The Serpent Is Rising
Jan. 20th, 2007 05:08 pmHave to post early today, since the Cult of Pain meeting is tonight. At our house, too. Nicole, despite being sick, did a fantastic job of cleaning up at least the living room yesterday, even with our vacuum apparently dying. (We're not sure, but we may have bought it just over a year ago. What kind of warranty period did we have, I wonder?)
The writing exercise we'd agreed on last month was to write the beginning of a novel that we've been putting off starting. This is a bit of a problem for me, because quite frankly all of the novels that are on the back burner already have beginnings. It's just the rest of it that they don't have. (And, of course, the NaNoWriMo "rule" of starting fresh has kept me from going further with any of them so far.)
Finally I decided to work on one called "Windwalker". "Windwalker" was a novelette that I wrote years 'n' years ago and was informed was the first part of a novel. At some point I did write the beginning of the first scene of that novel...but I can't find it now, so I get to write it over again.
Who knows if I'll keep up with it. After all, I still haven't finished Bleen, my NaNoWriMo novel from 2006. Nor have I done any writing to speak of, apart from writing exercises, since the end of November. This is pretty much standard behaviour for me. I should maybe reread the "Windwalker" novelette, because skimming over it to try to remember some character names, I found more than I remembered in it.
All this writing is keeping me away from my Sims, though. All the Simming I've done in the past two days has been with the Twip family for Luke. (Query: Why are there no starting homes costing less than 20,000 Simoleans, available on the Lot Exchange? I hate building my own. Grump.)
