12 hours.

Lesson of the day: after 12 hours of non-stop doing all you want to do is, well, do.

I woke up this morning at 7:15. I got ready for school and then hopped on the bus at 8:25 am. I had class from 9-11, worked from 11-2, class from 2-4 and worked from 4-8:15ish. I did not get back to my house until a little after 8:30 pm. I had been gone for a little over 12 hours. I thought I would want to brush my teeth and get right into bed.

Instead, I read a few pages from a short story for Tuesday and started on my study guide for Methods of Literary Study. I had an excellent idea for a story so I dropped the study guide and opened Microsoft Word and typed away for about 45 minutes. I have a great beginning to a story. It will make an excellent first draft for my 10 page short story.

Also, I am not as tired as I thought I would be. I will be going to bed by midnight though because I am ill. Nothing major, just need to keep it under control. This weekend is devoted to napping and taking it easy, except for the 7 hours I work on Saturday.

So, tomorrow I am going to post a little of the story that I have been working on tonight. I am committing to Fiction Fridays. They keep me motivated to write a little bit of fiction during the week. Hopefully I'll get more readers and then in turn get comments on my fiction.

peace.
