Brief post before I go to bed. Don't be discouraged; if you haven't read the last couple of posts, scroll down. Heady stuff for girls and boys alike, yessir.

I was doing so well with the story last week, and now I find I'm barely able to write a word that doesn't get violently scratched out two seconds later. Eventually I got a page down on the legal pad (with just as much writing preceding it, but looking like the page had been ruled after I wrote it, owing to the strikethrough effect of my disapproval), but could write no more, so I just typed what I've got into the word processor so far. 1,400 words, bah. Not much, but I'd planned on this being a really short story, so that means I should probably be wrapping it up soon. But it seems like the action has barely started, so that's a problem. And I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping it from being unconfusing with the tenses, since it describes past actions that were repeated often and I don't want a lot of "would"s and "would then"s all over the place. Hopefully I'll finish it tomorrow, maybe Tuesday, and get the kinks worked out. (more...)

Well, I didn't want to do this post. I promised myself that I'd finish my current story before returning to the blog. Well, hopefully I won't go on for too long, but you know how that often ends... (more...)

So I've added a few links to other blogs on the sidebar (apparently the archive link purports to be able to see into the future -- don't believe the hype), as well as the link to my main site, Scary-Crayon (if you click them, they'll open in new browser windows). There's nothing there yet except a wicked cool splash page, but I should have content uploaded next week or so -- plenty of articles have been written, and I've taken the requisite photos for plenty more, so hold tight; content should be forthcoming. It's going to be great, JUST YOU WAIT! (more...)
