This has actually been sitting in my drafts for months…I just added on the last few paragraphs.
“Dad,” I started with an embarrassed tone in my voice as I approached him in the living room. The TV was sputtering out current events of missing people and politics in the background, my dad intently watching.
This week from December 9 to December 15, 2007, I wrote a total of 2,798 words. Over the past three weeks, I have read the entire book, Anthem, written by Ayn Rand and 137 pages of Best Seat in the House written by Allen Rucker. I am so sorry that I haven’t been able to come on, write, update the website, write the overview, or finish up the meeting slideshow, but I will get it all done some time…I have just been so consumed with homework, babysitting, band things, etc. I really hate how busy this school year is keeping me. I have no time to myself because I do homework from the moment I get home all the way until I go to bed, and even then, I usually don’t have it all done…As I said before, when I have the time, I will most likely cook up a rant.
This week from December 2, to December 8, 2007, I wrote a total of 943 words.
This week from November 25 to December 1, 2007, I wrote a total of 1,180 words.
This week from November 18 to November 24, 2007, I wrote a total of 2,512 words.
Dude, I have been so busy, I didn’t even have the time to do a Check Up! Seriously, I didn’t mean to miss it, and I did remember it, I have just been so swarmed with life and stuff that I haven’t been able to do much of anything else. This also means writing, so this week from November 18 to November 24, 2007 I only managed to write a total of 925 words. Most of it is on my third chapter of The Club which I am still working on. I officially decided last night that this school year is the worst I have had for a few reasons. The bell just rang though, so I have to return to my busy life. Maybe I will have the time to type up a rant later on…
This week from November 11, to November 17, 2007, I wrote 1,352 words on Magic Pens and 3,020 words off to make a total of 4,372 words. I read the last 65 pages of The Grapes of Wrath written by John Steinbeck, but then re-read 206 pages again making a total of 271 pages. I’m sorry that I didn’t do more than that, but I was really busy and was once again bombarded with a lot of homework.
I tried making this as real as possible and even asked my dad what he would do in this situation. I wrote what he said that he would do and the next chapter will also be what he suggested that I do because of it.
Should I go? The question drifted within my mind, invading all of my other thoughts. I couldn’t stop thinking about it each moment of my day, and it had been keeping me awake at night. I yawned and stretched out my arms, leaning my back over the worn cushioning of the backrest of my quaint computer chair. I had already been tired, yet homework insisted that it take more from me.
This week from November 4, 2007 to November 10, 2007, I wrote a total of 2,122 words. I also read 148 pages of The Grapes of Wrath written by John Steinbeck.
I’m not sure if anybody uses the Guide to my Blog that I have linked on my sidebar, so I have stopped updating it for a while. If people still use it, just comment here and I will resume updating it and make it even better than before, but if not, I will just take it down.
