| That's the part I'm worried about, too. Hopefully I can keep up being a few words ahead of the curve for when I hit the inevitable block partially through the month.
I could be worse, but I could also be better. That's me trying to avoid negativity, lol.
Oh man, I want some sour gummy worms now. It's been awhile so I think I'm due for some.

| Well, when you get stuck, take a break or something. x3 No use trying to force yourself... just make sure you get back to it after your break.
^^ That's a good outlook. Certainly better than mine.
Except for the fact that I know my artistic abilities aren't that great. xP I'm not that inclined towards art, unfortunately.

| Yup, that's the key. I have the plot more-or-less mapped out (or should I say more like less, haha) so I can have a mini goal each day. I hit mine early today so I get to relax a bit and mull over future plot-points.
It's funny how the "make sure you get back to it" works for most things in life -- it's usually so much easier to keep doing something everyday rather than re-starting it all of the time. I think that's why I do so much better with deadlines, as stressful as they are... self-made art deadlines never seem to work, as often as I try.
Yum, thanks! :D

| No nomming on the novel! I have it saved in two different places just in case. Paranoid Ky is paranoid O_O
Yeah, hooray for having no self-discipline! Wait. But yeah, that does seem to be the crux of the matter.

| Don't forget to save a copy online somewhere, too. x3
xP That, and general procrastination.
o-o I've never been a big fan of caramel corn.

| Yep, there's a on-going copy in my Google docs, just in case. I don't trust my computer in the slightest, nor my luck.
Well yeah, that too! I do my writing chunk at the beginning of each hour, which only takes 20 or so minutes. The rest of it I get to goof off as much as I like, then it's back to writing at the next hour. So far, so good. I just have to figure out how to trick my brain, that's all.
Hrm. *pulls out a second bowl filled with assorted fun-size chocolate bars and a smaller dish with Starbursts*

| I've never used Google docs before. o-o How does it work?
That certainly sounds like a nice system. ^^ Not too much of a workload, but you still get stuff done.
x.x It'd be slightly harder in the weekdays, though, especially since you said you have work.
Where do you work, anyways? o-o
Yay. ^^ Thankies.

| I just started using it last night, so I'm a little fuzzy on details... it's tied to my Gmail account so it has a copy of documents sent to/from there, but it seems like a mini word processor complete with editing and a few tools. There's the option to share or not and you can organize things into folders. All in all, not a bad thing to have.
I work at a Starbucks and usually only have 5 or so hour shifts. All in all, not bad. I keep a small notebook with me at all times so I can jot stuff down if it's particularly slow, which it has been lately.
Yup! *munches on some Starburst*

| I should probably consider getting a gmail account. x.X Sounds like it's steadily growing more and more useful.
^^ Yay for Starbucks. :: Noms on a caramel apple cider. :: Well, I guess that's alright, then. It's not too intensive, so you're less stressed when you finally start working on your writing.

| Gmail's awesome... I'm such a pack rat when it comes to well, everything, but I can keep like 8 million emails just in case.
I <3 the caramel apple cider! Not too many people know about that one for some reason, so I try to sample it out whenever I can. And yeah, not usually a stressful job so that's a plus.

| I'll likely make an account when I'm less lazy. x3
Same here, obviously. x3 I don't usually drink coffee, so I go to Starbucks for that alone.
:: Pokes :: ^^

| Sorry, had to watch the end of a hockey game ^^;
Heh, I don't usually drink coffee either. Luckily that wasn't a requirement for the job :P I honestly hadn't even been to a Starbucks more than 2 or 3 times before the hired me, either.

| =o There's a hockey game on?
I'm not too big of a fan, but my grandpa likes the sport. x3
At any rate, welcome back. ^^
How long have you been working at Starbucks? ^^

| Yeah, it was the Capitals vs the Blue Jackets. We (the Caps) lost, unfortunately D: I was always a bit of a fan, but over these last couple of years I've really gotten into it.
Hehe, thanks :3
And since... May? So not too long, but I like it.
Do you work anywhere?
