I follow this chick's blog and I seriously LOVE it! I was like, I wanna be more like her- after all, the best writers learn by gleaning tactics from other writers. This girl isn't a writer (I don't think) but she probably could write some pretty hilarious books, like about dating or something. Problem is, I'm not single, so I don't have hilarious stories like I used to have. I am married, though, and my husband is insanely obnoxious. So I'm sitting here wondering about this hubby of mine, and our lives are pretty freakin' busy right now. I mean we work between 65-80 hrs per week, and we live 45 minutes away from work, and we're selling our businesses and goodness we just have so much going on! When do I have time for funny stories? I don't even work at Sub Zero (our ice cream store) hardly any more, so I don't have ridiculous, ranting stories to tell either. hmmm, what to write. I realize now why my husband automatically tunes me out after my stories last for longer than 3.5 seconds.
See, I used to think he just had add or something, and couldn't pay attention to me, but now I realize it's probably my stories. When I was a teenager, my very sweet older brother told me that, if I could find a guy who would listen to my stories, I should just marry him. bahaha instead I found a guy whose eyes glaze over after 3.5 seconds, but doesn't tell me to shut up, so it's okay. I only complain every now and then. What could I say that's interesting anyway?
I do have to say, though, that he is extremely helpful with my writing. He used to just piss me off, because he wouldn't read my books, but now I just read him a line of poetry I'm working on and he compliments the crap out of it until I'm satisfied and go back to my writing. Plus, I told him I wanted to write a romance novel, but I needed a plot. I told him he had 5 seconds to make up a plot for me (this was one of those extremely demanding days of mine- they happen about twice a week, if he's lucky). BAM! He delivered! Granted, it's really easy to come up with a romance novel plot- but COME ON! he's a boy! but he did it. I said the word cowboys, he instantly thought of indians and fighting, I told him to scrap the indians part, schazam! he gave me a plot. Now I'm voraciously writing about a cowboy wooing a young girl. It's brilliant! Maybe I'll start posting the chapters on here... hmmm, intriguing.
Now I'm sick of blogging and I'm gonna go work on my book. Be good, I'll think of an AMAZING story for next time!
