Journaling

While I haven't been blogging with my current WIP like I was with my first(due to the fact I have no internet at home), I have been journaling. If nothing else, each time after I finish writing I write down my new word count. Depending on how many minutes I have left until my lunch is officially over, I may also type out a few notes. What I say just depends on how easy or hard the words are coming. And, like I said, sometimes I only put down my newest word count.
Journaling, even if it isn't public humiliation, aka a blog, is still helpful to me. Often times people just aren't that interested in hearing my repeat my frustrations or excitement. I can't blame them, sometimes I get tired of saying the same thing over and over again too. At least on the computer no one else has to listen to me :) Some day when I have excess time I'd like to compare my current journal to the one I wrote during my first book. It would be interesting to see if there are any similarities. Of course, seeing as how I never have an abundance of extra time, it's not all that likely to happen, but still.
Any who, I don't remember if I ever mentioned the new member of my family. She came along before I lost Foster Boss, so she's not a replacement at all. Her name is Chloe and she is an adorable almost 2 y/o chocolate lab. Ironically enough, her birthday is 2 days before my boy's. And no, I didn't know that when I got her. She is absolutely lovely. She puts up with anything toddler does to her and she's not dumb as a box of rocks. She ain't perfect, but she's not the worst 2 y/o lab I've ever met.
And now, to end this blog; I watched Water for Elephants yesterday and fell in love. With both Robert Pattinson(again) and the story(for the first time.) I fully intend on getting the book and reading the story. It's not an option to do otherwise. Also, I will be purchasing the DVD as soon as it comes out. I'm not going into details, I"m still in the savoring stage, but trust me, you need to watch this movie.
Okay, over, out, and keep on keeping on!
