Current Music: Jimi Hendrix - If 6 was 9

Today I walked around campus completely beat, questioning my will to go to class, cursing the hot sun and just wanting to lie down.

So of course now I'm just wide awake, ready to do lotsa creative things. My head is really just swimming with something, a buzz, a high of sorts, and of course, I have to get offline in a couple of minutes and try to to get some work done for history.

Hopefully the reading will be more entertaining and enlightening than the lecture. How I didn't fall asleep on Tuesday I do not know. Some act of the gods I'm sure.

I'm really looking to succeed this semester.

Someone who has been reading my journal told me I am a good writer today. Something to the effect of my mastery of the English language. It's given my all sorts of renewed confidence about the entertainment value of what I write. I could be a writer I think. Story lines are where I get stuck, is the only thing. I set up a conflict, then I knock it down about four chapters later, and without it, I don't know how to keep my story moving.

However, I feel I am on the brink of something great. I'm just trying to think about Science and Math and History and not my next great piece of (unfinished) fiction.

(I really should pick up some of those things I already did and rewrite them a little. It's just they all seem so.. hokey now.)

Of course, that leads us to the question: am I really meant for fiction at all?

Some things to think on.

Leave comments! They make my day, you have no idea.

Jenna babe, I've always loved the way you write. I just can't always understand it because my "mastery of the English language" is.. well.. non-existant. :) I love you babe and I am so happy that you are working on staying focused. Just keep it up. Have fun at the Jump concert tonight.

Jenna, I miss you so much, and you know you are a freat writer. Atleast people come to read your journal... haven't been people to see mine in weeks... You have no idea how much I miss our daily mid morning, late night chats. Why does school have to go and ruin something so great like that??
