The other, other, other blog

I have way to many interests. Writing happens to be one of them, for now.  I am also taking a creative writing class as I thought it would help further my skills as a writer.  I have a project that I have started but has been shelved for a little while because I got extremely side tracked.  That story will get written as it gets written but this is more for my own exploration.  Trying different techniques and different viewpoints to try and broaden mt abilities, all which will hopefully make my other project easier to complete and be a better piece of work.

I have a lot of really rough writing prompt work that I will probably post to this blog just to either rewrite it, or maybe even hear some sort of feedback from others because I know that nothing I do is anywhere near perfect and most if it probably is not worth even reading.  I will include one of my previous writing prompts below as a starter, and hopefully I can make a habit of posting stuff here with some sort of regularity.


     One more. That is what you always say. Just one more it will be okay. Ya, I have probably said that way too many times, none worse than on a St. Patricks day.
    It started as soon work ended. I will just have a couple beers before I go out. A couple turns into a few, into a group, into five-spot. That should have been enough, but of course it was not.
     Neither was the pitcher of beer that Chris had ready for me when I arrived. Or the four that followed that one. Then came the shots, the Jameson, and the glittery paper green hat I took from some girl named Lauren. I hazily remember my bartender asking me if I was ordering another drink, I said no, or something similar, and he looked relieved.
     The rest of the story, is not told from my perspective, because I do not have one. My ride for the night  arrived at 2am to find me slung over a chair. Luckily for her, one of my other friends was there to help shove my body into the truck. Home was another story. Waking my roommate to help drag me up the driveway, and deposit me into the bed, I am sure she was glad to be rid of me.
     You do not want to know the details I awoke to the next morning, but I can just say I did not eat Vietnamese for quite a while after that.
