Road blocks.

I am trying so hard to fit writing into my schedule, as it has to be there for thesis purposes, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult. I'm working five shifts a week, or rather, full time, and going to school full time. Creative writing is an overwhelming endeavor as it is, but finishing a degree alongside an eight hour work day is making me a bit terrified.

I have set up all of the necessary allowances. I built myself a reading and writing cave so that my ideas have a special space to brew in. I am in the process of reorganizing my desk so that I can sit down at my typewriter and actually write. I am trying to figure out the best reading schedule to make for myself. A book a week? A book every two weeks? I can't decide what a good speed is--too fast, and I'll get discouraged and check out of my work; too slow, and I'll get lazy and complacent.

I also lost my glasses. I should't even be attempting the internet right now. I am trying to justify this moment by saying that my web browser is open as an aid for looking into buying a second pair of glasses so that I'll have a spare. This is only half true.

I'm really not sure how I am meant to build any structure out of words when I cannot see to read or write them. This will be an interesting experiment.
