Hm, my water appears to be shut off. Wish I'd noticed that before I went to the bathroom. *feels unclean* ETA: Neighbor says the laundry room flooded. Lovely.

Anyway, not much else to report today. I'm behind on The Daily Show and Grimm, so, I'm gonna fix that. I'm finally going to watch Ed Wood, which Netflix sent. Yup. Totally going to do

Curse my inability to write scenes out of order.

I write everything out of order. I like to pretend it's because I'm emulating the way movies are shot and everything, but mostly it's just because I get bored if I can't do the parts I want right away.

The only time I've had trouble with characters intruding is when they're OCs, and I rein those in pretty hard for fear of them seeing self-inserty or Mary Sue or something.

I like the look of that 30 day meme thing, do you have a copy of the whole thing somewhere?

[lotus0kid]

Yeah, I don't know why I need to plod in a straight line from the beginning to the end, usually without even scribbling down something so I don't forget it. It's just the way I work

So did your water get turned back on, finally?

Well, everyone's got their own process, and in the end it's whatever gets something finished, right?

*laughs* I just really love coming up with OCs. Names, backgounds, motivations, vocal patterns, it's so much fun for me, even if I never use half of it. Which means I should probably just write original fiction or something, but coming up with my own plots is the thing I hate most in the world, so...that won't be happening.

Also, a quick google reveals:

4. Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?

[lotus0kid]

Yeah, but it took quite a while. I started getting worried how I was going to brush my teeth.

Exactly.

That's very cool. It's been so long for me and my OCs have such limited capacity... I don't think I really made an effort with any of them except for Harvey in Rescue Me.

Well FINE, if you're gonna be all not lazy about it. Eh, I wouldn't say I have a "muse" character anyway. Maybe Claude.

hope your water is back on by now.

[lotus0kid]

Ah, well, it was, but now it's off again. Guess they're still fixing the laundry room. Yay.
