Random Ramblings

November was a hectic month, and December isn't going to be any better, unfortunately. But I'm going on vacation twice! The first trip starts Thursday; I'll be heading to Switzerland/France for a few days. And then later is the holidays and visiting family.

On the writing front, the first half of November I was full of ideas for Spliced - the boys wouldn't shut up honestly - and now that NaNo is over, they've gone all quiet. Sigh, typical.

I started Part 4 but only got a few hundred words in before puttering to a halt. It's not that I don't know what happens, it's just some of the details I have to work out, but I wasn't feeling it and had to stop. Usually writing the boys comes so easy, but it wasn't today and I didn't like it. Bah, I'll just go ahead and blame Matt, because... he's Matt. *grin* And I was writing his POV anyway. :P

I know what I need to do. I need to reread some chapters from Part 3 to get me back in their headspace - particularly where they are right now. But somehow I found myself rereading what I have so far of "A Scotch for the Road" today, and the next 2 parts of THAT just flowed easily through my head. Gah. Wrong story, Kelly. No, I've been too set on continuing Spliced to get distracted now. Sorry, Brett, poor neglected boy.

The plan is to reread Part 3 some and write more of the next chapter tomorrow at work. Here's hoping! G'night.

Well, maybe you just need something to distract inspire you from the work for a while? And then you can come back refreshed?

Thanks that helped! :D Perhaps all I needed was some inspiration. *grin* I got some more writing done yesterday. ;)

And that was despite my wretched day. It was almost epically bad. Why? I was driving to work yesterday morning, and I was stopped at a red light when this jerk in a plumbing van rear ended me. Smashed up my back bumper pretty bad, as well as my trunk. I was so mad; I mean how do you careen into someone who's stopped at a red light? Talk about dumb, and blind. How could he not see the light was red? Sigh.

It was just this wonderful "Happy Monday! Hello Car Accident!" event. What a way to start the day--and the week.

So yummy pictures helped soothe me after I got home later. XD
