Hmm...

 Mood: Squirrel Baby

It occurs to me that for a pretty complain-y looking blog, I'm a pretty happy person. I mean the name and background are pretty deceiving based on what I post. Although I do think Sad Unicorn fits in perfectly.
I've been working through the block. I think I may have figured it out to where, at the very least, a reader will acknoledge that it is semi-plausible in a fiction world.

That was a lot of conditions. Oh well.
So, I've decided to start writing again this weekend. I don't feel up for it during the week, especially feeling so tired and sick lately. But at the same time I feel as though I shouldn't slack off. Then again, every writer needs a break, right?

See where Squirrel Baby comes in?

Plus, that friend I told you about? She will not stop badgering me about the book. And while I'm extremely flattered and excited that I've garnered such a response form a reader, she is driving me up the wall!!! When I first showed it to her, she gave me two weeks to finish it. May I remind you, I still had seven chapters to finish. So after I explained to her that that was, frankly, impossible she asked me when I thought it would be done.

I guess 'Before Thanksgiving' wasn't a suitable answer.

AHA! I Knew I was Awesome...

Yay I finished another chapter! That means I'm 6/15 done! Dude, let's celebrate!!


I figured out a new routine. Since I really want to write my other WIP, that's my reward. If I accomplish something with Being Evil, I'm allowed to work on that.

Ah yes my WIP. Well I don't really want to talk about it too much, but I am doing a lot of different things for this book. Firstly, I'm not outlining beforehand, which is big because I always outline. But I've also never finished a project, so fingers crossed no outline actually helps my ability to write. The book also features a very stubborn, kind of naive, childish young lady. She lives in a world full of magic and wonder, and all she wants to do is have fun and explore. But she doesn't have a husband, a point her aunt continues to make a fuss over. I'm really excited about it.

So yeah everyone it's a celebration! Woot! Only nine more chapters and Being Evil (1st draft) is done. Everyone knows that's the hard part...

For your enjoyment, this is an installment of my brain;

Of course you've already met my depressed unicorn. She controls...well nothing really. She just keeps me company when I'm sad. She's too sad to do anything else.

This is my baby squirrel. She is really not allowed to be in charge of anything, but seems to ignore me most of the time. Of course, anything she starts never gets finished...I have no idea where she gets it from.

And this is Kitty-Bear. Aww isn't he cute? He looks so shocked. How many people want to bet it's cuz of baby squirrel? But like I said, he's hibernating, and he's in charge of everything. He finally woke up long enough to help me finish that chapter, but that's about it.

Okay, bye people!

Sad Face

I've been so busy lately I've accomplished nothing! And I had a new *brilliant* flash of inspiration for a story, which isn't helping because every two seconds i think of how much BETTER the other book idea is. Even though it really isn't I have that spark that makes me think I can finish it in two days so It's a better investment. Or something like that. I sometimes have no idea what my brain is thinking. It's pretty much split into two sections, a hyperactive squirrel baby screaming about peanuts, and my sad unicorn. (Yeah, I have a sad unicorn. Jealous? Don't be she actually sucks...). Also, there's my big fluffy kitten-bear, but he's hibernating right now. Which is why I'm hacking around. He was the focused one...
