So, ages ago I mentioned on this blog that I wrote about 40 notebook pages out in two days. No biggie. I mean, there was some serious hand-cramping, but no biggie. The 'biggie' is that I still haven't finished it yet, because I decided it needs more than an addendum, but an entire other chapter tacked on at the beginning and it's DRIVING ME NUTS.
ESPECIALLY because I'm SOOOO about the allusions and just HAVE to intertwine it with the Grimms' Fairy Tales (specifically), though I'll probably put it in English instead of the German, which means I have to translate, which means I have to be so fucking careful, even if it is children's level.
There is, perhaps, too much going on right now for me to be angsting over my writerly problems, but seriously. Seriously.
Last night there was a series of severe thunderstorms here, and holy shit. Tornados in the city...people's swingsets blown up by lightning...waking up at three different times during the night because the thunder is causing the house to shake...I don't really recall having such bad storms since I was a kid. Crazy times. But it has made me tired. (Granted, having a couple Long Island Iced Teas probably didn't help with that.)
But I'm going to work on the "HAHA ISN'T THIS AWESOME I'M MAKING ALLUSIONS TO GERMAN LITERATURE THAT REALLY BELONGS TO THE EUROPEAN ORAL TRADITION" story anyway.
Late-uhs.
