omg guys. One of my fics is spread over four (!!) notebooks. Trying to consolidate it all is so annoying right now. ;;_;; Especially since I didn’t write it in order so the scenes are all over the place.
I don’t even have an outline. Delaying this for so long was probably one of my not-so-bright ideas. |||orz
…I’d almost forgotten what it was like to proofread/edit a +500-word story. :C
The day before, I blew off RP and got back to them yesterday. The tags I wrote yesterday were pretty awesome! Then, today, I wrote horrible tags.
…Does this say something about my writing habits or did both tags take a small nosedive when it came to my characters responding? …I really don’t think it’s the latter. :|
…This makes me sad. :(
lol guys, I just opened my “New Post” window to make a new round robin post…and then stared at it for liek ten minutes. Clearly all my writing brain-juice has all gotten sucked into RP (…which is actually kinda sad because I have little to no brainpower for RP these days even so). :’( Maybe I can think of a good idea later. orz
I’ve just been reading this thread about Japanese->English romanizations, and the subject of Yagami Light came up…
…Yeah, I’m sure you can imagine. :|
There’s all this balh blah blah about how “Light” or “Raito” or “Write” is the correct spelling, and guys. There are these things called puns. Japanese authors do it on purpose. English is not the only godsdamn language in the fucking universe that engages in wordplay.

So I quote Lewis Carrol in my story (“Curioser and curiouser”) and this chick writes to me that I should reword that because ‘curioser’ isn’t a word. But you know, I wrote that my character is quoting it (“‘Curioser and curioser,’ Serin quoted an ancient book”), so yeah, I can tell you didn’t actually read it. :|
Despite being adamant about not submitting something old to be Workshopped for Creative Writing, I just don’t want to write right now. asdfjl;
ETA: Okay, I need a name for this chick before I go on. It’ll be too much hassle to replace all the names later. ‘Serin?’ ‘Tsubasa”s out, as is the very obvious ‘Suzaku’. I’m tempted to use ‘Minami’, but I am wary of defining an ethnicity. So ‘Sur’ is out, too.
…Okay I will just use Serin.
ETA2: Wow. Just wow. Printer is printing blank pages. This, of course, has to happen when I need 18 copies of a 5 page story tomorrow morning. Wow. Life just loves me, it’s just fucking tangible, you know. Tangible as in my fist really hurts and my floor has a permanent dent in it. You can just feel the love. This is just goddamn ace. THANK YOU LIFE, THANK YOU FOR FOILING EVERY SINGLE GODSBEDAMNED ATTEMPT TO THWART MY WRITING. WHO PUT YOU UP TO THIS, MY MOTHER? MY GODSFUCKING CHINESE ANCESTORS WHO WANT ME TO BE A COCKSUCKING LAWYER? YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK YOU FUCK YOU AND YOUR MOTHERFUCKING COCKSUCKING PUSSYKILLING BITCH
ETA3: …I lost it. Despite the gazillions of times I saved, the file only shows up to 1 1/2 pages of what I actually wrote, which was 4 pages. The rest is just gone. And I know I saved the completed version because I hit cmd+S gazillions of times after attempting to print.
…
…
/brb dying of laughter.
ETA4: ….Kay, never mind. It was in the wrong place. /slits wrists
I am so tired. I may not be able to make that rp deadline. :( If it was just a nice thing, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but I had been planning a semi-plotty thing if I got it. :( Maybe I can still get it done later, idk. I’m just so tired. I can’t brain. Even looking at words makes me sad. ;;;_;;;
ETA: Heeheehee. If I can get the entire draft done today, I can look over it tommorrow and (barely) be on time. C:
ETA2: The problem is when I get stuck, like now. |||OTL My draft falls down on this and now I…idek. @_@
ETA3: ~BREATHES A HUGE EPIC SIGH OF RELIEF~ Posted. Now I can chillax. It was especially nerve-wracking for me because it had to be in midnight PST, and seeing as how converting PST to EST utterly escapes me (is it three hours earlier or later?), I actually really had no idea when submissions would close. ;_; But no matter how it turns out, now I can chillax. I am going to dead my brain for a while. See ya when I get back! 8D
Ahhhh, that was a nice break from intense writing. Now I need to get back into it again:
.RP fic – 2000 words min. – due Oct. 31
.Creative Writing workshop assignment – 4 pgs min. – due Nov. 7 (I would prefer to be done by end of Oct/early Nov
.NaNoWriMo
.misc yet-to-be-announced writing assignments
FULL SPEED AHEAD!! ~epic battle music~
…fuck. I thought I’d have to add things, and then I find I’m 186 words over the max word count for this assignment. ;_; And my sentences are already so sparse and disjointed and…sparse! This makes me unhappy. ;_;
And I still have yet to do the poem. Which I should have done first, what with the poem being the basis, but I am made of utter fail when it comes to poetry. >[ Also, 80 words. I have liek 30 so far. Which is kinda ironic IDEK GUYS
ETA: …OK fuck the poem and my overlong word count. Mele, Rio I’M COMING GUYSSS~~ :DDDDDD ~gets kicked in the face~ This fic is nearly done, I just need to pad out one or two of the scenes. I’m just kinda having trouble with Mele in the bath because I just stuck it in there as something for her to do. So this part is pretty bare-bones but I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE TO PUT IN IT. ;;_;; And I can’t help feeling like the breakfast scene is a bit odd. -_- Do I usually take such care in my other fics? The answer is a big fat “no”, but this is one of those where, instead of a scene first, I came up with the structure, and was just filling things in, hence why I talk about padding some scenes (as opposed to just leaving it if, transitionally, the rhythm is right). So yea idek. @_@
ETA2: …I just typed out what I had for a poem (I’d written some lines in my notebook some days ago). I actually have 72 words.
…
8D
Also I used odd formatting FUCK YEAH. Since I’m not, y’know, using any sentences or anything. ddd
I just typed “touchs” (as in, “responding to gentle touches” I’m writing about a piano. A PIANO) and couldn’t immediately figure out why it had a red squiggle line under it.
DDx
sarah, I posted our most recent round robin to eljay. Hope you don’t mind. m(_ _)m
so I went and read some of my old pieces…
gods, I hate myself. ~bawls~ Why would I write this? Wry? Why would I keep revisiting/writing their deaths in a thousand trillion itinerations wryyyyyyyyyyyyy bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
btw, guess who has 89 more fics to go in fanfic100? ♥ ~shoots self in brain~ :D
Need something to keep me entertained while I’m taking writing breaks. Flair gets really old, really fast. And iconning takes up too much attention to do on a break. bwooooooooooooooooooooo =A=
Most of the things in my writing folder are liek trash. I should make a folder for stuff I haven’t abandoned by now. ._. ;
ETA: My new “Stuff I’m Still Working On” folder is depressingly small. ;_;
There’s also stuff I like but which I doubt I’d/I’ll continue. Most are really unfinished, though, so it’s not like I can post them as their own fics… ~headtilt~
