Keeping Myself Motivated...

I found blood and I saw stars
All in the back seat of you car
And I told you it was love...
But you won't know the truth


I have recently been working on a new story called "The Barn". It's basically about a guy who is slowly figuring out that life is more then just drinking and smoking weed. Mean while his alcoholic girl friend and college buddies start to irritate him to the point of frustration, leaving him no good place to turn to to start over.

It starts off really good but now I've gotten a little tired of it. I know how I want it to end, but my plot is getting flat on me, like it tends to do for almost every story I have ever written. I'm trying my best to stick this one out though. If only I can thin
k of a way to push my character over the edge....

Here are some photos I stole off facebook and edited them as potential 'book covers'.
I feel like a total creep stealing them without asking... but oh well. No one reads this blog anyway. And it's not like anyone is going to see the 'book cover'... since the story won't even get finished.


... I think I like the first one the most, since I've always been a 'clean picture' person. (It's of the main character, Max) But the second one shows my idea of an actual barn party, (it's of drunk people partying.. in a barn!) and it's dark and eerie, like the silent theme of my story. Oh well, like it matters!
