Never mind that I had to nuke a bunch of what I wrote both Saturday and Sunday (and was extremely disappointed to have to do so, extremely so, but oh well). I think I'm on a roll now, headed the right direction with several things: (1) an anonymous Torchwood writing thing (may have been the last to sign up--lol), (2) on the mystery (collab--Nick/bad guy), and (3) on Stage (historical fantasy with a young protagonist, but I don't consider it YA, at least by the definitions of YA I've been able to find...which are sketchy at best. Hmmm.) I peeked at it today (and my boss did too, having found a bit of my printout on the printer. Oops). Aww Gwion, I love you and promise life! *beams*
I still need to write a synopsis for my ms I want to turn in to my publisher by Sunday. Geesh it is hard to stop and pull together a synopsis while in the throes of Creative Mode. Argh. Especially one for a 44 chapter ms that is over 250,000 words. It is supposed to be detailed--but only 3-4 pages long. *rolls on floor dying* I swear I need to stop writing the monsters. (looks up at Stage--nah, never mind that nonsense, it'll be long too).
I'm not doing NANOWRIMO, at least not officially...but I am devoting all my energies (and I do mean all) to writing during that month. With Nick back in Kiel, I have to have something to hold onto, to keep me sane whilst (I love that word, dammit--I don't care if I am Texan) he is sleeping at night. The meet and greets don't appeal, especially since all of them meet at places where there is free wifi--and that is what all the people seem to want. I have decided, actually Nick and I have decided, that wifi and the internet are not at all good for writing, and we are most productive where we don't have it. We've been going to B&N every night for a couple of hours and both of us have been producing some very good numbers. (Even if first I, then Nick, professed that 'everything' is crap...). Writers are artists and artists are temperamental, so...
Thankfully, I got over my "I will never write again" and I know Nick will too (even though he's right next to me, glaring at his screen). I guess that is normal, huh. Oh no now he's coming to see what I just wrote... Hope he doesn't smack me when I say he is absolutely a wonderful, amazing, creative, gifted writer-- And he just called me a liar, I am biased...oh yes, of course. Whatever.
Geesh he's in a mood, kicking curbs (kerbs), throwing things, rolling around, sticking his tongue out... LOL. Temperamental artist. Yeah. But I know how he feels.
Let's see what else--I've added a few new warm bodies to my flist lately, and have been added to a few too. I seem to be devoting more time to LJ again. I've been on this thing for around seven years now I suppose...and always seem to roll back. Still have a few though from the original lj! *waves*
And one last word: tonight, Nick wanted comfort food (that's what I call it anyway). We had mashed potato with sunny side up eggs (free-range, happy eggs--lol). It was weird, it was good. I ate two dinners though--that ISN'T good. Earlier was a bowl of soup and a half sandwich, lunch a hot pocket and an apple, breakfast (sshhhh) two sausage-croissanty rolls. Hmmm.)
Okay rambling now. This is not productive writing, just chatty. Night all!
C, off to round up frisky husky--had a drop of temps and he is nuts--and toss him in his crate for the night

Date: 2008-10-23 02:15 pm (UTC)I have nothing to do at work, which in my case is actually not good, because I have to do billable hours...I can't just sit here and play which is what I am doing now. Argh.
How is YOUR writing--I know you've probably said in some of your posts. I am sure you have....

Pat loves those sausage, egg and cheese croissants.

Date: 2008-10-23 03:04 pm (UTC)My B&N is hugely popular...from the guy who comes EVERY night to read all the papers (why pay, I guess he thinks) to the math tutor who tutors 2-3 or 4 people, one hour each--we wonder what she charges. Not a bad part-time gig. LOL. And there are always those studying the bible (got a seminary nearby), and students, lots pouring through science books. IT can be tricky to get a table with a plug sometimes but we usually manage.
No wifi unless one pays for it, too--I swear, the internet is so bad for writing! LOL.

Date: 2008-10-23 05:34 pm (UTC)I really don't need wifi to just write; as long as I have a good word processing program, I'm good to go. Which reminds me: my laptop doesn't have a good word proecessing program, just WordPad, boo. Well, I guess there's the old school way of pen and paper.
I know: excuses, excuses, LOL.
