Okay, so I may not be as savvy as Netta but I'm getting there.
I've been doing a few page modifications as you can tell and this morning I realized I really need to review my HTML stuff.
I might steal some books from my brother Rob and see if I can make myself better at coding this summer. It is a good skill to have.

So...my links. HeavyGlow and Flashshot are two places that have published me of late. Yeah, my first two publications ever. It's pretty sweet. And of course The Story Board Forum is Netta's baby that has launched in to a pretty good place to steal some inspiration and get some good critiques and help.

I need to get back on the writing wagon this summer. I did alright this year with ventures in to flash fiction and knocking out the occasional poem. It kept me alive and I think those are genres in which I excel since I have writer's A.D.D.

However there has been an epic which I have been tinkering with forever, since I first started writing at the age of eleven. I don't know if it will ever been done since I don't actually have a plot and I'm still building and reshaping the world in which it all happens. I do it constantly and I tend to build characters over the years. I think it's also just something that relaxes me, to go around an explore the world I created in my head. I have notebooks full of it, just constantly rewriting it.
But this summer I may try to get down to business a little more. I have a certain character that was born in tenth grade out of a vocab story who I think I may honestly go and try to write some more history for.
I mean, the world is rather unoriginal, the smooshing of the...jeesum tons of fantasy novels I have read over the years. It's more of a play ground than it is anything I ever honestly plan to do anything serious with.
If I were serious about it it would not be in notebooks, it would be typed up in Word. I put things on the computer when I really think they're good and that they kind of good somewhere beyond my notebook worlds, that they're out of something else entirely and are not really as much a part of me as my scrawls are.
I think I may have to start drawing to be honest. That's where a lot of my story is. It starts with an image that I can describe down to the last detail. The other stuff is just sort of a way of patching the images together or the scenes, the movies of my mind.

Speaking of movies and images though, my mom has said that I can use her video camera and really nice digital camera this summer. That makes me very happy because I sort of covet their digital camera and groan because they don't use it very much. I have taken some great pictures with it before so I think I'm going to do some wandering and have fun with it and experiment.
The video camera though...for that I need a story. I'm still waiting for a feasible idea to spring forth. There's a whole range of possibility but also a lot of time needed for trial and error. I may have to employ Kacey in this endeavor and see if she will be willing to be my subject or help me out.

I want to get back in to my creative self this summer. I think I should manage it as more avenues have opened up for me.

Hum hm hom. That's like an ent phrase or something. My friends say I walk like an ent.

Anyhuway.

My music. Yeah. This selection is just a variety of the music that I like and listen to a lot. They run through my head a lot. There are some others that I listen to frequently but since they're all local I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have them on the Playlist thingy. Most of them are connected to some memory or another or just make me feel good or just seem to flow with my mood. My head is like a jute box and always has something playing in it, even invented tunes.

Man, has it really only been a week? Jeebus cryza. I already miss my girls.

My room is already DISASTER ZONE. I already have white hair on everything. I've been sleeping nine hours each night. I've hardly changed out of PJs. My belly remembers the food I put in it. My hair is like "BWAGABWAH! Attack!" every morning.
I get the morning greeting from Eva of being UBER excited and weaving all around my legs, snapping happily and trying to lick my face. Konnor just does a head bob and trots over to me for a pat on the head and then a butt scratch. Bizzy's greeting this morning was seeing her little black eyes looking right at mine like "Are you awake my love?" as I had just lifted the blanket off of my head a little. Probably one of the best things I've ever woken up to. She looks so cute lately.

*yawn* Meh. I really need to get outside today. I think I've isolated myself long enough. I need to get in to a fitness routine again and start my walks again.
I need to clean my damn room too if I'm going to be a good roommate next semester.
I need to watch the Iron Chef marathon. Hahaha.

Well I'm going to get my lazy bones together. Peace.
~Lo

P.S.
I love you all and apologize for any neglect these past semesters. I will come back alive.
