Blahdi blah blah

Apr 09, 2010 20:34

Despite a nice dinner (Fresh & Easy cheese pizza doctored up with sausage, bacon, onions, and olives) and a glass (or two) of good wine, I am feeling strangely despondent. Phoo ( Read more... )

blah, brain is dying, writing

Do you even need to ask? YESYESYES to leftover cake, ALWAYS!

(gotta remember to stand over your left shoulder when I speak...)

Reading about your food is so wonderful. Wish I could be there tomorrow.

If the cheese sauce comes out well, I'll make it again when the whole gang can be here! :-)

Meow to poor wet (but clean!) kitty!

Danny?

and FB was messing up photos for me too

Danny Sullivan, newcomer to Matthew's school -- when I first conceived the story, he was just one of the kids, and Matthew was the main voice, but Danny took over. I finished it for NaNo purposes but I haven't done any re-reading or editing yet (and it needs it). Danny is, at this point, a sixteen-year-old magic Sensitive who sees Matthew and knows he's a mage, but doesn't know what to do with the information. Between making discoveries in the mountain caves and getting close to the first magickal family he's ever met, Danny starts to find himself. (Coming of age YA story.) I'm not really content with the rushed ending and it needs a lot of work, but I like the way it came out, and I like Danny.

Maybe I'll try again later.

sounds interesting. I remember you mentioning wanting to do this sort of story for nano.

ugh rushed endings, they're my bogeyman. I always feel like mine are rushed

wildrider April 10 2010, 04:57:48 UTC

Yep, I started it all fresh for Nano and scrapped the little bit I'd started from Matthew's POV. Danny gave me the chance to see the O'Connor family from the outside.

Of course you want to eat cake. And I'm sorry about your dragon. Blame it on lj for being screwed up so no one could see it to click on it.

wildrider April 10 2010, 04:42:33 UTC

It's good cake (queenofattiola rarely steers me wrong!)!

Maybe that's it. I can't catch any of the new eggs and there's no more auto-refresher dragon pages. *pout*

Hugs! Hopefully the weekend will clear away the blues! (skritches to the Small Blonde One, too!)
