Bad subconscious, no biscuit.
I’ve been procrastinating about writing. I thought it was because I was stressed about car repairs and the like, but no. I think I just didn’t want to write Chapter Four. Well, I went ahead and started it, and it wasn’t so bad while I was writing it,...I hate to jinx things, but…
Lizardfic is a lot easier to write the second time around. Okay, chapter one had its hard parts, but that was because it was chapter one, and because I need violence enablers. (I really, really need violence enablers.) Chapter two is my friend so far. Maybe it’s...*hardens heart*
The hurricane story is a short story, not a novel. Scenes that aren’t about the sisters probably need to go. *wibbles lower lip, throws some cut scenes into a separate file* Highest word count: 11,000 words. Current word count: 6348 words....Holy hand grenades, Batman!

I’m getting lots of things done today. I just don’t have any new prose to show for it. Critiques! Edits on the hurricane story. I’m pondering the outline for the new improved Lizardfic. The outlining in particular feels productive. I’m pretty...Nerd stuff.
I was having this problem. Moving the mt-static directory to the top level of my webspace fixed it. If you’re getting a funky error on the comment page about whether you’re logged in or not, log out and log back in. In other news, I’m using this...Wow. My outline sucks.
I’m rereading Lizardfic and the outline materials associated with it, because I’ve been thinking that it may be time to work on this one again. You may or may not recall that this was the short story that turned into a novel that turned into me rewriting...Subscribe
