My ten page story for my fiction class is due on Tuesday! Don’t worry, I have started it. I have about three pages done, and plan on working on it for a few hours tonight.

The reason I haven’t gotten more done it because it took so long to decide on a topic. I tried writing different things, but everything felt too bland and cliche. I felt that I should write about something that I know, or can atleast relate to. This is hard to do without writing about myself, or a situation that I’ve been in, which is not what I am going for at all.

I decided that my main character would be a male, which is a great way of detatching my own personal experiences from the character. However, I put him in a town that is much like the one I grew up in. The man is in is later twenties, and is unhappy with the path that he went down after highschool. He’s married with three children, which he having a hard time supporting. He does not love his wife, nor has he ever really, and in the story he makes realizations about himself, and eventually his own selfishness.

I still have a lot more work to put into it, so the plot may change some, but the characters and themes are pretty much set.

Wish me luck..

Happy Easter fellow bloggers. Hope everyone had a nice holiday, whether they spent it at church or watching sports. I actually made it to church today, the first time in a couple months. Then I ate an Easter meal with Matt and his family. Matt’s family is very traditional, and it’s really cute. We had ham and all the fixings, easter candy, and played scrabble.

It was a very busy weekend for me. Matt’s family came up from Worthington, so we visited with them. It was Matt and I’s two year anniversary this weekend, and I had to work two shifts. I didn’t find much time for homework, so I am hoping to catch up tonight and tommorow. Luckily I don’t work tommorow, so I have more time to accomplish things.
