What a Pleasant Day
Aug. 14th, 2005 10:22 pmI started out very industrious, but was kinda tired from all the running around yesterday, not getting to bed until after midnight, and kitties waking me up so many times.
In addition to writing, I ended up doing a lot of relaxing, watching movies on cable, taking a nap, and then playing some Mario 3 with my youngest son tonight. Hadn't played that in a long time and I was soooooo bad at it.
But, it was fun, and then I came back to my novel inspired. Strange how that works, but video games really get my creative juices flowing.
And, since it's late, of course I'm on a roll, but I made myself stop. Told myself it was a great place to pick up tomorrow where one character is trying to help his twin sister, who is injured, but he's being controlled by something and is in danger of destroying her instead of helping her. Such angst.
Anyway, this series of scenes went off in an unanticipated direction which, once again, added depth and a new dimension I hadn't previously considered. So, I'd have to say I'm quite pleased with my writing for the day.
One step closer to being finished, but I'm willing to be patient since these scenes are turning out well.
My oldest son starts back to college tomorrow. New semester. It's going to be a little difficult getting him there and picking him up with the hours I'm at work, but we'll work it out and just keep our fingers crossed that tomorrow goes smoothly.
