Today

I must say that I didn't stay nearly as on top of my objectives today as I would have hoped, but I still was able to accomplish a fair amount. I read alot of Hardball (though I'm not entirely finished yet) and I made some phone calls about the OA meeting. The meeting was quite productive and we got many things decided and goals set to achieve in the near future. Today was also the first day that I was allowed to drive to Hernando and back by myself (and yes I took the Interstate back). All went fairly well.

I briefly sat down earlier and started doing some serious editing to my last story. It wasn't painful either. I actually enjoyed it and look forward to the next time I can make time for it. I think I know how I'm going to go about my rewrite. Instead of entirely scrapping what I already have and outlining it. I'm going to edit every page as critically as I can (research included) and then after that, rewrite with the corrections I wrote down. That is sounds much less painful than the alternative! (*shivers*)

I also made a critical decision towards this year's NaNoWriMo project. I decided on character names. They are all names I made up quite some time ago (almost two years) for my Flyff characters, but I find that helpful because I know that each name already has a personality and set of memories attached. I do not intend on making my novel like the game, but I would very much like to include some of the antics and fond memories that came from the times I've played with my friends. I think it'll going to be quite a spectacular adventure. We shall see I suppose.

So let me see...tomorrow I've got to make copies of things, call my section multiple times, read up on ACT, PRACTICE, and finish Hardball, while also finding a fair niche of time to plan my plot and hang out with some friends. So I shall, so I shall.
