Gahh...I wrote a climactic scene two months ago. Because I write out of order, I didn't need to use the scene right away. Now I've gotten to the point in the story where I need that scene but I
can't...
find...
it...
Is there an emoji for this emotion I'm experiencing?
Thanks! I hate mentioning this kind of stuff to people because things never seem to work out and I just feel silly.That's the other thing. We got on well enough, I don't know if I "like him" like him yet though. I never know those things until I've known the person for a while. My brain is weird. Anyway.
Good luck with your side of things too
Well. I sent out the first two queries/submissions packets for the novella.
Found a ridiculous typo in the opening line of the synopsis AFTER I'd sent the first one.
I'm sure it will be okay, but I feel more stupid than usual because of it. And I'm out of chocolate.
Aggy, didn't think this submission strategy through properly
Methinks the penguins may take offense at the definition of 'cute' when it comes to leopard seals..Awwww...that's so cute. Slightly disgusting, but cute.
Aren't leopard seals the ones where males can have bigger skulls and canines than icebears?
Why I stuff *every* random out of sequence scene into a file saved as 'Title Notes' and keep it forever. Even more, I hate writing a great scene first and then not being able to use it.
Date was good guys. Like, met at 6pm, drinks, then dinner, then change of venue, then coffee, then more drinks, then part at train station at 1130 good.
Not entire sure what happens next, or when to broach the whole 24 year old virgin thing, but I figure I'll take it as it comes, and enjoy myself in the meantime.
But yes. Much fun was had. And while I intended to be on my best behaviour, I was quite blunt and I may have ranted a bit, and he seemed to find it charmingly amusing rather than being put off by it all, so yay?!
*hugs Cantina*
Cobra, this might tickle your interests http://www.wired.com/2015/09/royal-jelly-isnt-makes-queen-bee-queen-bee/
I know! I quite startled the Mr by yelling 'Elizabeth!' at the screen the first time I saw this.
And since we're on the subject of dating, I've been spending a lot of time recently with a guy friend from trivia. We went biking on Sunday and really had a nice time. We share so many of the same interests and views it's kinda scary. He also gives fabulous hugs. I'm really starting to like him a lot. I just hope I'm not taking things the wrong way.
Morning Cantina.
Almost done revising SSFFSS story, and so ready to be done.
Morning, folks. Ever felt one idea of yours is a bit too cliché?
Also, random side-line - the reason this is so hard is that people are people, and you can't see in their brains. Unfortunately.
Word of advice. Never go back and read some of your first published works... I'm cringing.
Sounds like a winner.
If not, Ace and I will have a one-way conversation with him. Same with your beau, Sian.
And you can count on me signing up for the next SSFFSS.
What is going on in the background here? Are there three other racoons? Is that a Jabba-the-Hut-Racoon?
I actually enjoy reading my old stuff because it's a way to gauge how my writing skill is progressing. Just like looking at pictures from high school. That awkward skinny teen turned into a awkward skinny MAN, baby!
Actually, this is Habba-the-Hutton.
I've started doing some mapping, just so I can get things sorted in my head. Also been looking at a lot of castle floor plans since in the novel I actually have no sense of orientation about the castle setting. So I want to fix that. My grade 8 technical drawing class is coming in handy And I'm having loads of fun. I wish I knew how to make better maps, though. Mine look like chicken scratches for the most part.
