Anger Management

Have you ever had this feeling that you just want to rip the fucking head off someone you care about? Well, that's exactly how I feel right now.

I find outrageous the thought that I actually have to apologize to people for getting to climb up the company food chain, especially when I've worked my backside off to earn that! And when this kind or attitude comes from people you thought to be your friends, well things can get pretty ugly.

In another, merrier topic, I have queried a number of agents and I'm waiting for the replies. I guess the fact that I live in a non-English speaking country will play a big part in this process, still I'm hopefully. I believe in my story and I like to think that I deserve a chance. I'm prepared to face rejections; I'm sure every author faces difficulties when he tries to start his career. I'm going to keep trying until I finally suceed.

Once again, thank you for reading. Gotta go; this entry is made from the office and now I'm off. Plus, there's a weekend full of possibilities up ahead! Cheers!

Diamonds

Things at work are moving pretty slow lately; the hr department is facing difficulties. However, the import/ export business is booming. We're currently in talks with a number of Angolian diamond mining companies interested in exporting their products. But that's boring so, I'll just skip the whole work talk. Sometimes, when I talk about my job, I feel like I'm forty years old. That sucks!

I'm currently writing the second book of my trilogy but I'm having difficulties with one particular character; I just can't get him the way I want. I was forced to rewrite many parts of the book. Having written more than 100 pages so far you can understand it hasn't exactly been a walk in the park. Long story short, I believe I have finally built him the way I want, still I have a few reservations. There are a few things I need to sort out but I can say I'm satisfied. He is a particularly complicated character and he has done some terrible things in the first book. What I'm concerning myself with these days is whether forgiveness is possible when someone horrible has changed so blatantly obviously. I think it mostly depends on the mentality of the person he seeks forgiveness from. Logically, it also depends on the crime he has commited against this person. So, I guess there is no standard rule, everything is relevant. But I'm confident I'll work it out. It's just going a bit slow because I'm writing a bunch of really important scenes that influence the majority of my characters.

I also got a twitter account :)!! I'm so excited! Ta ta for now!

Milk

I have no idea what is wrong with me lately; maybe it's the diet - i don't know but for the past few weeks I've found myself tottaly addicted to almond milk. I guess that's pretty advantageous as far as my figure is concerned but I doubt it does much good to my health...

Anyway, truth be told, things are pretty hectic here; right now, I'm working on the second installment to my trilogy, yet I find myself constantly running back to the beginning. It's like I'm stuck in a freaking time loop! There's always something bothering me and I find myself re-writing great parts of the book, which is kind of weird for me, not to mention a brand new experience. I'm having particular difficult dealing with the way characters have evolved over the years; the events of my second book occur ten years after the first one, so naturally everything is different. What's more, following the events of the first book, the characters have changed radically. I'm not sure they have all ended up where they should; I find myself constantly re-thinking their individual plotlines but I'm pretty confident I'm close to where I'm supposed to be. Also, my sister has started schetching again. She hasn't shown me anything yet (she's kind of a perfectionist) but I'm sure she will  when she feels her work is done.

Speaking of addictions, I feel the need to point out that TV series in my era are totally and utterly addictive. Personally, I find myself addicted to American Horror Story and (naturally) Game of Thrones. Also, The Vampire Diaries have become quite popular among people my age, though I really don't buy the hype, I watch them with my sister on occasions and I have to tell you, I found the fourth season kind of redundant. Otherwise, I have to admit it's fun to watch.

Anyway, I'm updating my blog from work; I'm leaving in about an hour. Tomorrow, I'm going to a Depeche Mode concert! I'll be posting my impressions here soon after. Other than that, I'm waiting for the new Star Trek movie to hit the cinemas; I'm sooooo excited, I loved the first one and I really wish the second film lives up to it!

Anyway, thanks for reading, hopefully I didn't bore you (though to tell you the truth, sometimes my reality bores me...). Ta ta for now!
