Whinge, whine, storystorystory
Blah. I am so damn sick of Surrey, I am telling you. I'm sick of no public transport, I'm sick of being stuck in this same damn house, and I am so sick of seeing the same people day in, day out. The most interaction I have that isn't with le parents is interactions with the woman in the bakery at the top of the road. I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I have an interview for a temping spot and it will give me an actual conversation with a stranger. It's a change and god, do I need one.
I feel itchy-footed, really. I want be somewhere, doing something; I don't really mind what. Le parents are going back to Verona on Thursday, and I'm really pleased for them, I really am; Mum needs the sunshine and the rest and Dad just needs the rest. But I wish I was going. I'm so tired of these four walls.
Enough of the self-pity, anyway. My NaNo has sort of fizzled out, not because I don't want to write the story anymore, but because I abruptly had some inspiration and wrote a chapter-and-a-half of A and W. Since I so rarely make any progress with it, I felt I should sacrifice NaNo for the sake of Lian and Thorn's continued survival. So, yeah-- they're surviving. Which is great. Extracts for those of you who know who they are at some point.
Hope everyone's NaNos etc. are going well:
nightsgift's is fab: I love his character who is the chosen one of a goddess of curiosity, who tries to greet decisions that will change people's lives with... balloons and streamers. He's the awesome. He reminded me rather a lot of a slightly more mental, rather less people-interested version of sophonica's Soren, who, anyone who's heard me talking about him, will know I adore.
I suspect James is most often interested in people for the fascinating discoveries they can provide for him (though I don't mean I think he's uncaring, I think he's fond of people but gets distracted by the scientific progression they can provide). Does that sound vaguely right,
nightsgift?
