On the Way to Texas

I've been sitting in the car for about... Close to 7 hours now actually, with my dad driving on the way down to Texas. It's just three of us this time, instead of the usual four. My poor brother has finals to study for, so he couldn't come. I don't mind sitting in the car for long periods of time actually. I've gotten used to it I guess from 12-hour days of traveling I've done before. My family is also nice to spend time with so that helps.
While I've been not blogging, writer's block has come and gone. Yesterday I hit the low point of me not having any interest in any writing whatsoever. Today my mind apparently decided it was done and let me write 2k again. I think that puts my total so far to about... 13k of 50k? Somewhere around there.
I went back to my original plan for this month: finish up a story that's been waiting far to long. I've left alone my new effort for now, although I think maybe I just need to push it until I get it to do something that's all it's own. We shall see.

I Have Done Nothing Today

And yet I feel so productive. By the general populace's standards though, I haven't really accomplished anything. I got up at about.. 5:15, started writing at about 5:30, got to 2k the fastest I have in a long time (finished about... 7? 6:45? Really fast for me), and made an origami something (a modular something of twelve pieces to be exact), and ate breakfast, all by nine o'clock. And yet I haven't really done anything to earn money or really move my general education forward.

And you know what? I don't really care. Because I have virtually all day to do school and other less important things like school and exercising and such. This morning, I wrote and played with little pieces of paper. And I am satisfied with that.
