http://spinworkstudios.com/blog Speculation on speculation Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:09:33 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en As unheard of of two blogs in a week may be in recent years, yesterdays achievement is owed one. After a lot of bitching, moaning, throwing things, and all the other crap I usually do that I'll spare you when I have issues writing, I finally finished the first swath of ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=214 School's back in session again, thus returning me to the eternal struggle of finding the time to sit down and write. A lot's been going on in both areas--what, with finding an apartment for the summer, finally getting passed some major Cloudnigh blocks that were making me about ready to ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=211 My God. Holidays at Starbucks were made to murder both customers and baristas. The last five days has consisted of some of the most maddening hours I've ever spent at this job. Rushes have started lasting all day, from 8AM to 5PM, with intermittent swells before and after. I've even ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=207 It's about 10:30 in the morning and it feels like its about midnight. Chalk it up to my World Issues professor deciding it would be a good idea to watch Wall-E at 8:00 in the morning instead of a final. Not that I'm complaining--Wall-E's one of my all-time favorite movies, ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=199 Finals' time is here again, meaning fire season and impending doom. Things are actually looking pretty light this year, even though this semester holds the record as my worst academic performance pretty much ever. Senioritus is a flaming bitch. I'm actually convinced it hasn't left me since high school, since ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=197 The other day, I had an in-between day, a rarity when I'm up at college. In order not to be bored out of my skull, I did something I haven't done in a while: I curled up and read. Reading regularly is one of the things I lost in high school. ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=195 The last few months have been some of the weirdest ever for my writing. It's been about two years since I haven't had a real "project" to work on, and the lull has felt kinda... I don't know, empty. Much of October was spent mulling over what I learned during the ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=192 I'd been wondering who I'd have to sleep with to get some time to myself lately to sit down and blog about the happenings of the last couple weeks. Honestly, though, if sleeping with people was what it took to get some peace of mind from all the crap going ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=190 Once more, my desire to update this monthly is about as reliable as my hopelessly ditzy, alcoholic muse. Half the bloody time, I want to reach into my screen, take this blog and just throw it somewhere. Off a cliff. Anywhere but its current location. We all know how I ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=188 The temptation of understanding the creative process for me is similar to the medieval idea of immortality through alchemy. There are times where it drives me absolutely nuts not being able to have full control over things like my style, or how my ideas and the sentences that flow in ... http://spinworkstudios.com/blog/?p=186
