And so my summer break begins... (update)

    Now is the time that I have yearned for so long, the summer when my eyes would be open. The green of the fresh leaves radiates and dominates the world around me. And yet, I feel as if even with the blessing of such a colorful world, I am cursed still. Since I am currently unemployed, the summer provides me with most of my free time, yet I hardly write at all. This is my curse.

     The days pass so slowly, and still so quickly. I know that in what feels like years, yet seconds, it will be over, and I shall return to a more progressive or productive lifestyle. I believe I have written about my "writer's block" before. I suppose now I am making a plead to myself to get back to writing, but the only thing that seems to want to be written is "The Beginning of the End" and I dare say it would be strange to spend the days of color lost within the colorless future. I believe I have written about sixty thousand words of that novel so far, and the journey feels the end nearing. Marie-Lynn, I am still looking for you. But I know that with Camp NaNoWriMo coming up in June, that story will have to take a short break. Currently, I intend on writing "Kuna Zero: A Wanderer's Tale" during June. It is the prequel to "The Beginning of the End." We will see how that will turn out, but for now, I return to my little talk. 

     Once I was told that I did not write enough to experience "writer's block." Perhaps this is what caused my respect for that person to drop dramatically. From what I have heard, they have written one, maybe two novels. They are inexperienced. Their age does not aid them either. Last I checked, they were about fifteen. They do not seem to understand that "writer's block" affects anyone who writes any amount. What it is, in essence, is an inability to write that is experienced by writers. Writers are defined as people who write, clearly. Therefore, if one writes and experiences an inability to write all of a sudden, they are suffering from "writer's block." I was told that I did not write enough to experience "writer's block" quite a while ago, actually. I am not really sure why it resurfaced. Perhaps I feel the need to express myself when people say such things. Anyways, I do believe that I should really get some rest. Another day awaits me, and surely something must change tomorrow. I will make it change. Goodnight, good day, and farewell!
