Yes, I am very aware that I haven't posted on here in almost a month. But, honestly, my writing life has been in a kind of rut lately. I always have the Promise series, but I have mixed feelings about that. I know the whole story in my head, so I'm reluctant to write it down because I'm afraid I'll screw it up.

But I have four more days of school. I swear, these last few weeks have been the longest in my life. I finally turned in my research paper for my expository writing class, so that's one less thing I have to worry about, but I still have a TON of German homework and geometry homework that I need to have done by tomorrow. Morning. I swear, my teachers really need to realize that we only have four more days of school and they need to stop pushing us. I just keep tell myself that if I take it one day at a time and don't fail anything, I'll be fine. I'll let you know how that goes ;)

So, last night I was randomly thinking and avoiding homework, and I got to thinking about me being a total spoiled brat and owning two laptops. Tamara (the Gateway) and Bob (the mac). I bought Tamara in January so that I could put all my novels and such on a computer that wasn't for school. And that worked out really well, minus a certain event in March that we don't talk about. But I don't think Tamara ever really recovered from that. She's just had one problem after another, it seems. And she's just so delicate. Because of the way she's built, she doesn't automatically sleep when you close her. This means that if you close her and pick her up wrong (this has happened) she'll shut down. It also means that battery life can go dead if you forget to put her to sleep. And I've also had random programs open. But Bob is such a normal laptop. He's so...sturdy, for lack of a better word. I've never had any problems with him at all. So somewhere in all of this I decided that I was going to start using Bob full time again, which pretty much means that I wasted $650 on Tamara. I don't really feel like buying her was a waste, but it kind of was. Like, I feel like buying her was stupid, but it was one of those lessons that I had to learn for myself. But then I didn't know what to do with her. Like, what do you do with just a spare laptop lying around? My boyfriend thinks I should just keep her for a spare backup, and I think he's right. There's two weeks over the summer that I have to give Bob back to school for updates and hard drive-wiping, so then I can just use Tamara.

Also, I really have no idea what to write. I really want to just stick with the Promise series, and that's not a problem. I can just keep writing it. And if inspiration strikes and I decide there's another novel I want to write, there's no law saying I can't write it. I had a write-in tonight, and next year's NaNo came up as a topic. I guess I hadn't really given it much thought, but assuming I don't write it over the summer, I think The Number Five would make a great NaNoWriMo novel.

I'm honestly not even sure if anyone actually reads this blog because no one ever comments, but if they do, is it weird to just hear me talk about all these stories that you've never read and have no idea what they're about?
