The next thing we have to decide is what pen name we want to use. I want something really cool but not too cheesy. We are currently taking suggestions and will make a decision later.

Writing: Day Four
Today is the fourth day of writing. I didn't much actual writing done, but I did get some sort of outline completed (and a set up up for a sequel). I printed out what I had so far and let Paige start to read it. She read a little and then asked me what the hell was going on. I summarized what I had so far, and we came up with a rough outline. It seems like a decent story line, but we will have to see how much effort we can both put into the work. I really want Paige to help with this because I want her to get back to being creative again.

Lastly we added a new family member yesterday. She is black and white and a kitten. Her name is Molly. We figured we would just name everything in our life after Beatles' songs. Here's a picture of her.

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.
