I Need to Write More

I suck at consistently writing. I think through the whole summer that I mayhaps wrote half a chapter. That half a chapter felt really good once I had written it, but as a whole, I suck. I blame the summer. I used to love summer because no school, but now it sucks. I don't like warm weather.

Despite not writing, I have been thinking a lot, and thinking is an important part of the writing process (its just also important to go past that part.) I've created a new folder in my flash drive called Ideas because of all the thinking I've been doing. I have three files in it now. One is a sentence that would be fun to open on, one is an entire series that I wish to write someday, and the other is something that I thought up whilst reading the third Fablehaven book. The two story ideas both include dragons. Theres a shocker. One has a man who was a dragon, cursed to take human form (but that's a spoiler), and the other has an Ambassador to the Dragons who is some kid of a yet unknown age.

Hopefully, these ideas and all my thinking will lead to a huge writing burst when the weather stops trying to melt my brain at all times. I'm currently in my sister's house, which is very south, and I would be unable to write this if not for her glorious AC. I might maybe get some writing done whilst I am here. That would be fun times.

Edit: After I finished the above and hit submit I realized that I hadn't written an idea down yet. So there are now four files in my idea folder. Something about guilds and mages or something.
