Tired Stuff
July 23rd, 2009
Been a few days since my last post- lots of having to work for the next week. We’ve lost some employees to this other place (if it was closer I’d go to) and then someone got hurt today (they’re alright) so there aren’t really enough of us to go around. I’m a little worried about that because coming up soon my sister and I both need two specific days off and they’re only going to have one worker, a minor (time restrictions) who doesn’t always do the greatest job. I’ve already told them, I’m not missing this event. It’s just not happening and then after that is my one year wedding anniversary and I’ll be damned if I miss that. They do not want me to have to come in for these days, I will not be a very nice little spirit- not especially when I requested my days off three months in advance.
*growls*
All of that junk aside the writing world is treating me kindly. I’m not referring to the parts outside my head, like publishing, editing, and such, but the one inside my head. I’ve written three whole outlines for brand new story ideas, completely flushed out and ready to come to life as soon as I breath it into them.
One of the ideas my sister and I are thinking about turning into a manga just for the hell of it, that and it just has a certain feel to it. I can’t explain it but it’s something I’d much rather read in a visual, comic sense than in print. Another story I fleshed out only hours later is definitely something I have to write, it’s… I don’t know the word- that’s probably a bad sign as a writer but who cares. It just falls beyond description.
My novel ‘Kat’s Tail’ was much the same, I just had this feeling of utter urgency that I couldn’t ignore. It’s like the story writes itself before I even have time to put the plot together in the front of my mind. Beautiful. Truly.
By the way, while I’m on the subject I’d just like to state for the record that I now hate editing almost as much as I hate math. Almost. *sigh*
I’m very tired, nothing inspirational to say tonight. Love and peace, friends.
[PS, I know I haven't replied to some of your comments yet or visited blogs lately. Give me some time. *wink*]
When I was your age (man that makes me sound old!) I really hated editing but now I kind of enjoy it :)
Don’t work too hard! On any of it *grin*
I enjoy the ‘concept’ because it sounds easy ‘inside’ my head but as far as putting it into practice… Well, I suck. :D Mayhaps I’ll have to come to you for some editing pointers because I could sure use some.
