Nov. 30th, 2009 12:56 pmIntimidating Thing:
Today I have to do a day and a half of writing. I'm sure I can--not so sure if the NaNo site won't be crashing when I attempt to load my status.
I kinda don't care, though. I've been writing this book when I wasn't sure I ever would. I think it's going to be a two-book deal, though, looking at word-count. I don't think I've meandered that much.
I mean, carrying a wounded comrade over a bridge just can't be cut, right?
Odd Thing:
sleep deprivation and Harry Potter go so well together.
I'm reading Goblet of Fire right now (HP is also great mood-setter for my Backlash Girls writing: enough unlike it just helps me feel in the right mood) which is strangely comfortable for after long nights of not-quite-sleeping.
I read Goblet of Fire for the first time after buying it in Narita Airport.
I had just delivered my exchange sister to her airplane after a bit of a trip to Kyoto & Osaka, and spent $30 on it, something ridiculous anyway. (It was just out that year.)
This was the return trip from nightmare-land, with wandering about Tokyo station (but not in it) for about two hours after 7:30, reading in the fairly bitter cold and slight rain, not wanting to stay in one place too long. (Don't ask me why, I was even more neurotic at 16.)
I didn't sleep very well on the night bus home, even after reading late, and once in my own bed slept until mid-day and finished the book while still in bed, feeling warm and befuddled.
One of the more memorable reading experiences I've had.
And also the power of drawing on hands...how can that be taken out?
~ Amusing Thing:
knowing which showings at the dingy little theatre across for the jewelry store are New Moon.
(Hint: THE ONES WITH PEOPLE AT THEM)
Ponds with wave-machine booby-traps are likewise too good to waste...
Off to make more words, wish me luck...
