You look like Spring, you look like a very young Spring! Spring that is about to become Spring!
Oy. I apologize for being away from LJ for so long (if anyone is reading.) The stuff with my car just got complicated enough that I didn't think about doing extra stuff like update my online journal? hahaha
It's still kind of complicated, but it's slowing down. I'm basically just looking for another car now, and hoping I don't wrack up the rental car price too severely since the other driver's insurance company, well, is trying to break their promise to reimburse after repeatedly promising such and encouraging me to get the rental. My mom is working on it since she's the policy holder and they weren't being straight with me. She's pissssssed. I try to remember that stress is an optional state of mind that will not alter how a problem is resolved. I read that somewhere and it just clicked. Besides, I have to pick a car I really believe in and like, you know? I can't be rushed. I'm so so so so SO lucky that the most I can be is pissed about paying for the rental, because a lot of people right now wouldn't have the finances for it. Ever since I switched positions at work, the money has continued to stack into my bank account, for whatever I end up needing it for.
But yes, it's been a lot of calling people and craigslisting and going out to car lots by myself when I'm not at work, and then in the mornings or sometimes afternoons I get myself to sit down and try to work on writing. I know that I can't afford to lose focus. Every single day I think about what's going on with the rewrite.
In fact, because of how often chapter 10 has been shifting, and how exciting these events are in terms of how they set the foundation for their codependency, and how adamant I am about getting it right, I'm even having semi-delirious DREAMS about it! I fall asleep with the laptop on my, well, lap and drift away, thinking I'm still writing it. I wake up in the morning having dreamed of a scene that had been interjected with car-related problems. "Erik" was having an important conversation with Lily and right in the middle of it, he was like "let's go sit in that '97 corolla Jennifer was looking at. She needs a second opinion about it." It seriously happened. XDDD
Um, anyway, yes, it's going very well. Some time in the next million years, it could be finished, but in the mean time it's going well at the slowest pace possible. I wrote a pretty creepy scene yesterday. I also switched a few things over to chapter 11, so without even getting to it yet, that chapter is plumping up and brimming with stuff I can flesh out and connect once CH10 is done.
Is there anything else worth mentioning? Nah... I'm not doing Script Frenzy this month. It's already been a quarter of a year. Sierra is cleansing all her crystals and posting it on instagram. lol That woman is pretty damn witchy - I was not expecting it! She could get along with Giry, that's for sure. Well, that'll do it.
Behave,
