Sit Sit Sit Around

Well, I haven't posted a blog in here for awhile and since I got MsJacquii's PM and I do love blogging, journaling, whatever, that I'd make use of the blogging system. I'm kinda waiting to get a job so that will be good... and I've started to work out. Today I did 6 miles on the exercise bike, 8 laps around this track, and also went on an eliptical (sp?) and worked out on that for 10 min and did .75 of a mile. Needless to say I was dying by the end of it all... I hope I didn't push my body too hard but I really wanted to give myself a good workout.

Of course, I destroy all of this by eating not only a medium sized pizza but also chicken fingers at one of my favorite restaurants.

I just can't say no to food...

The whole idea is to get fit though so I didn't beat myself up for eating all that food after working my ass off.

Anywho, besides that and sitting around I've been writing like crazy. I entered the Dream Quest One Writing Contest that I discovered when I went through JPIC for the contests available. I entered two of my poems that I hoped fit into what they wanted... good imagery, ect, and "the ability to dream." So, hopefully my poems I picked out show that. I want to check out more writing contests and enter more, I keep on searching through where I can submit my work and I'm putting myself out there.

While I've been writing poetry like crazy I've tried to force myself into writing chapters for Novels that I've left to collect dust and I haven't written a short story for awhile. I just don't feel as confedient in my short story writing and I love my Novel but now I've been struck by another idea for one that I've been getting my main ideas/scenes for.

I'll try to write more in here but that is a short thing of what I've been going through. Now I'm going to try and complete my poems that I've started but they just need a middle and ending now. I'm going to see if I can make the poem count for today 4 poems, but I doubt it, I don't want to drain my creative juices.
