I am in school. Obviously, the people in charge do not realize how hard it is to focus on what a+b squared equals when, just moments before, I was happily attacking someone with a sharp knife. So, pretty much, when the teacher asked me what the answer to problem eleven was, and I miraculously answered correctly with "3", I was not talking about what "a" stood for. I meant how many people my wonderful antagonist had killed "today".
Whenever I can, due to this, I am actually writing - not just living in my head.
It's entertaining. The reactions I get, I mean. I guess the writing is, too, but that's another story. A few minutes left in class - left to boredom - and I whip out my handy-dandy notebook and begin writing away. The girl in front of me turns around.
"Whatcha writing?"
"Nothing."
"Oh. So schoolwork?"
"Nope." Really? Why would I be passionately bent over my schoolwork, making faces at the non-dialogue happening? "I just like to write.
Then comes a whole conversation about me writing, how someone else loved my poem's I was forced into reading out loud to the class last year, and how I plan on finding someway to write for a living.
The best part? I have two people who claim they will read a book I write. And I know for sure BSmith will.
Which is good. Except my ego needed to be deflated.
So I tried to get my father to read something I wrote.
It worked.
Now, back to writing something that does not happen in this reality.

I will read your book silly goose :D
Well, I am forcing you into reading the one. And then Naomi will. But you first to make sure "other" people can understand what is happening.
I hope you're counting Little Miss SunRain, because she would totally read your books. And I think I can convince a couple others. You're very silly.
