Yesterday my mother and I went by a local gym, just to check it out. I walked out with my birthday present, a membership. Which, while a wise investment in my future, shoots down my plans for pooling my birthday money and putting it towards a laptop. Although, one of the other things that came up was the possibility of selling my car to put some money towards tuition. I'm hoping to shunt some of that money into the laptop fund. It's for school! If I had a laptop, I could be curled up on the bed typing away on my story, instead of doing it here at my desk and being distracted by the interwebs every two seconds. That is my rationale. Now if I could just concentrate on the story I'm supposed to be writing. The story itself is good. The fact that it's only supposed to be 750 words long is bad. I don't know if anyone's noticed, but I talk. A lot. Me plus a 750 word limit doesn't work. Can't I just write away to my heart's content and eat the rest of the tomato soup I made for dinner? Mmmm.... Anti-oxidants are yummy.
Now to finish cutting my story to shreds, to be followed by digging out gym stuff. Must resist napping.
