   More Schitzo-Sam

   Hello, deep dark internet. It’s your friendly neighborhood… um, Sam. We really ought to give you a better name. Mine is still cool though. =)

   So. I’m pretty much killing time until the pool opens. I can’t focus on reading, and I don’t want to play video games. I want to write. I want to give you guys Chasing Clouds, because I keep promising it to you, and to myself. I feel frozen though, since I’ve never written anything like it before.

   I don’t know what else to do, though. If I don’t write that, then what? World of Warcraft had another contest recently, and I just couldn’t come up with anything. I want to write my own fiction, not fan-based stuff. I was on a roll during the semester, but got thrown off completely by the move.

   So, what to do?

   I’ll tell me what to do. (By the way, for those of you new to the show, Sam is a total schitzo. I think Business Sam is about to take over.)

   Business Sam: Write it. It’s going to suck, man. Just deal with that fact and get it out there. Assume it’s going to suck and write it anyway. You just might look back at it and realize, “Man, that SUCKS… but I really got better because I wrote it.” Hell, you may even look back sometime far in the future and go, “Man, that SUCKS, but it doesn’t suck as bad as I thought it did.”

   Artist Sam: But… I don’t WANT it to suck?

   Business Sam: What do you want more, to write something that sucks and get better, or to never write anything at all because you’re acting like a pansy about it?

   Artist Sam: *Sniff* … the second one…

   Business Sam: Damn straight. Now go swimming and eat something. You can’t write when you’re hungry.

   Artist Sam: Ok, thanks business Sam. I love you.

   Business Sam: Shut up and get outta here.
