Reflections

  Well, I'm missing the deadline! Yes, it is tonight at midnight, which is almost here and there is no way that I can write almost 2000 words in time. It's like I waited on purpose so that I would miss it. Strange, I know, but I have done everything the last two days to get out of writing, instead of finishing. I now believe that it must be called 'stress'. Yep, because now that the deadline is here, there is this relief. A sure case of sabotaging my own efforts.

  But of course, I'm going to make a really good last minute push to get some more words in. I may go ahead this week and finish my 5000 words even if it goes pass the deadline. After all, it was a first time experiment in the first place.

   So I thought I would talk about a few things I have been doing lately. Such as what books I've been reading. Ardell, author of the blog, Requisite Danger, did a comparison review between some of the James Bond books and the Bourne Trilogy, and since I loved the Bourne movies, I decided to read them. I am just finishing up the third one. And yes I really did enjoy them. Although, the language got a little strong, especially in the second book, but thankfully it was in spots and not every other word. Also a lot of the violence could be skipped over when it gets too graphic. 

  I am really glad that I watched the movies first! The movies were not like the books, which would have been disappointing if watched after reading the books. But as it were, the books being different only adds more to the story, and in some places, a totally different story, so it was great.

  Ok, drum roll please!!! At midnight I had — 3279 words! — whooohooo! Pretty good, for the first time. This is the most I have written in a consistence space of time, for probably – ever. ((My brain feels exhausted!))

  Now, I'm quitting writing for tonight and going to finish my book (the Bourne Ultimatum)! Maybe I'll think of some more words to say later! Bye…
