Whattaya Know?

My brain has come back. *g* Been pretty out of it the last few days, and grumpy as hell, too. But today I remembered EVERYTHING I wanted to bring to work. Memory is an iffy thing with me, at best.

I have a good feeling about getting chapter 12 done by Friday.

Oh, and it's been an entire week without a drink. Not that I don't think of it EVERY DAY, but I don't get all freaky and have to try and not think about the whiskey bottle in the kitchen. That's nice. That bottle is LOUD.

Slow But Still Going

I've been outlining again, this time concentrating on emotions, cause you know how hard it is for me to connect with emotions of any kind, especially people I've made up. ;-) Just before dropping off last night I rooted around for a pen around the bed and made a couple of notes.

And I have to get chapter 12 done this week, or else. ;-)

While waiting for my computer to be returned to me this afternoon I put down some words, with a little more feeling than before. *g* The morning was totally busy in the office, but its really slacked off. Today I'm feeling really into the story and wanting to see it finished like, right now.

TIred Of This

BIG storm last night - we've had an awful lot of those. Lots of bright, loud lightning which of course woke me up about 11:00, and I noticed the power was out AGAIN. Then I couldn't go to sleep because of the sound and light show, and worrying about the alarm going off. Pewter snuggled up to me, I had to stop tossing and turning, and I got a couple (literally) hours of sleep. The alarm woke me up an hour early AGAIN, so I didn't realize for a half hour that the reason I was so tired was that I had gotten up at 4:00. The lights were still out when we left at 7:30.

Yesterday I got a little mean with Kelsey. I keep forgetting how they're feeling, and how more forcefully they would react to a situation than I would. It's hard for the Show No Feelings girl to make her characters react.

Long, Hot Weekend

I did some writing, but mostly it was too hot. I was especially stupid on Sunday, when I burned a large trash (downed wood) pile in 90+ degrees. Did I mention I'm stupid?

Hey, Remember Me? ;-)

Yeah, I'm a slacker. Work on the book has been so slow that I didn't really have much to talk about. I'm still working on it but it's damned slow and so very frustrating.

Parker and Kelsey are in chapter twelve, exhausted, without a plan and just about at their end. This is when they meet a couple of people and the story goes in a different direction. I don't know how well this will work, but I thought I'd give it a try. I always meant for them to meet these guys, but this part has always been kind of nebulous in my head.
