Bleh ...
It's 3:27 AM. I'm tired, but, of course, just can't get myself to go to bed. I hate that. I really do. I have no idea what is wrong with me that I can't convince myself to go to bed at a decent time. Bah.
I've been trying to implement a new writing plan -- get up in the AM at least a couple of hours before the kiddo. That way, I have some quiet time in which to write. I managed to do it today, and got a little bit done. Sadly, my character is being a bit uncooperative at the moment. Hopefully he'll be nicer tomorrow. Maybe, if I get up enough mornings in a row, I'll start going to bed at a decent time. This would be good. I think. It is a "day person's" world, after all. >.O I hate that, but it's a fact of life. *sigh*
I got an unpleasant email today. From someone who, I hope, will not contact me again. I hate it when a friendship goes bad, but I really hated hearing from them, too. I emailed them back; I figured it was the most "right" thing to do in the situation. But, my email was not friendly, and should not encourage future contact.
To balance out that yuckola, I found another site that has some of my fanfics rec'd on it. I'm such a total geek, but that made me sqweel in happiness. It always surprises me when someone likes my work enough to recommend it. It's a good kind of surprise, but ... still, a surprise. I'm really grateful, though, when people want to read -- and even more so when they enjoy the stories.
And, I just got confirmation that I will be able to get a cel I've been coveting for a while off of a dealer's site. I can't wait to send the payment off tomorrow, and am really excited to get something from this particular movie. YAY!
Still watching Louie the Rune Soldier. I'm on disc 5 of 6, and ... yep, still enjoying it.
And, well, that's it for now. I know -- soooo boring. *cries*

talk to me
Re: talk to me
Thanks for the kind words, and for the compliments on my writing, too. It means a lot to me, and, although getting compliments wasn't my intent in writing the emo-whiny LJ entry, I'll definitely treasure your words. That entry, really, was the product of a very down day. Several very down days in a row, actually. >.O
It is so very, very kind of you to offer your assistance like that. I really, really appreciate it. *hugshugshugs*
I thought about the story a lot. And about my own moodiness and feelings of inadequacy. And a wonderful friend emailed me to remind me about a very good piece of writing advice, which is to "close the door" while working up a first draft of any story. After some thought, I think this is what I'm going to do. Not because it's scary to let others read my work (although it is scary -- LOL), but just because I think I should have done this in the first place. To give myself time to believe in this story and in my ability to tell it.
I hope this makes sense, and that it doesn't seem like I'm ungratefully blowing off your offer of help. I do not mean it that way at all. I really, really appreciate you being willing to take the time to read for me. *hugs*
