jackofallgeeksI need coffee and cigarettes.
Not that I drink coffee or smoke cigarettes or anything. Just that maybe if I had the writing atmosphere, I could get into the writing mood.
Felicia did some commentary on my story, which helped me clean up some bits of it. Some things she's 'corrected' I already edited on my copy since posting it on LJ, but it's the thought that counts. I wanted to get him off that roof tonight, but I'm not sure it's going to happen. Maybe, but I need caffeine, of which I am in short supply.
I also need to have a nigh-finished draft of a nigh-finished story by next Tuesday, for my Creative Writing conference. I'm going to have her go over whatever I have for The Ascension, but she wants at least one finished piece by the end of the year, and The Ascension will be a novel-sized work if I can help it, so I don't expect it to be done in another two months. Not at my pace, anyways. I think I'm going to take Sunglow and turn it from a Snippet into a ShortStory, and see how that goes. Flesh it out into more of a world-view type, and see if I can get it to go for five or so pages... it my be a bit of work, but that's what i plan on working on this weekend. that and my philosophy paper which is due next Wednesday. Whee.
So, yeah, maybe I need coffee and cigarettes...
