While I was wanking off...er, recuperating
Mar. 9th, 2007 11:28 amI'm pretty sure I'm going to live, although I don't much look forward to spending eight hours on the phone. On the bright side, it's just today and tomorrow, and then I can recuperate some more.
Made a bit of progress on Seen and Unseen, actually read a couple pages of my f'list for the first time in weeks, and went into my docs folder and scanned a project I haven't touched since January 2005**. I keep thinking about it, and it was better than I remembered, but I don't think I can go back: it's a good deal more nuanced than what I'm used to writing these days, AND third person past tense, which I haven't used much at all in the last couple years. (Although, I DO have a chapter breakdown showing what I was going to do....)
Arrgh! *hides under desk* It's bad enough I have "Flying Towards Destiny" lurking about unfinished and haven't worked on it since Christmastime, at least. This earning-a-living nonsense takes up entirely too much time!
Off to have some chicken soup now....

It's called "Sweet Temptation", a fan-fic for the movie Chocolat, which I'd posted about 15K words for...and that was only about a third of the story...I couldn't see spending as much time on that as the original writer probably did on the screenplay (not to mention the novelist whose book it was based on) and lost momentum.
