Writing in advance.

By
One thing I've been trying to do is write all my posts well in advance. Now this hasn't increased my post quality as they are all still very much just hashed out whenever I feel like but what it will hopefully do is control my urge to post 3-4 times a day. And give me material for those days when I do not feel like posting.

I don't like the posting 3-4 times in a day because I noticed I get bored of places that update that quickly....doing it once a month is okay but if you post too often then I feel like you did not take much time to think about what you are writing and you want me to just read scribblins.

I really dislike it when I do this and am hoping that by forcing myself to only one post a day I will be improving my writing. I like what I write when I take a lot of time on something but I despise most of the things I hastily bash out.

I have story ideas that I want to write but I'm not quite sure how to make time in my evening for them. Anyone else have this problem? You have multiple things you want to do, and you always seem to end up doing the 'easiest' one? For me this is WOW. I like WoW and I want to level but I often wish I had spent the time drawing or writing or cleaning up my house/garage*.

Time management.....is like eating healthy.... it is very worth it in the long term even if you dislike it in the short.

Well this post should hit Thursday. Today is Monday. We'll see how it goes.

*As of this writing the Garage is 1/2 spotless because Saturday I stopped for an hour....thats all it takes...sigh.

I know what you mean, my tendancy as a new blogger is to put something up on my page and then edit it 20 zillion times. I have to start writing in advance too so I don't do that!

Yeah writing in advance gives a -lot- more time to edit/correct things.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Guildless.

By
Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
