I'm still here, I guess. I freshened up the look of the place in an assuredly-to-be-futile attempt to write more. I dunno. Is this color scheme too goth looking? There's that camera-phone self-portrait too. If that's not a meta-comment on the absurdity of social media and personal projections on self-image, then I don't know what is.
So. What to talk about now that there's a fresh coat of paint on the walls?
Oh! Did you know that it's National Novel Writing Month? Yeah, I'm not actually doing it. I think it's something that I possibly could do, but why the hell should I? Sure, 50,000 words would be a great accomplishment at the end of a month, but for chrissakes, who needs 50,000 words of rambling, disconnected, Adderall-soaked prose? (I might if I could acquire Adderall, but I'm not exactly in college anymore, and drugs are bad, mmkay?) I tend to agree with Laura Miller. Still, I should be sticking to my goals, which I have been doing a pretty pathetic job of doing. Not a week goes by that I don't try some new method of getting/keeping my shit organized.
Oh well. I ought to get to work on something useful. There's some dirty dishes in the sink. And, oh yeah, there's that book I was thinking about writing. At this pace, I may have 15,000 words by the end of the month. Which ain't exactly a big stinkin deal, but it's still progress, and we all know progress is a good thing.
The color scheme is a tad Goth, but not goth enough to get you an award from Peter Murphy or anything...
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Goth, Einsturzende Neubauten is playing in Chicago on December 8th and 9th. The 9th show is at The Metro, which is an interesting venue.
