Ah Wednesday, Oh Wait, It's Wednesday :(

Woke up this morning and realized a very important fact, it's Wednesday and it's been a slow week. I think it should be Thursday so tomorrow will be Friday, but hey, I finished the painful first draft of a book yesterday! Wooo! Always worth celebrating when you finish a book, I advice, chocolate, makes up for those hours you spent banging your head against a wall in frustration.
Aside from being Wednesday, today is also a recital where I get to play my violin in front of a lot of people and I'm not good under pressure like that. Last time (back in December) I was shaking so badly I could hardly bow and then nearly made myself pass out with fear when I messed up. I'm trying to buoy myself up with happy thoughts, or you know, at least pretending that I'm one of my characters in that shaky position (this character is named Payton Jamison Hawkins, little spitfire in the flesh, but he has the same problem I do, doesn't do well with a lot of eyes staring at him) I do the whole 'pretend I'm one of my characters' thing a lot.
Anyway, I hope I don't pass out tonight, that'd be bad, and I'm constantly afraid of injuring my violin, first off, I love playing it and I'd miss it if I couldn't and second off, it was really expensive! Yeah, I think I'll just look at my fingers instead of the all the people staring at me, but I guess we'll see how well I do :)
So, for those of you writing a horrible first draft that makes you want to throw up because of the cheesiness, here's my advice. You ever had a Subway sandwich without cheese? Doesn't it seem to be missing something? To get the whole experience, you need the cheese, and with each draft you write, you'll get more flavor in there so that the cheesiness isn't so overpowering. Every book is a little cheesy here and there, I know mine are (but rarely, haha, kidding :D) in some places, but I've worked hard to add a variety of flavors. Too much cheese is like trying to drink from a fire hydrant, too little, and it's lacking something, and yes, I'm a big fan of Subway.
Okay, hopefully my advice will help you, and I need to go start on History. *Discrete cough of disgust* I'm not fond of history, I mean I LIKE learning about the past, but not the way that some teachers teach it. A monotone is NOT required to be a history teacher, show some expression seriously! And on top of that, I'm learning about present world history, and that just makes me depressed, I'm a pessimist, naturally and when I hear about all the painful ways that we could get blown up by nukes, my pessimism just gets worse.
Which reminds me of a quote, I have no idea who said it, "Dear pessimist and optimist, while you were discussing whether the glass was half empty or half full, I drank it. Sincerely yours, the opportunist."
Sounds a little like Aster the Terrible, but I think he'd just dump it over their heads to shut them up :)

This music is made by Adrian Von Ziegler (hope I spelled that right!) I'm in total awe over his talent. I love his music, not so fond of the pictures used in the background, but the music just makes my jaw drop. It's good for writing music, if you're looking for some. http://www.youtube.com/user/AdrianvonZiegler?feature=watch here's a link to his YouTube page if you want more. :)
