Update

I basically took a month off of writing, which isn't exactly what I wanted but what with the snowstorms New England's been getting hit with and work for Graduate school growing increasingly hard, it's been difficult to get back on track. 

As of today, I'm back to waking up at 5am to write on the weekdays. I'm getting back on the horse. Giving it another go, giving it the old college try, etc. I'm not sure if I can promise weekly blog posts but I think I can continue with a piece of flash fiction per month at least. 

So what have I been doing for the past month? Shoveling snow. Working and not working. Brewing beer. Currently in the third month of the "Year of the Brew", in which a friend of mine and I attempt to brew a batch of beer every month. "Janbrew-ary" and "Febrew-ary" were a success. Now onto "March-Mash". Mash is something to do with brewing...It was the best I could come up with, alright? 

I have read the third chapter of 'The Wonderbook', which is about Beginnings and Endings. It's a great chapter, though I'm having difficulty getting the motivation to complete the exercises. Maybe because they involve writing endings to things and that's never been one of my strong suits. I need to get back to the grindstone, because I've placed a rule on myself that I can't move onto a new chapter without completing the exercises of the previous one, and I really want to keep reading this wonderful book. I'm also reading the 2nd book of the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson and it continues to be great. 

I wrote 1000 words on Sunday and it felt good. I need to do that more. So, I'm going to go write some more.
