Preparing to Return to Werbel

It is both reassuring and frustrating: whenever I start writing, the desire to write increases. It is reassuring because my dream is to be an author. It is frustrating because I often have to do things besides writing.

I like free refills by the way. I have drunk quite a large amount of green tea.

I also have to read more. How can a man read everything and write everything with finite time?! I'm looking forward to eternity; I'll get to read and write all the things.

Once again, I have this nagging inclination to write creatively, but I feel something akin to guilty because – or such is the feeling – I should be writing about Werbel instead. But I still have to reread his story! And I haven't gotten to a printer yet! And a printed copy would be much easier to read!

I like tutoring. I want to tutor, but I really would prefer to write. I have a little under half an hour before my student arrives. I think, once I've moved, I shall devote Wednesdays to writing. No students. Just writing.

Taxes! Let's not talk about them yet.

I am finished with the upcoming student at 5, and my next one is at 7. Perhaps I can get even more writing done between them! I would also like a nap. Too many things to do and too little time.

Once again, I'm thinking too hard. I've half a mind to write another sketch. I like dragons. I like fire. No no! No elementals yet. I have to finish that poor boy's story. Lizards and rabbits. I still don't remember what the mineral is called; I don't even feel too confident about it. If I were to eliminate it, however, I would still need a goal for the lizards. I don't think they just want to build large buildings or tunnels or what have you. I really think they want to overpower, to conquer. What the heck is Rrrassiktchyackachrrr doing with his life though? Is he burrowed away in some hidden throne-room, laden with impenetrable armor? He seems hidden, but that makes him seem weak. He's cautious, but he's not weak. He's not as learned as the librarian, but he's plenty smart. In claw-to-claw combat, Chirrratka would probably win – but only just.

I think Allison will survive. I still fear for Jesse. Werbel's the protagonist; Chirrratka likes him though, so it's not quite contrived. Jalek's a tough old jumper. I'm not sure what's going to happen with Mary. I wouldn't mess with Alabaster. Brind, I fear, is doomed to be weak and twisted.

Haha, I just imagined the librarian, after all the mess has settled, in the middle of a bunch of rabbits, feeling awkward and out of place. He's not afraid at all; he's bashful almost. That's going to be a weird transition, but he'll get to read plenty, so he'll be content enough. Alabaster will be confused, but I think Allison and he will be sweethearts, so she'll help him adjust. I fear for Jesse; he's a cute, feisty little guy, but he's too young. I hope he's alright. Truly, I'm not sure what's going to happen to him.

Their hearts are all rippling with purpose, but I cannot figure out their bloody circumstances. I just have to read. I just have to read and then write.
