I am currently sitting in a McDonald's; using the free wifi signal. I just enjoyed a delicious fudge sundae with nuts. I don't have my own reliable internet signal at home right now so I figured I'd try out McDonald's. Truth be known... I kind of wanted to get out of the house as well. My novel writing seems to be lagging a bit lately but I've been trudging onward. I really should post a preview of it really soon. I just realized that I haven't let anyone read any of it yet.

 I took a week long break from writing my novel. It was starting to get on my nerves. But eventually the act of not writing began to irk me as well. So last night I plunged back into my novel. I'm beginning to notice how much the process of writing has become an integral part of who I am. Of course, most of what I write makes very little sense to me while I am writing it but then once it has been written it usually makes sense out of itself. Sounds a bit paradoxical but it is the truth.

  The main character of my novel could be classified as a protagonist. But in actuality he is more of an unfettered thinker.

 I've been incapacitated for the past week due to an irksome cold. But I am on my way to recovery now. I've written a handful of new poems and miscellaneous ideas but probably won't piece them together for another couple of days.
