today has been pretty busy actually, which is unusual as most thursday aren't too busy. but even though it's nearly time to go home, i just wanted to write because i wanted to say that my pen pal erin is amazing. because of her i've honestly been working pretty hard on my story, and having a pretty damn good time about it too. i've been pondering that the lenght of my story may actually be way long now. for forever now i thought there's no enough substance in this novel, there's not much that happens. now that i'm actually writing it, i realize i may have more than i think. my goal is write a 300 page book, and i think it really might get there. pretty scary when i think about it. in any case, i'm so happy about it, i'm on page 16 now. i'm working on chapter 3. i hope the next time erin writes me back i'll be through with chapter 4. i just mailed her a letter on tuesday. it's a tough goal, but damn this writing stuff is a lot of fun. i'm finding it easy to write now. of course, i still get all bleh when i have to click on that document, but once i get into it, the creativity doesn't stop. how amazing is that? i didn't know it could be this way. it truly feels like i can do this this time.
