That's the emotion i feel right now.
So, i actually found my flashdrive! And i even got up early and put chapter seven on to upload. The character bios to print and give to Sarah were on there and ready, too! Then, i went to scholastic practice, had a mostly pleasant time, then realized that i didn't have the flash drive.
It is sitting at home. Next to the chair. Just waiting for me to stop being stupid!
But don't worry. If i can't get that stuff ready today, I'll get it ready tomorrow. I will not give up!
Also, chapter eight is finished and just needs to be typed, and nine is on it's way. Lots of cool stuff about to happen, be sure to keep up to date!

-Yawn-
-Stretch-
Good morning! Or maybe not--it is a monday.
So i just wanted to let you know that i have pit band every single day after school for the next three weeks (except this thursday and friday, because of early dismisal and no school, respectively). So, while i may get a lot done in the notebook, don't expect to see much on the webs. My weeks are begining to look like: Show up at school at 7, classes from 8 to 3, crew from 3-6, pit band from 6-who knows when, every day. If i disappear from the world of the mortals, don't be too surprised.
In other news, i've gotten almost nothing done since the last time i blogged. My weekend was strictly sailing, and not the kind where you can sit and write with the inspiration of the wind and water. No. It was the kind of sailing where you tie everything down, sometimes including yourself, tie on the smallest sails you can find, and try to keep the boat upright. Though, we did make 6 knots with a reefed main and a storm jib, so that's something (fairly monumental).
Anyway, writing is on the back burner at the moment, behind the endless need in the drama department, my musical interests, heaps of second quarter schoolwork, and getting the boats ready for winter. But in about four weeks, when i have nothing to do and all the time i need to do it, i'll type up all the chapters i've written and keep everyone interested in whatever i want them interested in.
Have a not-too-monotonous monday!

Weather Eyes?
So, it just occurred to me that "keep a weather eye on the horizon" is a legit phrase right now because, not only should you keep up to date, but i just finished sailing today. Sadly, besides next Saturday with Amy and tomorrow if i doesn't rain, there'll be no more sailing. But, if i know me, and i think i do, the lack of sailing will make me write about it more, so it won't be out of my life, just out of my activities.
Anyway, there'll also be a lot of RC too, because it's about to get good and, unless i get stuck, i'll find it almost impossible to stop writing. And--drum roll please!--there'll also be character art soon thanks to a friend, Sarah! Yay for getting to see what you formally only imagined. So look out, cool stuff soon!
Peace! (Another fun virtue i'm following.)

Jumping On In
I hope you follow me on Fiction Press; that's the main reason for this blog. If so, you'll know i just posted chapter six in Red Colony, my favorite story about colonization of Mars. Sorry about the wait, I've kinda been sitting on that one for about 4 months. But, to make up for that failure, I started and finished chapter seven yesterday! And i also bit off a big chunk of chapter eight.
In the future, there will be a lot of info about how certain things in the story work. I'd really not write a boring explanation of things if it's only going to scare people away from my story. But if i put it here, people can read it if they want to (or don't believe it could be done), or they can avoid it altogether if they would really rather not know why it works, just trust that it does. So be on the lookout.
Also, in case you care, i've been writing a script for a short zombie movie with my friends as actors. It's pretty cool, if i say so myself, if not a little cliche. But it's my first time with script writing. Hopefully, i can finish up the script and get some shooting in this fall, before the weather gets wrong for it.
So, to summarize, read chapter six (Or start from the begining), watch out for chapter seven, look out for detailed descriptions of cool sci-fi tech, and watch for news on the writing or shooting of my movie. And always feel free to suggest something if you think it's relevent!
Have a humorous day! (It's a virtue.)
