The State of Getting Shit Done

I should leave for Spanish instead I'm going to write this. Story with a shitty name, and an equally shitty ending is done. I need to write my non-fiction story and another story for my thesis by next Tuesday. This means I need to actually get work done this weekend and the rest of the week so I don't have a repeat of last Monday.

Oh and apparently now I have to write 40 pages instead of 30. That's like...a whole other story. Fuck. I also need to buy a back issue of Black Clock to read and write a critique of for this.

Because I Should Be Getting Shit Done

The last day has been filled with me wondering what in the fucking world makes me think I'm any good at this fucking shit. Really. The story that I am currently stalled on page eight of is not that great. I can't even finish the damn thing. And I can tell you right now that I am not looking forward to hearing what my professor has to say about it because more likely than not it will be soul killing.

I'm pretty certain suicide fantasies are not a good thing. In fact I'm pretty sure they are the opposite of a good thing. But they are what comes into my mind when I think about the possibility of bombing Spanish and not graduating on time. And well that's not on, nor is it conducive to getting any fucking writing done.

I've dropped the f-bomb three times in this fucking post.

En Espanol

Does writing in elementary Spanish count as writing every day? Because I did that today.

No...

Didn't think so.

This is unfortunate.

Well to counteract that I will write this pile of uselessness.

Wait.

Wait.

Wait.

I wrote a page of non-fiction today. Admittedly, a good chunk of it was a quote, but it counts. Ha. There.

Also I'll have you know, I taught a little girl how to subtract today. Though that little girl's older sister was a bit of bitch to her. This fact is unacceptable considering the little girl in question loves dinosaurs which makes her awesome unlike her hipster in training sister. (She wears Disney Digital 3D glasses with the lenses popped out, and does not appear to have brushed her hair in her life)

Well Would You Look At That

I finished typing a story that I've been typing since last quarter. Aren't you proud of me? I know I am. Fourteen whole pages.

This doesn't change the fact that I still need to finish this other story (which I still don't have a title for, well other than the one A. so helpfully suggested but I'm not sure if "Title of This Piece of Crap Story" will fly so well), and type it before Friday.

And after that, well after that I need to come up with one or two more stories and write them. Never mind the Spanish homework I need to do. Or all of the classes I need to not fail.

I signed up for summer school today though. That's something else to be proud of me for. The fact that I have to be in Riverside until August so I can take Spanish so that I can go to CalArts. Ha. You wouldn't happen to have $500 would you?

A Sordid Tale of Romance

Oh Live Journal, do you think that if you don't work I will have no choice but to not procrastinate? Well then despite the many years we have been together, you don't know me very well.

You see, I have others. That's right. Others. As in more than one. One, his name is Facebook, another, Blogspot, but they aren't the only ones. There are countless others. Hell, some times I just load a comic I've already read ten times just to see if anything is different, anything to get away from getting any actual work done. I don't need you because they satisfy me like you can't.

What's that? You're working again. Well, then maybe we can work this out.

Business as Usual

Well not quite, I have been getting some writing done. Every day for that matter. Some very embarrassing writing that I shall not share with you, and some work on my next short story which don't yet have a name for.

I can say this though, stopping work two pages into a story and not picking it back up until a month later is a very bad idea and you should never do it if you ever want to write a good story.

Might I also add, Spanish is perhaps one of the most soul draining classes I have ever taken. Just yesterday we had a quiz, and we have a major test scheduled for Monday.
