I did see it this morning! - Is it cool? It looks like an improvement over the small one! So what are you going to do with all this free time? Anything special?
To: HairOfTheDog
Sit here at the computer! I'm gonna surf for a long time! LOL I'm series. I cleaned this house all weekend and got it spotless because I thought the den meeting was here today...but nooooo...Steve emails me from work this morning saying "Not this monday...next Monday!" So the house is spotless, so I'm not obligated to really do anything. I'll take a nice long soak here in a while, maybe.
Hey, Steve got "officially" accepted into the Environmental Science masters program today. He's been taking the required classes, but wasn't really in the program till now. He's a third of the way done. We're both pretty tickled!

I'm going to start the movie.

LOL...yep!
To: 2Jedismom
Anyway I'm glad to hear that!
Sigh, I really need to pay more attention to my studies but I like where I am in my story right now. Some very cool characters today...

Hi, guys. Sorry for spouting off yesterday. My brothers just tick me off sometimes...they NEVER take me seriously and find anything *I* even hint at taking even *slightly* seriously to be a good way of poking fun at me, and sometimes that really bothers me. I guess that's always the way with family, though, with the exception of mothers, maybe. You don't get no respec' from brothers.
In any case, I'm back to the crap mill...up to about 17000 words, which puts me about 1300 behind, I think. But not bad.
Still nothing on the job front. Maybe tomorrow - a lot of places had today off, I know.
Tomorrow! We have NOTHING 24 hours here, except MAYBE gas stations, so tomorrow will be the earliest that the SE is available. My sister pre-ordered it, but since it didn't ship until Saturday, I have my doubts as to it actually arriving tomorrow. However, one of my younger brothers (Bilbo Bagpipes AKA the nice one) also wants to buy it. If I give him a ride to Wal-Mart, I might be able to talk him into watching it at my house first. Or at least letting me watch it with him! We'll see...
To: JenB
I have 6851 words of crap and hope to have almost 9000 tonight. A motely collection of scenes, characterization, and backstoyr....none dare call it a novel. :)
To: Overtaxed
I started to read it and then got distracted, which is part of the reason I've been hiding all day...;-) I need to finish. It's interesting reading so far...you have a very different style from the rest of us. Kinda poetic, in a completely un-elvish sort of way...
To: RosieCotton
Spouting off to us is the best thing to do! Makes you feel better just to get it off your chest. Take it from me! LOL
To: Overtaxed
um make that "backstory" my fingers have been dyslexic today which makes for some pretty sorry whistling!
To: JenB; Overtaxed
Who was it here that said the working title of their book was "Crap I Have Written"? Or was that in a movie I saw? (I bin watching wayyyy too many movies lately...)
To: ksen
Weren't you the same guy who said, when asked if he would go to a viewing of Two Towers if it was released on base before 12/18 and see it before the rest of us, "Heck yeah!"? but... that's different... isn't it?...
To: 2Jedismom
Makes you feel better just to get it off your chest. Take it from me! LOLTrue! Except...then I feel guilty for whining. Not that it stops me from doing it again the next day, as you have witnessed...
To: Overtaxed
I liked it! It was, as Rosie said, very different. A lot "fuzzier" than anyone else's if you have any idea what I mean. Kinda mystic. My writing is rather straightforward; even what I hide, I hide in plain sight. You... even if you had told us everything of importance it would seem like you're holding something back. Well started!

I'm better after revisions. I don't think I've really gotten into these characters yet (more characterization crap?)
I just don't have much of this stuff fleshed out yet, so I figure if I write the scenes, by the time I have 50000 words I'll actually know where the plot is.
