Powering Through

So my brother brought a good point to my mind the other day when i was mopeing about not being able to move forward with my book. He reminded me that I work best under pressure with deadlines and goals.
So here's the plan!! I am giving my self some goals and some deadlines!
My GOAL is to complete at least one chapter (without revisions or corrections) every two weeks.
My DEADLINE is having one chapter (with out revisions) completed every THREE weeks.
Now the difference between the two is my Goals are when I'd preferto finish a chapter, my Deadlines are when i need to.
This is when self discipline comes in. When I miss a goal, nothing happens. When i miss a deadline I punish myself in some form. We're talking sit ups, push ups, running... maybe even forcing myself to sit through the spongebob movie....

Yikes!

Mojo is a No-Go

I seem to have lost a bit of my drive and mojo for my book. Mostly due to my ability to be easily distracted and the fact that I need music to fuel my writing and I have heard every song on my Ipod a billion times.
Solution?
Im going to power through it. Im just gonna write, even if I dont like what Im writing, and then I can always go back and change it.

In different news, tying into my distractions, ideas for two new books have sprung into my head.
One of them will be native american legend based and it will be as acuratly tied to the Cherokee tribe I am desendant from as I can get it.
The second book will be out of usual genre for my imaginations. No myths, no magic. Shocking I know, but it will be about something I am incredibly pasionate about. Dancing. There is a particular dancer-who-shall-remain-nameless who's amazing choreography and goof-ball personality that was the main inpiration for this book. It will revolve intirely around music's part in song and dance and life all around.

However I am aware that before I jump into a new project I need to finish the first one, and so I bid you adue as I run of to rejoin my imagination with Damon and Andie.

Kat and Roxie's Excellent (telephone) Adventures!

So Roxann and i have discovered that when we talk to each other crazy things happend. Such things as: The Happy Dance, Book ideas flowing with extraodinary speed, plots to seduce a celebrity who shall remain nameless, and even more book ideas.
(disclaimer: do not try the happy dance unless you are prepaired to hurt yourself.)
I now have almost everything I need to know exactly how to write my book up with perfect flow.
And!!! I have written a pivotol scene for book one that will soon be plugged right into chapter 7 or 8, depending on how those chapters go.
And now! im off to write.

Dentists

I have come to the conclusion that dentists are sadistic people who revel in causing physical pain to others.
Translation for my rant? I had a dentist appointment today and my mouth feels ouchy!! =/
However New Moon (movie style) comes out in 17 days and that makes me a happy monkey! In just 17 days time I get to see the glory that is the Wolf Pack Abs on the big screen. *swoon*

On a side note, I took some time off my book to catch up on school. Now that I have my head above water on the school front i can get back to Andie and Damon. Im sure they feel neglected.
And! before you call me crazy for regarding my charachters as real people, I will have you know they are real in my head and insanity is the true mark of an author.
MWAHAHAHA *evil author laugh*

Moving on...
Im off to write some serious chapterage =]
