Having Trouble Sleeping
...I really miss having my daytimes not be sleeptimes. I should be asleep right now, in fact, but for some reason sleep is alluding me. RAWR, it is sleeptimes!!!
In other slightly-related news, apparently I am to know whether or not I get to keep this job after inventory, and definitely by the 20th. So, that would be sometime between Thursday night and Sunday (which for some reason I have a day shift in the middle of nightshifts - perhaps they are trying to destroy me?). If I keep it, the first thing I'm going to do is consolidate my loans and my bills; at the rate things are going, I'm never going to be able to save any money up for moving and whatever, and no way I will be able to pay back what money I borrowed those six months I didn't really have work but for a scant few days teaching. BAH , credit card companies.
In other unrelated news: WOO writing! Although I did end up writing a timeline/outline instead of Boomer's backstory, it's a good thing to keep things in order. Not to mention that I needed to know the parallels between the three characters since, up until chapter 11, they aren't even all in the same place yet! I figured it would be important to make the timeline before I tried to write Boomer's little journal, since I need to make sure that all that happens with Ethan and Madison collide with all that happens to him at the right time, and in the right place. It's also important that I make sure that the story takes place, in its majority, within the 3 weeks that the president has allotted for the survivors to get to Houston in. Very, very important that, especially since it was decided, awhile ago, that they were going to be cutting it really close with their arrival time at the Johnson Space Center. It seems that the deeper into the story I get on the outline, the more detailed the summaries become, but I guess that's all right? Also, I have an idea for a letter that Ethan writes later to be found, but that's something different altogether, and quite a bit depressing. Oh wells, I haven't even decided if it will be actually found yet, though it might make an interesting thing in the second part of this thing/novel/second novel part thing, the first ending at the Johnson Space Center, and the second starting after the events there. Yes. Two novels, considering that I am quite the unknown little bugger, and less words equals more, uh, marketable? I don't know, but 100,000 words seems to be the holy grail for some reason, according to research and talking to people. Whatever.
Also, I think that Fullmetal Alchemist is, at least so far, the only comic that can keep me wanting more, even after breezing through 46 pages of goodness in around 5 minutes. As I've stated a few times before, the story just keeps getting better and better the closer it gets to its conclusion (or so it seems to be getting there anyway).
Okay, tired tired tired time. Must try to sleep or face the DIRE CONSEQUENCES!
