Transcript (which the video follows, mostly):

*Sigh...* I'll be kind and warn you beforehand that this is a depressing entry today. Of course, I'll be still using my written blogs, but right now I don't feel like immediately dealing with the things.

I'm going to call this author blog entry number seven. As that is technically what this is. As I write this and speak this and yes I do write down what I plan on saying. Today, I'll just read off the sheet. Otherwise -- unscripted, I'd make no sense. A hint of that would be the blogs before my "Better Stories Update" video. But anyways, I've decided to add a transcript to the side of this video for anyone who is unable to hear. I don't understand why I hadn't thought of that before.

Anyways...Entry number seven. First off, an update on Pivot. I've hit a bit of a snag, one in which I am unable to write. And it's not a mental block, but I haven't had my laptop with me and a lot of the time, I don't feel like sitting up at a desktop computer and struggle to write. I'm heading over to my aunt's yet again, but this time, the machine's coming with me.

Pivot... I plan on writing more than eleven pages this time, which means I'll be scrambling to fill the chapters with more information and shudder it all..more dialog. And information. I mean it is my story isn't it? I should be able to comfortably add what I want to it.

For if I become too bored, I'll just read a few stories, which should perk me up considerably.

Improbable, chapter three is still in my head. I think today, I'll devote solely to my writing because that was one thing I enjoyed while on a week long break from work. Being able to write and think on my own time.

Revisited Pasts is oddly enough, back in action...sort of. Ahem.

Contracts and Disclosures is on paper, in pieces... and when I get a chance to write. Ugh!

And Under A Primal Sky is still not edited... I'm more disappointed about that than any of you will ever know.

Now, also, of course, I'm starting revisions on a novel I wrote when I was fourteen. And for me, a revision means I'm completely rewriting the thing. Let's see how long that one takes me, hmm?

Oh and I also wanted to mention a section in writing about naming the character. How do I get names? Currently, I'm working on fanfictions mainly, to the character names are as easy as using the actual ones. But, when I'm writing for my own entertainment or for roleplay posts, what I do is go to www.google.com and type in: "Baby Name Lists". Amazingly simplistic, isn't it? And I can specify based on which cultural background I want the name to come from.

Now then... I have a section in my blogs where I usually have extra information, right? Today, I woke up feeling exceptionally well, which is saying a lot considering... I also had a fantastic dream which I can't at all remember now. And then I got some phone calls. Two from two people I know. Both asking to borrow money.

It's odd, even my coworkers think I'm rich. I see one hundred seven dollars and fifty cents looking back at me from my paycheck due to non-voluntarily shortened hours and I'm told that I am rich? In this country, that is not at all the case. When I do get an excess of money, which is always nice... I for some stupid reason would mention it to these two people...or my mother.

Me mentioning even having a penny is never a good thing with my mother. And I've already decided not to mention any big checks anymore. There's no point. And now you must be thinking that I have quite a lot, huh? Which is not at all the case. I'd have more if not for wasting it my first year at this job...on people who weren't all that appreciative. One actually started ignoring me afterwards. How kind!

So...all in all, me being unable to read anything that was quality, a lack of writing and being asked for money and then having the person try to guilt and negotiate me out of it... It has me a little bit angry. Just a touch. And also depressed. But that is to be expected...right?

And that is that for my other stuffs...or whatever I call that entry in the middle of my blogs.

One of my roleplay buddies has also been in contact and we had a really fun session. Thanks again for that, Car. *Laughter*

That...would be all. Take care.
