Tightrope to the Sun: 5.1.14

Thursday, May 1

Insert an NSYNC meme reference here.

Truly, as I've gotten older this whole "year" thing has been reduced to milliseconds. And May will be the fastest millisecond of all.

I finished all of my finals last week and CRUSHED THEM. 200/200 on my final English Theory final essay. The rest went just as well but that one was my biggest victory. Sadly I don't get that big of a break from school since I'm taking 18 credits this summer. Bring it. I'm less than thrilled about it but, you know, I also want to graduate before I'm 30 years old so summer semester it is! Summer semester starts on the 12th so I have a little bit of time before classes begin.

Today I'm also starting a job at a professional theater company in Salt Lake stage crewing a show! It'll be all day every day but Sunday's for the majority of the month. So May... is gonna kick my ass for real. I'm excited though! It's been a long time since I've been able to be involved in theater so it will be nice to be back on a stage and working with a crew.

With all this being said, Happy May everyone! I hope I'll find time to blog somewhere in this Manic May, but we'll see. I hope you all have brilliant things planned!

words

Confess to yourself in the deepest hour of the night whether you would have to die if you were forbidden to write. Dig deep into your heart, where the answer spreads its roots in your being, and ask yourself solemnly, 'Must I write?'

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.

-F. Scott Fitzgerald

There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

-Ernest Hemingway

Study broadly and without fear.

-John Green

Writing is hard. Not as hard as not writing. Not writing is torturous, bloody, chaotic, and a gruesome winless battle. A writer who writes, knows peace, lives connected to truth. Not writing is ache, betrayal, death of the soul and imagination.

-Coco J. Ginger
