Well it's rainy and cold and 3am.

And my brain is bringing out all my unfinished stories and waving them around with new plot threads and interweavings and oh yeah what about this and that and you could say this and remember writing that and....

I have no computer, my hand is no longer fast enough for my brain and I can't really focus on any one ( Read more... )

Well, mostly. The incident was reported to DHS, by the director who downplayed it. Should it require an interview I will give the circumstances as they happened, as long as I can do so without it sounding like excuses. I was the last one on the playground, and I didn't check for hiding children.

I think I'm trying to introduce too many characters at once too early in the story... and I can't seem to get them solid in my head.

Well... I began the process of creating a character index for my novel. I'm going to have to make some sort of cross-referencing thing though because plain lists aren't going to work. But they are better than nothing. At least I finally have everybody's names in one place ( Read more... )

Seriously. I need to stop buying books ( Read more... )
