Uneventful Thursday

 It's past 11pm. 


I had a pretty uneventful day. I was stuck indoors throughout but was in no mood to write. I feel like I'm the one holding back my own progress because I refuse to take risks. I know writing these articles are bringing in some peanuts. However, this cannot be what I want to build on, for the life of me! 


And the funny thing is I've told this client I want to take some time off. Yet, he keeps bringing more work. He's helped me a great deal and I just don't want to disappoint him. However, it cannot continue like this. He brought another set of articles today and I believe that's what made me lose my momentum. I need to find a solution to this niggling issue. 


I saw another guy's account for the month of November. $1780+ amassed. Almost a million. Can you imagine what yours truly would have done with such money? 


It's well. 

I haven't said this in a long time, but I'm still made of more. I'm made of so much more. 


Today, I felt really really lonely. Having cut off the last thing that looked like a relationship, it sometimes seem like I didn't do well. 


There's a lady I'd been trying to get to know but the passion just isn't there.


Today's got to be one of the really low days. I pray tomorrow's better. 


I don't remember telling you about the heat in this place. It's real. Like oven-hot real. The sitting room is the only place a little cool. That's where I've stationed my table. It's where I am currently. Yesterday, I slept with my head on the table, the few hours I did. I woke up with a throbbing head. 


I had to force myself to sleep around 10 am today on the bed. I could only do it because there was light and the fan in the room is manageble. The standing fan here is way better. 


The funny thing is there was light almost throughout today. They took it by 6pm. Yet, I can't account for what I spent the day doing. 


I slept this evening after taking dinner. That's by 8pm. I woke up few minutes past 10pm. That's why my eyes are shining like this. But there's no light. 


I just decided I would go back to the articles and force myself. I prefer some qualities of my old phone to the new one. I still feel like I shouldn't have gotten it. 


I notice some Nairalanders I follow no longer come here a often as they did in the past. Sometimes, I wish they are around. Some things staying the same gives you hope that the world's still sane. 


I used to think that I had a problem because I was a sucker for beauty. However, I read today that humans are wired to admire beauty (like to not ignore beauty). 


I wish I could go deeper, but I'd rather stop at the surface level. 

Time to go.

Completed a short story ghostwriting gig

I spent the early hours of the morning mopping the house. With the pseudo-harmattan, there were ash remains on the verandah and it had found the way into the living room. After that, I showered and then tried to put on the writing cap. It didn’t flow. I had a deadline to meet and words didn’t want to come. It wasn’t even the main work. I wanted to do the outline so I could go on a stretch when I begin. It wasn’t until late in the afternoon that I told myself I’d just write. That’s when the fountain started flowing. It reminded me of what Stephen Kings said about amateur writers waiting for inspiration ‘while the rest of us get up and do the work.’ So, I wrote. It was a slow process. That’s quite understandable as I haven’t been writing fiction in a while. I believe I’ll pick up speed as I progress. I want to get this posted before 12am.i might come back to add more content.  So, I ended up writing 2500+ words today.

Traveling again

 I was on the road for most of the day. I left the house by 8am. The bus didn't get filled on time. So, I had to wait until about past 11am. The journey was fast but dull.  I chewed gums almost the whole day. I was awake for most of the journey. However, just the few minutes I shut my eyes proved crucial as I missed the turn I was supposed to come down and had to pay another fare (10% of original fare) to return.  I will leave my parent's early tomorrow. I have article works to take care of. I'm barely 20% done.  It's 11:08 pm now. I need to wake up by 6:00am. There's so much to do, I don't even know if I should try to stay awake.  My mouth hurts from the places I bit my tongue while chewing the gum. I discovered chewing gums helps one stay awake. I wonder if I can begin using it. Are there other ways to stay awake at night? Maybe I should Google it immediately I finish this update.  In other news, I've finished the book I've been working on for almost t...

Articles. Lots of them

 Article works keep coming in and to think I'm getting peanuts from them. It's time to take a stand. Don't you think so? I should get back to writing for myself.  A new title to write about just came and I haven't even written the last two. Pathetic! That's my thoughts. I should get over this immediately.  I will write this last badge and then, focus solely on getting some book writing done.  I'm at book 5 of Harry Potter. Thought you'd never ask. It brings back so many memories. Got to go now!
