On pretty much nothing. Again.

I'm feeling kind of bloggy today. Like, I really want to blog about things, even though there really isn't anything to blog about besides the weather. Which is cold. And will get snowy later.

And my coffee got kinda cold because I forgot about it. Damn it.

I got another story idea last night...or the night before...or something. But I haven't even finished the one I was working on. I hate that. I'm pretty good at switching gears between stories, but it's still annoying, because this one requires some world-building, which I don't particularly enjoy. But at the same time, I do.

I didn't get a lot of sleep last night if anyone is wondering.

And I still have some stories that need to be finished that I started a few years ago. Actually one of the ones I've been working on is from...5 years ago? Or so. Then I have the couple I had started back when I was in high school taking Creative Writing. I miss Creative Writing...I still need to finish my English Comp essay. I meant to do that and then didn't. I'll do that sometime today or this evening...

But I have probably half a dozen composition notebooks lying around that have half finished stories in them. I need to get more composition notebooks...not that I'm in any great need for them at the moment, but I really, really like them. And I want more. Composition notebooks are my favorite kind. I used to like the spiral notebooks - the thick 3 subject ones that you would get for school - but then I had grabbed a composition notebook one day because I wanted something that wasn't so big and wouldn't get caught on everything. And lose pages so easily. Now I have a few mostly empty spirals I'm going to use for class. Otherwise, they won't get used, because I don't like them anymore. Composition notebooks are much better.

They're just so wonderful, and they fit perfectly in my purse. Well, one or two at a time will, so long as my billfold and DS are the only other things in there. But it makes it so easy to carry one wherever I go. I love it. I just wish it was easier to find the ones that are college ruled. I hate wide ruled paper. You can't fit as much on a page, and I write small - even when I'm writing fast and my handwriting gets messy - so the pages doesn't look as full as they should. And then you end up going through more paper, because you need more pages to say what you're trying to say, than if you used college ruled.

I want to go to a stationery store now and get more notebooks. But I can't because I have to be here if work comes over and we're supposed to get some nasty weather. I might go this weekend. If I can find a store nearby that carries them. I'd just order them online, but I have to make sure I like the paper. I need to find some good pens, too...
