That Moment...

What's the manner?

 

Heh. Sometimes it's like that. I sometimes post a few things in one period. But sometimes it's actually very slow.

 

TMW:

Ever came up with a quote your character says that is either badass or profound, but you haven't the slightest clue where to put it in the book, or the context at all? That's what I'm having to deal with now. >:[

Here it is:

"The blind boy* WILL take a seat!" [the villain] snapped....
"No," [Amos] coldly replied. "The blind boy will continue standing up."

* The 'blind boy' in question being Amos himself.

 

tmw you think everything is done with the sh*t cart of a year at university and you find out there is a high chance you will need to go for a meeting and nobody thought to tell you you'd need to do this earlier than four days before you're supposed to be heading home.

i just want to be at home already

 

that moment when you get a reply from a lecture telling you that the meeting doesnt need to happen until you return in September, and that all i need to do in the mean time is fill in some forms and send them back stating my intentions....
*sighs with relief*

 

I've always called it finger-squeak. When I'm strumming acoustic, it's annoying. I want the chord changes to come across clean. There are times on electric that I'll use it to help break up the phrasing in a solo, though. Don Felder's soloing on "Hotel California", and Brian May's on "We Will Rock You", both feature it in that role -- it's a cool sound when not overdone.

 

TMW something interests you not in spite of, but because of, the possible consequences.

 

TMW the "junk emails" start rolling in. 2:00 pm-ish and 4:00 pm-ish for me.

 

TMW you realize that your lesbian MC is the Straight Man of her group.

 

Sounds like a beginning of a story really...

 

That moment when youn realise that quite possibly none of your characters are completely straight...

 

TMW you reinstall Sunset Overdrive on your Xbox one and are amazed at how you've been really wanting to play this game but you never knew it.

 

That moment when you reach for an original quote and miss.

 

So a Walmart apocalypse is worse than a zombie apocalypse? Max Brooks has to write World War W now.

 

It is in the works but I am having difficulty getting it out into words.

 

TMW you're pruning the mini-roses without gloves on and the dead rose bud you just grabbed hold of turns out to be a spider. I am still running around the patio in horror!

 

That moment when the chapter you're supposed to be outlining is so boring that you find yourself eating an ice cream purely as a way of procrastinating.

 

TMW you lay down in your bed to write on your iPad... only to drift off to a snooze.

 

And then he snnnnnnnzzzzzzz!

(Best chapter ever)

 

My characters love it when I fall asleep.

 

That's a great ending for a novel. "Just then, the author fell asleep. The End."

 

Depending on the scene, the characters might actually breathe a sigh of relief. Oooor be in perpetual despair.

 

TMW you are driving and wish you had a friend you could make your personal WarBoy, to hang out the window and
holler "Witness Me!!!", every time you pass some idiot who doesn't know how to drive. I would be thoroughly amused
and the other drivers confused. And I would have my own WarBoy if they wanted to start any shit.
