It's 10:15am and I'm still in my jammies and bathrobe, kicking back and listening to music while enjoying my coffee. I really should get going, though. I have a few errands to take care of! In particular, I have four boxes full of books in the living room that need to be brought to the SF Library bookstore down at Fort Mason (this seems to be a quarterly thing for us now), and a box and a few bags of stuff to drop off at the Goodwill up the street from there. I'm also contemplating whether I should also make my originally planned trip over to Bed Bath & Beyond down in Daly City for various things. And yes, that last one depends on how lazy I am. Heh.
But other than that, I don't have much planned for today. I made myself leave the house yesterday for grocery shopping and a walk over to the Starbucks/bank for quarters and a holiday coffee. [Yes, I drank from an anti-Christmas holiday cup while walking through the wildly dangerous streets of San Francisco, surrounded by non-Christian heathens -- with money but no gun on my person, at that! So SUCK IT, REPUBLICANS. ;-) ] I don't have much else on the docket, though I'm sure I'm forgetting something as usual.
I'm nearly done with the initial note-taking of the Apartment Complex story -- that is, creating notecards for the plot points that I wrote for my daily words this past summer. And yes, a good chunk of that was done during a marathon session last night, because why the hell not? I just have a few more days' worth of entries to go through, and then I can start fleshing the main story out. This is where the fun begins -- coming up with completely new plot points that will pull this story together. Looking forward to that! I've also been thinking a bit about my original idea of writing this one longhand. At first I was a bit iffy about it, because my past longhand attempts were usually disjointed, far too directionless, and missing a lot of important story beats. But then I remembered, I'm approaching this story differently. I have a lot of it planned out already, so I'm not flailing. Which means the slower pace of longhand will help me find the pace of the story itself. Plus it'll get me out of Spare Oom so I'm not hiding in my nerdcave for months on end.
OKAY! Enough blathering and procrastinating. I got stuff to do!
