And now the bad guys have just killed my MC's girlfriend's dad and are at the MC's house, coming after him and his girlfriend. :) It's getting good.

I would, but it's currently 1:30 in the morning and I'm supposed to be asleep, but I'm currently watching "Hawking" on YouTube. #ILoveBenedict #Obsession

I probably did, knowing me. I can do things like that. Quite often, which can be a bad thing, and get me into awkward situations like this.

I've got a question. If you have a character in a story who is said to be a descendant of a real life person, can a writer legally get in trouble if that real life person has actually living descendants in the real world? Or should I just create a character based off of that real life person?

Hmmm. I have no idea.

It's not libellous unless you're saying something bad specifically about a living person. But it might be in poor taste. Depends what you're writing.

The man was found guilty for murdering several people who was supposedly possessed by a supernatural spirit, so I'll just create a character based off of him. Just in case. Thanks!

Hi, guys. I left my computer on last night. Oops.

I'm going to do my essay for a couple of hours and then watch Birdsong and then maybe going to bed.

I'm trying to see how something would fit in my essay, but I'm stuck.

My computer is soooo slow. It's driving me insane.

I can't seem to write the first chapter of my WIP. I guess I'll just leave it for now...
