A New Way To Write

So as you might have realized I’m really bad at writing on a regular bases. And it's not just writing posts but my actually story is moving along at a snail's pace. So I've found a new way to do it. I just got an iPhone (it's pretty awesome) and in the notes part I will write just whenever I’m bored like on commercials or waiting for people. So I don't have to sit down and force myself to write at my computer, which is totally not working. And then I just e-mail myself to note and add it to my story when I get the chance. I know I should really be trying even harder to get some words down but at least it’s something!

Whiteboard Planning

I was planning the third part of my story today and I realized how weird I go about it.
I have this obsession with whiteboards. From study, to to-do lists, to story boarding it goes on the board.
These are just some of my very strange and vague pictures depicting a few scenes:

^ANGRY GUY IS ANGRY!

It's funny how these terribly drawn scribbles mean an entire story for me but are total nonsense to everyone else.
... I kind of feel like a spy with cryptic messages....

Three Things

1. SO... I was going to write today but then I was just like... "not gonna happen." No reason for this really, just not in the mood. But I don't have school tomorrow so I'll try to write at least something then.

2. I'm quite liking the way my story is playing out though. It's basically a bunch of short stories all on one event but from different perspectives and I've finished the first one. I think writing a story like this (a bunch of short ones) is good for me right now because I don't want to throw myself into something as long and complicated as my first attempt at a novel.

3. I have a lot of other things I want to write too. I have a zombie story swimming around in my brain and I can't wait to get that out on paper. I don't want to rush this current WIP though... so I'll have to try and hold off on that idea for now.
