Stuff and Bother: The Next Generation
May. 26th, 2005 12:29 pmNote to self: rice pudding tastes very very weird. It's good, but I don't know if I'd get it again...and is that pepper they sprinkled on top of it?!??
-----------------------------
Okay, it's a SLOW day again, and no one's here to post or email me. HELP! :p
-----------------------------
I for one have to get writing again, dammit. I haven't written in a good few weeks, due to all the sudden planning of the wedding, a possible transfer to the left coast, and how I'd get all my stuff down here before the move. I wish I had time at work to do it, alas I don't, as I've been working through lunch.
On the other hand, I thought of a few ideas for a short story revolving around the world of one of my WIPs, The Children of Dun Corran. Oddly enough they came to me while looking through a few files here at work (I have to make sure the right side of the page gets scanned, y'know!! :p ) and stumbled upon a company called The Innkeepers. It's funny how a random phrase or a random image can set the gears in motion for a possible story. I love it when that happens.
As for the trilogy, YES, I'm still working on it, and NO, I still haven't finished it yet. I believe I'm very close to the end, but I seem to have lost direction. I need to reread book 3 at some point and see where I went wrong and try to fix it. If it means rewriting the whole damn thing, so be it. I did start pruning Book 1, but I haven't gotten too far with it...I may have to break out the red pens and do some surgery on the hard copy before I really work on it on the 'puter. We'll see what happens...
Oh, and it seems that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
emmalyon is going to help me come up with better titles for my stories--I've already admitted that most of my working titles are swiped from song titles, but others are just cool phrases to use until I come up with something better. I don't mind this at all, simply because I'd rather have a fitting title for it than a cool-sounding one. After all, it was Douglas Adams who came up with The Division Bell for Pink Floyd when they couldn't think of one... :)
-----------------------------------
Okay, I will admit to everyone else that the reason I haven't picked up many cds lately is because of the high prices down here. Honestly, Scotti's Record Shops probably have the best prices (and they have a tendency to sell new releases a week early...), but Newbury Comics is still the best at prices and selection. So I figure that when we're up for the weekend, we'll stop by the one in Amherst and I can buy to my heart's content...and I need to pick up Seventeen Seconds and Faith, dammit! :p

Back to work....
