Motivation

I feel like I've become more motivated to move in a better direction lately. First, I cut out a few things that were taking up too much of my time (the Haunted House at work, LOMA tests at work, didn't take on any new volunteer projects at work and otherwise, I'm just assigning and editing Happy Tails for Pet Haven, instead of writing new ones, etc.).

Then I applied for a different position at work that sounded more interesting, I am making an effort to go to church on a more consistant basis, I am completing more prayer requests on ourprayer.com, plus I also found that list of 100 greatest novels of all time and bought two of them to get started (about nine or so I already had read through school), and am seriously thinking about writing a book of some kind.

I don't know what book yet, but I think inspiration will hit me sooner or late, like an irresistible mac truck. How am I going to know what great literature looks like if I haven't read very much of it? Not that I'm pompous enough to think that I'm going to write the next great American novel (ha!), but I at least want to have some greats to help said mac truck.

Mac truck, mac 'n' cheese...time to make dinner.
