Haha thanks guys! I'm running on 1 hour of sleep and I'm on my 4th cup of coffee.

Also, I probably wrote that 10.1K in a total of 11 or 12 hours and not during the 16 hours that just passed since I started writing. All I know is that I slept for 1 hour, got distracted by FB for 1 hour, planned for 1 hour, just now I took another hour trying to sleep but failed/getting distractions out of the way, and I'm guessing all my breaks I took periodically amounted to another hour. 10K in 11-12 hours isn't bad at all. YAY!

Okie, gotta start writing again.

I'll be back during another break! :D

I've found Stephan and Isaac's couple theme tune -- "Stuck With Each Other" by Shontelle feat. Akon. It's been in my last.fm library for ages, but I'm going to buy it now.

I don't think I've written a bike in 10-12 years. Wow...

I wonder if I still know how to ride a bike! hah

But yeah, break time right now. 2 minutes left. And I was able to write another 570 words in 15 minutes. WOOT WOOT! :D

My angel novel is so different. I don't think researching angels will help because it's hardly based off any myths. Ah well. Maybe that's bad, maybe that makes it unique. I guess a future agent may tell me. And I really really really want to query by summer! :D

I went with "terrifying psychopath" as my type of angel. :tongue

Just started a free trial of Love Film. Any suggestions for films to check out? I'm into rom coms, comedies, fantasy, sci fi and musicals.

They do not have to be inspiring, but if they are, include them!

Well at first I hadn't really used many angels and fallen angels, but now that I've got more coming in to the picture I feel like I may need to a little more lol

I've already added Gnomeo and Juliet, and Love and Other Drugs to my rental list. They say the service is best if you add at least ten. :)

ETA: They have Gay/Lesbian as a genre. *goes to browse*

If these movies inspire me and the service is good, I may well continue using Love Film for inspiring films and films I've wanted to see, but haven't.

I'm so inspired by you, Karla!
I like watching movies but these days I have so little time for it. What I like to do in lieu of watching the actual movie is look at stills of the film. There's a live journal community called film_stills which is an amazing film stills resource. I've never been able to find he movie Pleasantville since renting it a few years ago, but looking at the stills every once in a while brings back my love for the movie. So stunning :)

Haha thanks lvae! :D

Ohhh man. I can't stop getting distracted. I'm just 5.1K away from my goal. Though, I'll be happy stopping at barely 12K written within 18 hours.

Hopefully going to rent Beauty and the Beast (Disney version, but I might also look for other versions).
