Another completely crap weekend, in which I did not manage to get dressed on Sunday, but I did manage to plot the book that I didn't want to plot, and also, I cleaned up most of the place, which has been something that needed doing for about a month and a half now. I cannot believe I got so behind on that, but there you go. On the bright side, I've been alternately sick/tired/depressed/home late that a month and a half of crap looked more like a week's worth, except in the sink, and even then nothing was alive in there, so that was a win. Still, I have never before managed to use all my spoons and then decided to eat ice cream with a fork, as washing the spoons was going to be a problem in that I did not want to do it.
I did minimal writing and no sewing, but I did decide that probably what I need to do with TDL is take out all of the heroin plot. Because there's nothing better, when you're 150K into a book, than taking out a major plot point. But it's not working for me, and I can't decide if it's working for the book.
Note to self: do not let books progress over major developmental points with you. Write it, THEN grow as a person.
Right now, I'm working on the "write it" portion of that statement. Still, I'm close to my original goal - the only problem with that is that I need another twenty k. So I'm taking it on vacation next week and maybe I can get a big chunk of that done. I'm still shooting for editing it the week of the winter break, right after Christmas, since no one interesting will be in town.
The upside is that it turns out that people really do think I have vampire teeth. I have pointy incisors, what can I tell you? I also have an enormous gap between my upper and lower teeth, and two people asked me this weekend if I was wearing those caps to look like I have fangs. The answer is no. These are my real teeth.
So that was fun.
And now, burning questions that I have, at least: how many books can I comment on, while fighting to retain a line and also taking yoga? If the answer is not "two, and a third one that you proof," then the world will end. QED.
And another burning question: WHEN will I have time to transcribe my rant on vampires? But the answer to that one is "next week", and I personally find that hilarious.
