i had today off! and i have thursday off too! WOW!
everything's comin' up milhouse!

and now:

So, I've been working on these books for about... jesus... ten years?
(my god ten effin' years? holy shit)
And i haven't finished a god damn one. I have completed versions of the 4th book, which was originaly the first book, and originally two books, and one version of the fifth book, which was originaly the second book, which was originally the third book.
I have a short story that I wrote for creative writing that made me decide to do "prequils" to my books, because they just had too much effin' explaining, but it's not the same story as the book will be.
I have another short story that I ripped off form my own characters and plot lines that won me $500 buckaroos.
I've spent the past few months mulling over characters and defining them and giving them histories and personalities and their own stories.
And i've come up with five billion different plot twists. I should be writing "choose your own adventure" books.
plus now the whole feel of the book is being overhauled. it's gone from nerdy old sci-fi, to fantasy, to just plain ridiculously... weird. like the bible meets grimm's fairy tales meets the dead sea scrolls meets... star wars.
the point of this rant is that these books mean everything to me, and if i do not complete them in my life i will be extremely unsatisfied and pissed when i die.
the point also is that I've had writer's block for the past month or two. yeah. not fun. and i'm getting a little worried, cause I planned on making a living by being a writer (impractical I know). but Na(tional)No(vel)Wri(ting)Mo(nth) is coming up and I was going to do something completely separate from my books, you know, to test my ability. and I can't think of a damn thing! any suggestions of smashing a writer's block? they'd be greatly appreciated.
