Writing

So it's official--I've started a book! I've had the idea in my head for a while now, and I just said, today's the day! (I'm only 700 words in, so it's not like it's going fast or anything).

The hardest part about writing for me is the naming. I cannot for the life of me pick character names. I just hate all the ones I choose. I throw in a stand-by name, end up really hating it, then go through a whole story to change it, just to realize that maybe it wasn't that bad of a name after all...you get the picture. So that's been challenging. Otherwise, it's business as usual. My fingers fly around on my keyboard, then I'm two pages deep in a flash. I should of started this a long time ago.

I think what's been inspiring me lately is this blog, Nat the Fat Rat. She's a really good writer, which is hard to come by these days, especially in the blogging world. She writes the perfect amount (in my opinion anyway), and I have yet to see an error. THAT'S HUGE PEOPLE!! Even a misplaced "and", a misused "apart/a part" which I CANNOT stand, nothing!! Plus her kid is adorable, maybe that's where THIS came from...

So I'll keep writing, but for now, here are two more awesome pictures of all my awesome temporary tattoos!! I had wayyyy too much fun last night with them, kind of wish I had more to add to be honest. 

I sent my mom the picture I Instagramed, and her exact words back were: "Thank God they are temporary!", probably due to the fact that I have two real tattoos and counting--sorry mom!
