I don't know if anyone is still reading my blog, but what the hell, I'll post. I've had such a hard time going to bed at night recently. I wake up at like 7.15 and go to bed at 12.45 to 1.00 AM. God, it's horrible because as soon as it's midnight, I feel like writing. I've had a bit of writer's block, but more so, a lack of ambition to write. I sit and stare at microsoft word processor for an hour and write more than a sentence though I know what I want to say. Has anyone else had this problem? I wish I could trick myself into thinking that it's 12 at 9 that way I can actually get some writing done. I'm going to use the piece I sent in to Caldwell's literary magazine as the first chapter of the story. I already started chapter 3, but I haven't done chapter 2 yet XD Oh well, it'll come together. Below are some writing quotes I liked for whatever reason.
"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."
-Toni Morrison
"Writing is easy: All you need to do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead."
-Gene Fowler
This one takes the cake XD: "If you want to get rich from writing, write the sort of thing that's read by person's who move their lips when they're reading to themselves." -Don Marquis (I think Stephanie Meyer must have read this... If you don't know, I loathe what Twilight has done to this generation's taste in literature... if you can call it that x.x)
