I really REALLY needed to reword certain parts). If all goes to plan, hurray!

More Problems

So besides having my little brother here to talk to me and annoy me as I try and type stuff, I have had a pretty distracted and problematic day. (Proof - my brother just called me an asshole.) Anyway, went and saw Inception today. I actually recommend the film not because it is too hard to figure out, but rather because I enjoyed thinking about it afterward. I don't want to give it away, but I'd want to see it again.

Anyway, the problematic part came in when I talked to my Dad. He's super pissed off at me for no reason (for once I actually am innocent) and I keep telling him he's going crazy and he keeps getting madder and madder at me. So he yells at me, I get upset, and then I don't feel like writing because I'm not in the mood. I haven't done anything all day now. Gotta love family, right?

Hopefully tomorrow will be better and more writing will prosper. Also, I feel bad because I promised my friend that I would have the second chapter done by now so she would stop annoying me, but that's not happening so fast. Reason why, because I discovered that last night (or would that be two nights ago now?) was the last night for my beta video game. Now I don't have that game to play with my friend for a week (which might actually help with the production of more chapter 2 stuffz). Anyway, gonna get back to work and slap my friend via instant messages.

Oh, just remembered that I also have more books to read, so that might be my new distraction for the next week. Hurray! More distractions to annoy people wanting to read what I write with!
