I AM SO DONE WITH MY WIFI

Is there any feeling better than a Friday afternoon with no obligations and pure, vast freedom on the horizon? One could argue about the thrills of a wedding or the sight of a newborn child but I advocate Friday appreciation.

The title and opening paragraph of this post are unintentionally juxtaposing each other. The title relates to the fact that my bloody WiFi at home refuses to upload my blog posts half the time. So today you will be receiving two posts but one of them is a week old. This is not entirely true because my WiFi cut out yet again last night and I couldn't load blogger. By now, my opening paragraph is irrelevant because it's Saturday evening. Sorry about that.

Moving on, this week I've accomplished two chapters (yay, one more than last week). I have 2 chapters and the epilogue left to finish and then I am done. I think I'm going to go back and change things in act 1 later but I'll get to that eventually.

So lately I've decided to force myself into exercising which is a) an excellent excuse to procrastinate homework and b) the perfect opportunity to read. I'm still on that Stephen King memoir and he says interesting things about writing. He recommends not plotting, which I thought was totally weird. It makes sense for him because he's a suspense writer and the less he knows, the less the reader knows, which ups the suspense.

Personally, I feel it's important to know what you're doing with your story because otherwise it could go in weird directions and there could be lulls and I find it too risky to simply wing it. But if you disagree, that's totally up to you. Enjoy your obscure plot twists; maybe they'll work for you. 

Well that was nice and random. The novel is up to 172 pages and at least an additional 1000 words. Yay. Success. I'll be done soon and maybe I'll publish it or something crazy. Who knows?

Thanks for reading.
