Getting Closer

I made a bad choice today of going with my Mom to a home improvement store. I forgot that those places are like the black holes of time and souls once you walk inside of them, at least for my family. We spent three hours in two home improvements stores and only bought one track light. We went in not for a track light. In truth, we went to the first store in look for a type of door, which did not exist, and then for a hook, which also did not exist. Then we went to the second store (which was not the same as the first... as in not the same company) and went looking for a medicine cabinet. They had one that was what my Mom wanted, but the package was opened and she feared it was already broken. We did not buy it. However, we did end up finding a track light that I don't want to hang but I know she is going to try and make me hang. I plan to try not hanging that piece of crap. We also searched for the imaginary hooks again, which still did not exist.

So three hours later I came back with two things. One was an idea for some stuff that will happen later in my story (and it is really cool, can't wait to write about it). I've noted it into my sticky note for this story (which I usually don't think TOO far ahead with, else I might get bored). Anyway, the second thing I brought back was a huge bag of annoyance. I didn't want to write and I didn't even want to watch TV. All I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. I chose to write though and ended up spending an hour trying to make 1,000 words make sense. I gave up and decided to play video games for a little. That seemed to help.

Anyway, just finished up writing a little bit more and I'm getting closer to making my goal for this month. Hopefully by tonight I will be within 5,000 words of the goal (and I'm hoping to be within 3,000) so that writing for tomorrow won't be too bad. I'm positive that I'm going to make it this month though. Amazing considering where I was like 10 days ago.

Sorry for the Lack of Updates

 Life has not been too great the past few days and as such I've gotten almost nothing done. I'm actually really upset with this because I really do want to get another 40,000 words out. So let me explain a bit.

My Dad has been putting stress on my back because he doesn't like that my Mom and I have such a great relationship. As such, he makes me upset and completely destroys my mood to write. This in turn has affected how much I've been able to get done on a daily basis (which explains why I am already falling far behind). I need to get caught up now, I don't want to stop something that I enjoy, but at the same time I need him to stop pressuring me for no reason.

So stress is basically killing this right now and I'm sorry there haven't been as many updates as I would have preferred. However, I struck it a little lucky tonight because I woke up from some noise early on. unable to get back to sleep, I've started writing. Hopefully this puts out a few more words, but no promises. I think I also need a new television show to watch between ever thousand, that seems to help me get more done. Maybe I'll  just watch a show I love again.
