Do I lead what might possibly be the most boring life? Not that I mind. I'm actually kind of partial to boring. Anyway, trying to figure out what I'm going to do that is creative this year. Part of me figures I should start writing again. Then again, another part of me figures I should edit the book I've already written and see if I can make anything of it. Of course, being a first novel it probably sucks, but hey, I read lots of stuff that sucks. That doesn't seem to stop anyone else. I've also toyed with drawing. Not that I have any talent for it, but I figure it takes less time than writing and I have no where to go but up. While being a competent but not great writer can only lead to frustration, going into something where I know that I don't have talent can only lead to improvement, from truly dreadful to sometimes, if I look at it, it can be not bad. OK, is this some of the most bizarre logic you've ever heard or what?
As for other goals, I didn't exercise last night. I did read. Learned that Salmon Chase was an egotistical jerk, and that basically Lincoln outmanuevered his rivals by being a better politician than they were. His rallying cry? I'm number 2. Hey, it worked. Kind of. If you don't count that assassination thing, that is.

Holy cow! Change in scenery, batman! At first glance, I thought I had clicked on someone else's blog link... woah! I like the change. (Speaking of creativity! =) )
As I've told you before, I LIKE your written work. I think you should edit what you've written and see where it goes. (And you're too funny about reading lots of stuff that "sucks"... you're right, it hasn't stopped others.) =P~
Bizaree logic? Yes. Also healthy, in a way! *Write, write, write* (That's my chant - you know, it just doesn't translate as well in writing.) And remember... I'd love to read your work when you're at a point where you're comfortable sharing. =)
Keep up the goal work!
