Caffeine Addict’s Log: Entry ukf7003axx:

OMG! I’m out of non-decaf coffee! How can this happen?! Someone call the FBI, the CIA, the Mafia! This is a catastrophe!

So I was sipping some iced coffee today. It tasted rather different. Didn’t have that kick that it normally has. I thought I had gimped on the sugar, but I put the same amount of sugar like normal. I thought it was too much ice, but…that’s kinda impossible. Something wasn’t right. I had to investigate.

While in my kitchen, I looked at the coffee brand that I was using. It was decaf. “WTF?!!!” I thought to myself. Some bastard switched my coffee around! I had to search for something that didn’t have the dreaded D word in it. But it didn’t work. OMG, I should totally look at the label before I drink…now I’m sticking to soda. You can’t go wrong with that, right?

Right?!!

I’m never gonna buy auto accessories from a discount store again.

I got a car a while back. It was a fixer-upper, but it was still something. I wrote down a list of what I wanted and what I needed for it, and went on my way to an auto shop that sold discounted parts. These things were marked down a lot; I mean to the point where it was just too good to be true. But I bought them anyway. They looked fine to me.

That is, until it came time to install them.

The radio wouldn’t work; only got one station.
The tires were flat; and apparently had a small hole, because I couldn’t pump any air in them.
The engine practically exploded on me; I had to run for the hills while my car got engulfed in flames.

Furious, I took the bus back to the auto shop and I was greeted with not a nice salesperson but a sign.

“Out of business”.

…Okay, maybe not. I’m going through the worst case of writer’s block ever. There would be times where I can throw in something about Fastin in a short story and actually buy it. Now I can’t even do that. Sometimes it’s just best to let go, and let it flow. However, this is annoying the holy shit out of me. So what do you do to combat writer’s block?

So, I was supposed to do this entry sometime last week. But I wasn’t entirely sure how to word it. I’m having a hard time wording a lot of things, whether it be about the lack of kids that came to my door for Halloween, or my failed attempt on finding acne treatment.

But anyway, today would be the start of NaNo. As you may (or may not if you haven’t been frequenting here) know, I started Mirrored Worlds last year. I got to about 13k words before I went through the Second-Week Slump. Sadly, since last year, I haven’t done much to it, which makes me sad, since I actually enjoyed writing it, and I had great ideas for it.

So this year, I was a bit apprehensive about doing it. I mean, would I be able to actually fork over 50,000 words in a month? Or would it become the same like all my other projects that have been put on the backburner? I had a good idea for this year too; another fantasy theme, surrounded by the idea of a fallen harpy or sommat. Since then the idea’s gotten foggy.

So instead of working on another project that would go on the backburner never to be found again, I thought about digging up Mirrored Worlds and at least try to write something to it every day this month. Even if it’s for like 10 minutes a day (yay, short attention spans!), something is better than nothing, right?

I’ll let you know in about a week.

Hoi Thar.

Crestfallen is the 3-year-old site of a sarcastic 20-something natural-born New Yorker who goes by the name Nat Marie most days, but answers to many other things, including Shadow, Chickenhead, and "Hey Bitch!". She has a love for writing, performing arts, and cats (albeit allergic to them). You will find love, life, and a lot of writing and sarcasm sprinkled in. Enjoy.
