The Ironies of Life

I've been spending so much time on my other blog, I've been neglecting this one. Shame on me. I guess the other one is accomplishing mostly what I originally wanted a blog for (I just didn't know it at the time). Still, this one stays for less "heated" topics, and daily-life-updates. Like writing.

Speaking of writing, I've been trying my best, despite a terrible migraine and a broken finger. The latter is mending slowly; the former...not so much. Still, I'm trying the "positive thinking" approach about tomorrow, and am pretending like I really will go to work. Maybe it'll work. 'Cept I'm loathe to go to work, secretly, which isn't helping the whole "positive" outlook. Ah well. Worth trying, I suppose, if only for the paycheck. (Did anyone else notice the redundancy of "work" in this paragraph? I need to work on those. ;D)

In the writing world, I can't seem to finish writing (there I go again) this dratted synopsis for my novel, which makes submitting it seem a world away. I hate synopses. They stifle creative flow and ruin a good story. Condensing the plot of a three-hundred-plus page novel into three or so pages is near like unto murder. I can't represent a complex plot well in three measly pages! Better to ask me to change the weather.

But I'll do it, because publishing a novel is still my dream, and dreams are worth striving for.

P.S. And on a completely different track, you might have noticed my user name is now "Hikari". Might want to note that, as it's staying, since I respond to that as readily as Melissa or Mel, and I like it so very much. Not that it's highly necessary to tell you so, but I thought I'd share anyway.
