Wrapping up a day of doing nothing with... more nothing. Well, I did finally write the scene I've been avoiding all week. And somehow I feel like watching Sherlock should count as being productive when it's so fantastic. ( The Reichenbach Fall spoilers )

It turns out that a girl I've known for two years, though so far she's basically been a friend of a friend, is my cousin. I mentioned how I went to see my family in the center of the island this week, and she said, "My family is from there." Then I told her my mother's surname and it turns out that's her mother's surname. So we called our families ( Read more... )

And for extra fun (and partly because of), I'm ( Read more... )

I read an odd thing once in a writing manual. It was something about needing to let your characters be wrong once in a while. No need to worry about that on my part.
