There's absolutely nothing to do today

I'm stuck in a rut I think. Today is just a wasted day and I don't know how to change it. Yesterday (after work and pho lunner (lunch & dinner) with Craig) was about the same as today. However, Craig toughed it out and went with me to the mall and the book store to buy.... NOTHING.

That's right, I didn't buy a single book, a single piece of clothing (even though I was tempted on multiple occasions). We even went to two book

stores! I almost bought The Luxe and Gone, but Craig couldn't find the

book he wanted so I thought it would be boring for him to stand in line and wait for me to get yet another book.

So, after that boring time out last night I guess it was only fitting for today to be full of nothing. We are so bored that this morning we watched 27 Dresses... a chick flick. If you knew me well enough, you'd know that I don't watch chick flicks--well besides ones with Julia Roberts of course. And neither does Craig. But we sat through the EntIrE film. I didn't do anything else but watch.

That's another sign of boredom. I'm always doing

multiple things at once. For example, right now, I'm writing this blog, listening to music, and researching butterfly mythology (you'll understand the last thing later). I actually sat down, watched the move, and didn't write/read/play with anything else. Craig was shocked at least.

I guess I have worked on my book some too in the past couple of days. I have 50,000 more words to get in and I'm trying to get it done before Christmas. I'm on a good track right now with it, and I hope I can keep it up. One thing that I was thinking while I was showering (more proof of doing multiple things at once) was how cool it would be if my book was good.

I know, that sounds funny. But I was thinking... what if (and bear with me please) my book is so good that it gets reviews like... "It's the next Twilight" or "I haven't read anything this good since Twilight". Because one, Twilight fans are crazy, so I'd love crazy fans. And two, Harry Potter was a big thing, Twilight was compared (more off of the fan base and popularity than the storyline and all) to Harry Potter with things like "It's the next Harry Potter" or "I haven't read anything this good since Harry Potter"

So, I'm working really hard on trying to make it good, and not boring. Developing the characters with each edit session is thrilling. They're fake people, not based on anyone, so it's like finding a new best friend or boyfriend and learning what their life is about. Now I'm not looking for a new boyfriend, but you get what I mean.

I want so badly for this to be done so everyone can read it (and like it) and buy it and recommend it and obsess over it.

Anyway, I mainly did this blog because Jason thought he was getting jipped out of blogs because I hadn't given him anything since 11/4. I haven't written anything since then because I've been surprisingly busy, except for today, and last night.
