Nothing to Novel

A daily journal of an aspiring novelist

I didn’t write anything today.

It was a rainy day here in Maine and the atmosphere was just not right for writing. I started off the day by watching Saving Private Ryan, but after the disc skipped, I decided maybe that wasn’t a good idea. I ran some errands, hung out for a while, then started watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. That is one of my favorite movies of all time. I like Ryan, as well, but wasn’t able to watch it due to the skipping. 2001: is awesome in itself, but is even better on Bluray. I have 2001: and Blade Runner on bluray, both of which I recommend buying if you have a player.

I guess I just needed a break away from writing for a day to take in other ideas and let things simmer for a bit. Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. My grandmother and aunt are coming and I haven’t seen them in eons. It’s going to be interesting. I’ll probably also play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare tomorrow, as well, if I have extra time. But, I really want to take a crack at working on the second chapter of my novel, or at least write something towards it.

Today’s blog is very short and uninformative, and perhaps I shouldn’t have written anything in it, but I promised that I would. I won’t promise I’ll write tomorrow, but I’ll definitely give it a fair shot.
