I haven't bailed on writing.

Look, I'm generating a random paragraph at this very


moment in an attempt to get my writing back on track. I am making an effort. I will
start writing consistently again!
She sat down with her notebook in her hand, her mind wandering to faraway places.
She paused and considered all that had happened. It hadn't gone as expected. When
the day began she thought it was going to be a bad one, but as she sat recalling
the day's events to write them down, she had to admit, it had been a rather
marvelous day.
I checked in for the night at Out O The Way motel. What a bad choice that was.
First I took a shower and a spider crawled out of the drain. Next, the towel rack
fell down when I reached for the one small bath towel. This allowed the towel to
fall halfway into the toilet. I tried to watch a movie, but the remote control was
sticky and wouldn’t stop scrolling through the channels. I gave up for the night
and crawled into bed. I stretched out my leg and felt something furry by my foot.
Filled with fear, I reached down and to my surprise, I pulled out a raccoon skin
pair of underwear. After my initial relief that it wasn’t alive, the image of a
fat, ugly businessman wearing raccoon skin briefs filled my brain. I jumped out of
the bed, threw my toothbrush into my bag, and sprinted towards my car.
She closed her eyes and then opened them again. What she was seeing just didn't
make sense. She shook her head seeing if that would help. It didn't. Although it
seemed beyond reality, there was no denying she was witnessing a large formation of
alien spaceships filling the sky.
There was a leak in the boat. Nobody had yet noticed it, and nobody would for the
next couple of hours. This was a problem since the boat was heading out to sea and
while the leak was quite small at the moment, it would be much larger when it was
ultimately discovered. John had planned it exactly this way.
Twenty seconds were all that was left and Richard could hear each one tick by.
Fifteen seconds now remained and the panic began to fully set in. Ten seconds and
he wasn't sure he had enough time. Five seconds, four, three, two, one...
Finding the truth wouldn't be easy, that's for sure. Then there was the question of
whether or not Jane really wanted to know the truth. That's the thing that bothered
her most. It wasn't the difficulty of actually finding out what happened that was
the obstacle, but having to live with that information once it was found.
Sometimes that's just the way it has to be. Sure, there were probably other
options, but he didn't let them enter his mind. It was done and that was that. It
was just the way it had to be.
