Writing: Day Two

     Today was the second day of my writing adventure.  I have added 700 words since the last post.  So far it has been loosely based on some parts of my life.  There are, however, some things that are very different from my life. 
     I have yet to show it to Paige yet.  I am not sure how she is going to take it or if she will even like it.  We work very well together in creative ways.  We act as an editor for one another often times, and it is helpful to have the ability to bounce ideas off of an equally talented person (hopefully that will score some brownie points).
     Recently Paige has been doing some PR work for a new restaurant, Skys, that has just opened up in downtown Gadsden.  By the way we had lunch there today and it was pretty damn good.  You could taste the quality in the ingredients that the chef used.  Paige told me that people come eat at the restaurant just because he is the chef there.
     Any who, she was rewriting the mission statement, and I was giving her suggestions of what to change each sentence to when I realized that I could totally do public relations.  I am a good writer, and I know what people want to be told.  I understand advertising language and tactics used to entice people. 
     So all of that means someone needs to give me a job in public relations.  I am pretty good...and cheap.

Writing

     Today I started some free writing.  When I get bored I like to play around on StumbleUpon.  One of my likes is writing, and often I stumble onto pages where people are talking about writing.
     I have had the desire to write some type of story for some time.  I have been so busy with school the last couple of months that I have not had any time to do anything intellectually that wasn't school work.
     My May class ended a couple of days ago, and know I have a month free from school to have some fun with my mind.  I have been thinking about ideas to write about, and I got my first inspiration from NPR.  There was an interview with a movie director, and his movie gave me an idea of something I could write down on paper with relative ease.
     To this point I have written about 1,300 words in my story.  I am not really sure where I want to end it at because I keep finding ways to continue the story along. 
     I forgot to mention that I am having surgery on my back next week.  Next Thursday I will go under the knife and have a bulging disc in my back repaired.  I figured my recovery time could be utilized writing some type of story.  Hopefully by the end of June I can have something to publish on the Kindle library, because in July I start another summer class. 
     I hope that I enjoy writing as much as I think I will.  I feel like I am a creative and talented sort, and I have been putting off showing my talents off with the rest of the world.  It has come to a point where I need to put up or shut up.
