Horoom Mah Hmm

Four books in three days. Not bad, I say!
Went to the library on Tuesday, checked out If I Stay, by Gayle Forman, Wintergirls and Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, The Book of Ruth by Jane Hamilton, and The Hobbit by Tolkien.

Finished Tolkien first, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Started The Book of Ruth and hated it. One chapter in and I was disgusted. If I Stay was gorgeous, as were both of Anderson's books.

Now I am reading Of Rice and Men, the book my brother checked out. Lots of reading this week, not as much writing as I wanted to do (so what's new?). Lots of sad moments this week, but good moments, too. It's been a week--that's what I can say.

So. I am thinking of being secretive and starting a private e-mail account for an anonymous blog, because I can't stand to delete this one. We'll see.

Tomorrow I am playing flag football (maybe. If my team needs a player) and, with the memory of my cringing stomach muscles after doing ten quick push-ups on Wednesday, I am not too happy about the possibility. BUT. I am almost looking forward to it, too. Who knows? Whichever way the wind blows.

I realized that this NaNoWriMo holds no chains for me creatively. Why follow the plotline? Indeed, why even bother to write one cohesive story? Isn't the point of NaNo just to write? Why not just write, then, without worries about 'does this fit with the proposed plotline' and whatnot. Who knows--maybe it will take a curve and turn into one story, after all.

So right now I'm writing about Death, who's actual name is Absalom.
I'm leaning toward a love story.
