So, okay, I just made this big post about how I need to quit slacking off and just write. I will. I swear I will.

But first I need to brag a little on the camera I bought myself last week and that should be in sometime this week or next.

I bought myself a Canon Digital Rebel XT digital camera. It comes with a 18-55mm lens and all the OEM accessories. On eBay, I picked up a set of filters (UV, polarization, and florescent) to go with it. My next purchase (when the camera gets here) will be a Compact Flash card for it. Then in a few months, I might pick myself up a bigger lens, maybe a macro or a telephoto. I know, huge difference, but I'm not sure if I want close up or far away yet. I'm leaning towards a large angle lens, though.

Yes, I'm a geek. I love myself for it.

Okay, after a lot of debate, I've decided to upgrade my account here from free to Permanent before they take the option away in March.

I'm still digging my new layout, even if it's all green. Actually two of my three journals are green right now: my Tin Man layout on Live Journal and this one. Journal Fen is still blue, for a while, till I find a layout in green that I like.

And I don't even like green!

Lots to do today: go by the GMC dealership and pick up my touch-up pens for my car; go by Sam's Club and get some of our groceries and a new box of my contacts; go by the Parkway Wal-Mart or the Thomasville Road Wal-Mart and get groceries; maybe go by Books-A-Million or Borders and see if either of them have the Sandra Hill books I'm missing, as well as a copy of the 2008 Writer's Market book for less than the cost of my (eventually slightly possible) firstborn child; and WRITE.

I did pretty well last night and got about 1800 words written after I got home, plus the 1000 I did whilst I was still at Grandmother's, for a total of a little over 2800 words. I need to do another day like that, preferably without the staying up till nearly 1 a.m., but I already know I can do that if needs be. I'm running so far behind that it isn't even funny. If I keep writing over 2200 words a day, I might be caught by the end of the week, but the more I write per day over that, the closer I'll be to caught up and the sooner.

So, errands then writing. Game plan.
