and on that note
I'd like to mention that I've actually--finally!--taken a step in what I feel is the right direction for me to actual write something. For my main three novels (In the Back of Her Notebook, The City of Experiments, and The Wandering Kingdom), I'm going to make Google Docs that pretty much hold all the information I have regarding each novel. I'm inviting people--people I respect, and, more importantly, trust--to read these documents and help me plan and probably edit as I actually start writing. I haven't done much so far, because I have no attention span, but at least it's a start.
I only have two people, sushimustwrite and zeenell joining me for the mayhem right now, and um. The combination of the three of us should be interesting? I don't know. It's actually been a while since I've really talked to Nell, which is weird even ignoring the fact that she's in Boston now. It makes me very sadface. But I am doing something about that! I guess. I don't know, am I very successful, bestest best friend? =/
I kind of want to invite EVERYONE I KNOW EVER to pop in on the docs, but I really can't do that. I know I babble about the novels a lot on here sometimes, but I don't talk about everything, just basics. And I have trust issues SO. Yeah. Don't be hurt if I don't ask you to help out? (I doubt anybody would be, but whatever.)
This is also making me debate whether I really want to do NaNoWriMo this year, but I'm not going to get into that right now. And I'll probably end up doing it anyway--I say every year that I'm not going to, and end up trying (and failing). This year I'm going to say I am going to do it, which will either have the effect of me not doing it, or actually winning it. Either way, I guess I win?
There are a lot of other things I'm going to be doing soon (and have already started doing, actually), but I'm not going to talk about them here. I feel like the more I talk about doing things, the less I actually get them done. And there are some things I really want to actually accomplish this time.
In short: I have not been a happy QS, but soon I will be!
