Writing Blog
For all those interested, I've created a writing blog to post drafts of things I've written or I am writing. In some cases, these are just exercises or ramblings, in other cases they are chapters part of larger works. Some are non-fiction, some are fiction, some are even fan-fic (
only so I can write something quickly to practice).
Please feel free to read through it (and comment on the writing!):

How did I go in this direction?
It's been awhile since I've updated, and my hands are already tired from typing the last several days, and scribbling with a pencil when I've been away from my computer. Still teaching at DMS - won't change that part of my life if I can help it. I love it there. Showed our guitar instructor Finale today, and he's hooked.
Finished subbing a long time ago, and found myself with extra time on my hands. So, I wrote several outlines for small stories that will probably never go anywhere. Then, I started editing a story about a necklace - it's more interesting if you know more, maybe I'll post part of it here. Then, I thought of additional characters for that short story, and what was once a ten page story is now thirty pages and three chapters long. I've outlined the general plot of where I want to go with the story, and I just want to keep working. I love boredom! Now, it's one-thirty in the morning and I know I should get sleep, but my mind keeps weaving the story on me. I love it. I know I need to sleep, but thankfully, my family knows that when the creative bug hits, it keeps me awake all night long (I lose the rhythm once I stop - I guess I'll lose it when I go back).
It's the same feeling I felt from composing, only less work and instant gratification when I go back and read the work I've done. Need to stop though or I will lose the feeling in my hands from too much typing!
