Writing When you Don't Feel Like It

Yep, I am not feeling much like writing today. I was completely brain dead yesterday and was doing a million things. I packed, then had a friend over and went shopping with her and helped her pick out a printer and some stuff for it. Then we went out to the movies and I had to be up early today for Voc Rehab. Voc Rehab decided I need more testing before they will let me go to school, so I am likely not going to be able to go to the first term in September.

In a way this is good, because I do not have to worry about moving and starting school at the same time. On the other hand, I am upset that I got kind of screwed over because the counselor did not do the testing that he should have done in the first place. I guess I will just deal with things as they come, it is all I can do right now.

Things for the move are still coming along well. I have things settled for the movers, and I am borrowing money from my friend for the extra that I need for the security deposit. I almost had that screwed up for me also because I did not get information from the housing people on time to get the loan from Pastoral Services. Thankfully, my friend happened to have money I could borrow.

Okay, different writing exercise today, I got this one Forward Motion Writer's Community. Forward Motion is a site that is set up for writer's wherever they are on their path in writing, but it is for those who have the ambition of getting published, and gives information for writer's and how to present their writing as well as lots or various exercises.

The exercise I am doing is around a character I have already created and used in other stories I have written. I would like him to be in a novel, I have a few chapters done, but no where close to enough...

The Morning After

Fury's eye cracked open and then closed again with a groan. Pain lanced through his head. What Mack truck hit me? he thought to himself not wanting to move. His mind was crawling trying to focus back on what had happened the night before. The light coming in through the window was much too bright for him to think clearly. His foggy mind stalled a moment, Light through the window? "Sonuva... Where the hell am I?"

He felt movement near him and turned quickly, his eyes opening wide, regretting both the movement and opening his eyes immediately. A pair of blue eyes opened from a handsome face. "Morning, Fur," Flex said his eyes failing to focus as usual, "You had a bad night, but we took cover here. Tawny has the perimeter, it's safe. You should rest some more, sounds like you could use it."

With those words, Flex put his head back down on the pillow, his blond hair looking tussled with sleep. Fury slowly turned back over, pain slowly receding from his head. He wished the cobwebs would do the same, He put his head back down and relaxed slowly. Flex's arm settled over his ribs, and thoughts of sleep vanished from his mind. He couldn't move or ask, he did not want to ruin the easy peace Flex, but what had happened? What did he not remember?
