I AM SO CLOSE TO BEING FINISHED I CAN TASTE IT - BUT THERE ARE ONLY SO MANY WAYS THAT I CAN DESCRIBE MERLIN LOOKING CONFUSED BEFORE EVEN I START TO FIND IT REPETATIVE. OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.

/freakout.

DHASKJDFH RE: MERLIN LOOKING CONFUSED. SAME. PROBLEM. I ACTUALLY LOOKED UP A SYNONYMS LIST BECAUSE I WAS AT SUCH A LOSS FOR WORDS AT SOME POINT.

...BUT IT HELPED. RHYZONE FTMFW.

RE: BEING CLOSE TO FINISHING. UGGGGGGH O___O *OOZES JEALOUSY*

*gloats*

It's nice being finished. On the other hand... copy-editing is a bitch XD

*HITS YOU UPSIDE DOWN THE HEAD*

SHUSH. HAVE COMPASSION FOR US PROCRASTINATORS. You could at least PRETEND to still be slaving away!

XD D'you have a title yet?

suaine June 22 2009, 18:25:18 UTC

Oh god, my title is so lame XD I decided to just shorten the working title to something ridiculous ("Deluge") although I think it would have been way cooler to go with my crazy beta's suggestion: "Rain of Terror"

derryere June 22 2009, 18:32:54 UTC

"Rain of Terror" HAHAHA! OH WOW. As a person who has 'penis' and continuous caps in her titles, I cannot disapprove of this.

I LIKE DELUGE THOUGH! I like short titles. I like long titles too. I LIKE TITLES IN GENERAL. You know what I usually do? I go through my bookcase and try to see if I can insert a word that has to do with my story into other titles. LIKE, if the subject were 'beetle', it'll be, like, 'Every beetle is illuminated', or 'Beetles Behaving Badly', or 'Oh the Beetle of it All', or 'The Long Beetle Down', or, 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Beetle.' USUALLY DOES WONDERS TO MY INSPIRATION. And also, it's funny. Always a plus!

I can't brng myself to finish, I keep saying write but I don't listen to me. WOE! I must finish... not that much to go.

*stares at open Word files*

WRITE DAMN YOU, WRITE!

suaine June 22 2009, 18:07:35 UTC

Hey, maybe we can help! Do you need something? Is there something in particular that seems to be stopping you?

definewisdom June 22 2009, 18:41:11 UTC

I don't know why I'm ntot writing. I just keep procrastinating and I can't get into a flow. >.<

Aargh! Where is inspiration when you need it?

suaine June 22 2009, 18:43:44 UTC

Hmm, okay, so if it's inspiration that's troubling you, Write-or-die will probably not help, but it's worth a try.

Can you talk about the last scene, or the situation you left your characters in last time you wrote something?
