I don't want to go back to work!

Oh well, money needs to be made, bills need to be paid. Last thing I need are some collection agencies breathing down my back.

I'm going to try to get a 11 to 7:30 schedule, rather than 3:30 to midnight. It would be nice to get out of work early enough so I can have a social...

Fourth story. Four days.

This story is the shortest of the four, weighing in at only 4 pages. This one was written to the sounds of the album London Flat London Sharp by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, which I would love to dance to. Ladies, any takers?
This is probably the most autobiographical of all the stories. I did musical theater once or twice and...

My third story in almost as many days.

Now this is something I have never, ever done before. When I write it's usually sparse, stories take days to put together. Maybe a paragraph here and there. This is so far out of my comfort zone it's almost scary. I like it though, it's a really really good feeling. It goes with the whole impulsive thing...

My second story.

This one is a first draft so feel free to tear into it, any problems, inconsistencies, likes/dislikes, let me have it.

I don't even have a title for it yet, but here it goes. Also, if you haven't checked it out yet, go two posts back and read Walking With Your Eyes Closed, pretty please.

Today I am meeting my new stepfather...

In case you missed it go one post back, read the new (okay, old, but I finished it) story I wrote. You can be honest, tell me to give up all hopes of being a writer and stick to my day job. I can take it.

So anyway, I had lunch with a friend today and we were talking about being impulsive. How thinking of...

Here is a story that is, let's just say, a long time in the making. It's the first story I ever really started working on as a serious writer. I experimented with different revision styles, and even completely rewrote it a few times. Here it is though, the nearly final version of my story. It's four in the morning and I'm well aware that there...

It's payday, so you know what that means. That's right, I went to the bookstore.

Now most of the time when I go to the bookstore I have no idea what I want, I just go to browse.

First, I go to the new arrivals, and if there's anything I like I take a mental note, because new arrivals are usually in hardcover which means...

I finally got my ipod to work in my car.

Oh that makes me happy.

Oh it's been a long day, but it's been a good one.

Up at 10am for a 2 mile jog. Also, I'd like to say God bless women's exercise fashion. It's just so damn comfortable...I mean, so good to look at. Definitely good to look at.

Now that I've outed myself as a jogging stalker, let's move on.

I went looking for running shoes today,...

To show how busy we were at work today I read an entire magazine cover to cover (The July Esquire, except for the Angelina Jolie cover story, only because I don't care about whatever it is she's doing), and I finished 150 pages of a book.

There's an article in Esquire about brutal honesty, where the author tries it out for a little bit (with...
