Oh, seriously?

You have got to be kidding me. I mean, really. Seriously, dude?

I JUST figured this out. After two semesters of school, and who knows how many papers...

Microsoft Word will generate a Works Cited page for you! It asks all the info, and it fills in what needs to go where! That sucks beyond imagination! And you can even pick your format! It knows APA, MLA, Chicago, among other things! Seriously, dude? Why the hell did I do all of that work??

OMG! We had that quiz on citation pages! I could have just used frigging Word!

GAH!

Well. I know for next year, eh?

InNoWriSu?

Okay, so I've decided (once again) to actually finish my dragon novel. And I need some sort of drop kick to get my butt in gear.

NaNoWriMo sounds like just the drop kick I need, but there's one problem.

It's in November.

This in turn creates two sub-problems:

November is not now, and by the time it comes around again, my motivation will be gone.

Also, November is smack in the middle of finals at school. I don't want to be sitting at my keyboard writing about dragons when I should be working on my degree.

So, for me, I'm doing InNoWriSu. Individual Novel Writing Summer. It's not national, of course, 'cause it's only me. And it's not a month, it's the summer. Makes sense, yeah? Yeah.

Foiled AGAIN

Why is it that I can't come up with any idea that Karen Traviss hasn't already beat me to? I swear, I was writing a sci-fi story with a character named Aras... WELL before I ever picked up a Wess'har Wars book.

I was so proud of my little idea about authors vs. nutters! Well, KT beat me to it again...

In the list of ten reasons why writing is a great job...

"3. Your eccentric behaviour is regarded as a sign of creative literary genius: anyone else is just as mad as a box of frogs."

Damn you, KT....

Ironic...

I'm on Facebook reading flair about procrastinating on writing a novel while I'm procrasinating on writing my novel.

However, in my defense, I have been procrastinating on this novel for the past seven years. But my writing skills have just now got up to the task. Like George Lucas waiting sixteen years to make the Star Wars prequels.

...

Oh, dear Mand'alor, I can't believe I just said that.

I have to go get the meat tenderizer now. My brain needs delicate surgery.

Authors vs Nutters

Here's one.

If you hear voices in your head, and they all have their own personalities, and they talk to you, and they talk to each other, and they have a mind of their own... you're stark raving bonkers.

However, if you hear voices in your head, and they all have their own personalities, and they talk to you, and they talk to each other, and they have a mind of their own, and you write it down... you are a literary genius.

I'm just saying.
