Grout cleaners and writing projects.

If I had not met someone in service that turned into a good RV, it would have been a bad day. After said call, I left to do some return visits with a brother when he got a call that a car group had gotten stuck in the dirt. Long story short, we sat there for over two hours as a brother left work and came to help us get out. Piece of advice, if you get stuck in soft dirt, don't floor it. You'll only get stuck much, much worse. So I finally get back and I spend the better part of the afternoon cleaning grout at the kingdom hall. Daniel Greene and I ran out of cleaning solution before we could clean the sisters bathroom. So we spent another 20 minutes hanging out on the couch talking with another brother in the nursery in the womens restroom. I was going to complain about not having one in the mens room, but I realised that if we did no one would want to use it.

So, I needed something creative to do. I don't have a guitar right now, so I had to settle for a creative writing project. Someone of you might have noticed a link to a blog I have in my link list. Some guy wrote a journal as if he was Darth Vader. It's actually well written.

So I decided to do one in the same manner. Though being the dork I am, I chose a video game. The Legend of Zelda, more specifically the latest version: The wind waker. The project is going to be a long one, as I have to go through the game again and turn it into story form. And here's the hard part, make it interesting. Especially for those who don't know the story already. Which, I think it is safe to say, is most of you.

Yeah, I'm a nerd I know but I am comfortable enough with myself to accept it and roll with it. Don't know if you'll like it, but I'm constantly correcting wording and phrasing. So something you don't like might be changed.

If you ever find yourself needing to get unstuck...call me. I would be more than obliged.

That chair was comfy. I never thought I'd be hanging out in a women's restroom - see, that's why, it just doesn't sound right!

I can't wait to see how you do this all the way through. Create away!

YOU DELETED THE WRITING PROJECT PAGE?!? Or are you just relocating it?

I scrapped the project. I spent so much time writing my second entry and I hated it. After all that effort and nothing good to show for it, I thought it best to scrap it. I have an idea for another writing project. I will plan that out before hand on paper before I post them.
