Our old monitor blew out and we purchased a new one today( 99 dollars from Staples!). I'm cracking up because I had a suspicion that something was wrong with our computer when websites and other various things showed up in colors on the computer at my mother's job that I did not see when I pulled them up at home. At first I assumed it was the computer, that it needed a color boost, but low and behold, it was the monitor! Everything is so much brighter and more vivid. Heck, I had no clue that Lydia Joyce's upcoming release had a reddish cover after all these months of seeing it online or that perezhilton.com was red, not blue. LOL
So I was MIA from the internet for about three days and even though it felt a bit weird, I found myself more productive and more confident in what I had to do. You don't really realize how distracting and unproactive the internet makes you until you don't have access to it. I had no resource to reading blogs or seeing what other people were doing or what they were writing or anything else that takes away from writing and seeing clearly. So I'm kind of like "whatever" when it comes to the internet now--it's here, but I don't feel this overwhelming need to be on it.
Writing news, I've been working on this plot for nearly a week, just jotting down scenes and bits of dialogue and plotting twists whenever they hit me and it's grown so much, morphing and twisting into a more cohesive plot and characters. It's a bit uncomfortable for me, but in a good way because it's pushing me from my comfort zone in terms of what I've been accustomed to writing.
Also....I've got a domain and hosting space, with a design soon to follow! I don't want to entirely unveil it until it's completed, but I'm excited. It feels like a big step in becoming published, in letting it be known that I am serious about writing with the intent of publication and about writing what I'm meant to be writing.
i can be. anything.
