Back Again

What I've been up to:

1. Work. This is a given.
2. Writing! Holy crap I'm proud of myself. I've made myself a goal and I'm trying very hard to keep to it. Three pages a day. Nearly 150 pages by May 1. That will bring me so much closer to finishing my book. No, I don't know when it will be done. I'll only know that when I'm done writing it. I am not one of those organized writers. I don't have all the chapters plotted out. I have ideas of where I want the story to go and some events that I want to happen and I just take it as it is. I go where the characters lead and work my stuff into their world. I am getting incredibly excited by where the story is going now and more excited where I think it will end up. I am currently writing chapter 16.
3. Music is my muse-ic. As ever. It relaxes. It inspires. It saddens. It cheers. But I'm starting to run my favorite songs down by listening to them too much.
4. My other blogger, the photo-a-day one is nearing its end. I'll soon be turning *gasp* 27...and my year of photos will be over. I'm thinking a year of haiku next. ;P
5. Finished re-reading Harry Potter a while ago. Started another series and have read 2/4 books. It's not bad. Also started Life of Pi and am picking up The Thirteenth Tale again after a long time of not reading it and stopping in the middle. Really wish I'd read it straight through because remembering the characters and plot has been slightly challenging.
6. Still trying to sort myself out. While I feel a lot better, internally I know that I haven't found a true balance between things yet. Money (namely not enough though I've heard too much also can be a hindrance) sucks.

So, that's it in a nutshell. Welcome Spring!
