Reality

What is reality?  And how does this compare to fantasy?
An essay I wrote on the subject:

It's a little old (well, a week old) but it certainly counts.

I wrote a little bit more of my novel.  I'm now have over 51,000 words written!  51,368 to be precise.  I'm making it through, but now I have to take a break from that and finish writing the Methods section for my fake research project (I'm "investigating" depression rates among divorcees of various ages).

Now to share some of my doodles.  I admit that these come from my journal.  I do not have a normal journal.  At least it doesn't look normal.  As you will see from these following pictures:

 Here you can see some character sketches, as well as what I had written about me posting a blog.  Now I officially have more about me writing about my blog, on my blog!  You can also see how I write along the edges of the pages - this is typically reserved for my more random thoughts as well as quotes and song lyrics.

This is the spiral of doom!  Or rather me writing a rough draft of my novel before I type it (but I purposely made this harder to read).  I don't necessarily have a system for writing my manuscript.  Sometimes I hand-write it, sometimes I hand-write in strange formats like this page demonstrates, and sometimes I type straight into my computer.  But I have several pages like this in my journal.  My journal obviously does not detail just my life, but the lives of fictional characters as well.

 

Now this is the design for a room in that said novel.  The squiggles in the background represent the ocean, if you couldn't guess. It's enough for me to have a visual of the location as I write about it.  The process helps cement the details into my mind.

That's certainly enough of my journal for now.  I hope everyone else is doing well!
