Dragon Novel Update I haven't posted here in a while, and for that I sincerly apologize. I don't know if anyone really is reading this, but I feel I should make an effort to keep the posts coming regardless.

As for the Dragon Novel:
Two weeks ago, I got busy with non-writing stuff.
Last week, I was still busy, and then I got depressed.
This week, I've written 4 chapters.

I've implemented a new attitude toward the writing. I'm treating it as if it's a job, not a hobby, which means even if I don't feel like doing it, I do it. I've been going to my local coffee shop, buying a coffee and a bagel, and writing until my hand hurts. I got 2 chapters finished yesterday, and 2 more done today. Which brings me up to chapter 5. Tomarrow, hopefully I'll have completed to chapter 7. Keep this up, and next week I'll have Part 1 finished. I'm looking forward to that.

The fun part was going to the dentist yesterday. They were having computer problems, and so I was forced to sit patiently in the lobby. Rather than idly waste my time on a magazine, I pulled out my notes and began writing. One of the secretaries (dentist secretaries are still secretaries, right? or are they dental-assistants or something...I dunno), said "oh, working on homework."
I replied, "No, I'm writing a novel"
"Oh wow," She said. "What's it about?"
"Dragons" I said simply. People understand Dragons.
"Oh wow," She said again.
Then the Dental Hygenist came, and as we were being led back, she said "Sorry about the wait."
"No problem," I replied. "I was just working."
"oh?" she said. "On what?"

After I got my teeth cleaned, I explained it to her, then, as I was paying, explained it to another secretary who asked. All of them were facinated and being super-complimentary. The Hygenist said "oh, I could never do that." and I replied that I wasn't sure I could either. She laughed and said, "Well at least you're trying. I wouldn't even know where to begin."

Anyways, I'm just taking a break from it all, and thought I'd contribute. After I get done holding my cat, I'll likely go back to working on it for a little while.
