All Smiles and Sunshine

Stressed. I really am. I'm strongly debating on buying a PS3 or not. I mean after you buy the system and one game it's around 715 dollars. I'm a Nintendo fan all the way and I love the Wii, but eventually I'll need a PS3(because of the Final Fantasy series) That however is the least of my problems. I have $5,000 worth of credit card debt and, oh yeah, I need a new car.

So basically selling my book would do me wonders. I really need to work on getting the EOD's myspace friend count up, but I really don't want to be one of those people who go around saying "Oh hey, this person breaths, I'll send a friend request."

Well I was just writing for the sake of writing. Supposably it's good for a writer to keep a daily journal. On a side note, I'm pretty psyched for Pirates 3 this weekend. I'll write a review for it sometime after I see it. Ok, if anyone actually reads this, I hope you have a good day.

My adventure begins here and will one day end on the pages in your hands. - Andy

First post!

This is my first entry and before I start writing in this I would like to explain my views on the word "Blog." It's a strange word and I can't say i'm too fond of it. I have no real reason to dislike the word, I just get a bad feeling from it. Maybe the word is giving off a bad aura. I don't know. So when you see me put quotes around "blog" that is why, because I'm only using the word because everyonse else does. So there. Let the "blogging" begin.

This is going to be my professional "blog." I'm going to be focusing on my writing, but of course will stray into other aspects of my life, because God knows my life is too full and I need some place to vent. So with that said, here's my current thoughts.

NOT ENOUGH TIME.

I wake up, go to school and work, then come home and work on The End of Days until 1:00am then read and go to bed. I'm in the process of revising and adding more content to the first EoD book. I'm at 80,000 words now and plan on being at 95,000 by the time I'm done. It's just way too slow of a process. I'm hoping to have the book fully edited and be ready to query my life away by the end of the summer.

It doesn't help that this summer is going to be completely amazing. There will be so much to do that it's going to be hard to make time to sit here in my apartment and write my day away. There's plenty of movies and activities to list but really I only have two words: Harry Potter.

Come July I'm going to have to walk around with ear plugs in, talking loudly to myself so I don't hear any nasty rumors(or even worse ... truths) Either way I'm making this "blog" way too long. So I must go. I promise to make these more exciting ... if anyone out there is actually reading this.
