TOMG!

I'm supposed to be writing a book. I made a goal to write the end 50,000 by the end of the month. I'm only at four thousand. I should be writing right now while the sick baby is asleep but instead I'm watching the OC. Why? Well, because I'm blocked. But mostly because I'm lazy. I could be creating a masterpiece but instead I find myself lost in a sea of teen angst.

I grew up watching soap operas. Sometimes I would stay home from school just to watch them all day with my mom. Strangely enough those are some of my favorite memories. Soap operas are like Sci-Fi's to me. They're totally normal one moment and the next there's some crazy monster coming out of no where to devour everyone! "Johnson Peppi Fabrae! I, Melissa Pumpernickle, am sorry but I cannot be your lover. Because, you see, I am actually your twin sister seperated at birth raised by your uncle Joey to be a psociopath!" It's just awesome. I miss it.

I sit here watching until a commercial when I turned to Snapped! Suddenly my world is turned completely upside down. If you've ever seen that show: well, it's scary. Women doing things that you know they're capable of and that you've maybe always thought about doing. It's frightening. And thats when I turned to look at my little daughter with a smile. I've got to do this for her. I've got to write. So, i'll let this be my inspiration.

Pursuit of Happiness #7: Force yourself day by day to reach your dreams even if you're feeling lazy.
