Okay, I've got some foam stuff as a gasket in the front case fan. It works! I can't hear it from the living room.
I know your face...
Is that why I'm so behind on wordcount....
Been awhile! How have you been?
I've had a few weeks of feeling completely inept and not much fun to boot.
It's very frustrating.
Doesn't help that I've been ridiculously homesick lately.
Sorry about the homesick part. The holidays are bummers that way.
Yeah...though this started awhile back. I think fall does it to me.
That and I've hit the year and a half mark since I've been back. And it's dark and rainy. And my story has really been stuck for the past two weeks, so I'm writing garbage when I really like the little thing and want it to work.
My story is starting to take off. They're on the trail hiking, finally, so I get to explore MC's impressions of physical discomfort. Heh. he's not happy. But it's still just a dumb narrative. not much craft in it. But that can wait until editing.
In the very center of my story, I have a situation wherein one of the main characters is killed in a fire, and another character - his wife, who was partially responsible - disappears. And I still don't have a motivation for her to go along with the fire, except that she's not a good person. And above all, I don't have a reason for anyone to rescue her so that she's able to get away. Every possible solution has a reason why it wouldn't work.
I've been writing around that big mystery from almost the beginning, and I can't write around it anymore. It needs a solution. And the harder I try to think of one, the more elusive it gets.
Now I'm in a better place ... working with my main heroine and a lot of dialogue.
Hope to get rid of those durn stars tonight!
*sigh*
Yeah, I want to. Dunno if it'll make matters better or worse. And I have to buy tickets to my brother's wedding in January, too.
Yeah...still wayyyyy too far for easy driving in the winter in a car that needs work. Especially as I don't have all that many days saved up.
No - don't plan to drive once there. A car will just be a nuisance. And the way down there goes through some areas that may well be really nasty that time of year. Not my idea of fun.
Driving there doesn't make sense when flying is as cheap as it is. It's just an expense, that's all.
**refrains from posting what he really wants to***
Some things never change.
I have another Bored meeting tomorrow...
