I keep telling myself I'll write...

But then I find something to distract myself with. Last night it was reading [livejournal.com profile] babb_chronicles and this morning it was teaching myself chords on the keyboard. Seriously, self--what the fuck? Stop saying that you're going to get something done and then go off and do something else entirely! It's a terrible habit, and I won't have you falling into it.

Oh damn, that keyboard's calling to me again.

Have I ever mentioned that I've always wanted to learn? Because I have. Since Chell hasn't been playing with it lately, I decided to use it. I taught myself the chords to Jewel's "Foolish Games" already, and played half of Yankee Doodle. Obviously I have not accomplished that much, but hey... it's a start, right?


Not that you guys really wanted to hear about my adventures with a keyboard... not of the musical variety, anyway.


Have I mentioned that I haven't slept in over 24 hours? Oh yeah, that might be why I'm so loony.

the novel(s)

Well, I finally posted the review to Tecolote on Amazon[dot]com. I still have to review The Angel and the Brown Eyed Boy.

I've managed to successfully put off writing anything for a few days, and I suddenly decided enough was enough. So now I'm working on it again--chapter two. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll make my goal of 150k, but who knows. Maybe I will! If I don't, I suppose I won't be too terribly upset.

My Mum has said that she will get the edited version of Be Happy, Idiot to me by March. I'm really hoping that I can get it sorted out by the end of March, and therefore be ready to see about a publisher soon after. Sure, it's the only book I have so far, but with what I'm working on already, I hope that I can convince someone that I'm awesome. :P

Damien is a wonderful character, by the way. He's loads of fun!

titles

So the past few days I've been agonizing over the name for the series. I've thrown out every single thing that's either been suggested or I've thought up. Eventually, when I mentioned it to Chellis, he told me I was being an idiot. So now I'm not going to worry myself over a title, whether for books or the series as a whole. It'll come to me when it comes, I suppose.

Every once in a while I need a kick on the butt to get going in the right direction again.

However, the goal for tonight is 3k. I want to make it past 10k. Sounds good, yeah? Well, hopefully I can make it.

{more written}

I wrote! Haha, I'm very glad I did, but in any case:

I wrote the ending to Chapter Three, Chellis and I started editing Chapter Three together, and I wrote a large hunk of Chapter Four.

In addition I worked on information on different species: Sprites, Vampires, Werewolves, and Shapeshifters. Yay!

[[background vs writing]]

well now, I got some work done: I finished all of the background work I needed to complete (I didn't start anything new, I just finished the already started). But still, I suppose I need to focus my efforts on actually writing.
