Back in the saddle ...

     It has been nearly a week since I have made an entry to this journal. I have to be the worst. My life is so busy being lived that I forget to document it. This is why I am so lazy with social media.

     So what thoughts have been rattling around in my mind?  This is the week I have to submit something for my creative writing class. The urge is to submit something original. However, if I can give them anything I wrote then I will give them a journal entry, as they are so unique and rare. The good thing that in my floundering and mental stress over the subject, I may have resolved some story issues as to what to do with certain characters and beginning a new story. Why not? I have not finished anything else. There is also the issue of the new poetry challenge. What to write about there. Later maybe. I do have one thing that has been bouncing around my head, the phrase "When Asked". It comes upas a catalyst for the response to the shootings in Parkland FL. It always starts

When asked. 

Will you continue to take money from people that defend the right for this type of weapon to be sold?

The answer was "Of course, I don't take money to promote someone else's message, donors buy into my agenda."

     It would most likely go on and on and I will probably submit it for my final group of work but unlike a lot of my work, it is not coming as freely as I want it to. Not sure what to do about that. I also want to work on a sci-fi story and a fantasy story. I have not thought about dominion in such a long time. I have an outline and I have some Idea of what I want the goals of the story. I think it is going to be the Originals questing up to, and defeating Queen Galacestrel Elysium. That would make a very good Fantasy story. The sci-fi story would be the incursion of the Vlathacna  during the fall of the Terran empire. Not bad ideas.  Just need the good characters. I am also going to try Techknight's origin. Though that may be as boring as shit.

    Well the good thing about this class is that it makes me write more often than not but have to keep up. Time to put on the adult pants and be serious about this. No procrastinating. Yeah that will teach me.
