Oh, I'm rocking the AC, that's for sure. It's roughly 75 degrees in my apartment right now, and I'm curled up on the couch under a blanket, watching a movie. Better 90 degrees than 120?
^Haha, yeah. That's a good way to put it! ^Really? That'd be great. I just don't want to lose the sun. Our winter was more than I could bear....brrr....
I've been writing a short story idea of mine, and it's coming out slower and slower. I always worry about whether what I'm saying is exactly right... I hate the whole mind-to-paper translation, because I always feel like I never said what I wanted to say right.
No thank you. 75 is perfect, I'll stick with that! I hate that, too. I always try to just get it all out when I'm first writing, but I always get hung up when I can't get something out the right way the first time...
And then I go back and correct what I have like a million times, and then it feels like I've been wasting time, and.... ugh.
Me too. Drives me nuts! I always tell myself I'm going to write out the whole thing, then go back and edit, but then every time I'm working on it, I find myself going back and editing what I already have before I go on to something new...
So I'm just plunging ahead and writing, and I'll worry about it when I edit. Easier said than done, though....
It really is...I'm trying to do the same thing, though. I just wrote a sentence that is kind of driving me nuts, but I'm taking a little break from it, then going back and continuing on without editing it. So...hard...
I'm writing this scene with two characters talking on the beach. It's a dark cloudy day, and it's just about to rain, but I'm having trouble phrasing that.... "The sky opened up above them" seems far too trite and overused. It starts pouring out of nowhere in the story, and I can't phrase that.
^Excellent suggestion. So......back when I went to church, I was a Sunday school teacher for the 3-4 year olds. One of the kids I taught had an older sister who would come in and hang out with us sometimes. I'm friends with their way older sister on Facebook, and recently, the younger sister (the one who hung out with me and my class) also added me. Now she's sending me tons of friend suggestions for people we used to go to church with. I'm like dude.....you're thirteen, so really, I probably shouldn't even have you on my FB with all the shit that I post, let alone go around adding like everyone I used to go to church with. Bad idea. But on a couple happier notes, I just hit 17k words in my novel, and I just booked my plane tickets for the roller derby nationals in November.
Another insomniac-related incident of me being up at 630 in the morning. Ew. thinking I'll use it as an opportunity to hit 22k.
There's nothing wrong with being up at 6 in the morning (I get up around 4-5 AM)...unless you weren't able to go to sleep prior to that, which is not a good thing.
I've had a good nights SLEEP! To anyone confused: I've recently had an operation on my leg, and because of the unbelievable about of pain I'm in during the night I've not had much sleep lately. Well, almost no sleep at all really.
^Hey, you guys Up early to go to a family reunion. Excited cause it's on a lake and stuff! You guys doing anything momentous today?? Oh, and I have tomorrow off too! I haven't had a weekend off in months.
Watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the movie in 3D where they have to rescue Jabba's son. It's...okay. Not the best thing ever, but it's entertaining to watch.
