Since I don't have a paid LJ, I have to just ask it the hard way.

What's the highest gas price you've seen in your area?

What's the lowest gas price you've seen in your area?

I'm wondering what the rest of the country is like right now.

EDIT: Heck. I'm wondering what the rest of the world is like right now. What are gas prices like in other countries, folks?

Learning to Write

What has been the most difficult thing you've had to learn/are trying to learn, as a writer?

Why? (If you know why.)

What has been the easiest thing you've had to learn/are learning, as a writer?

And, once again, if you know, why?

Choose My Own Adventure?

Last night, I slept well. Extremely well. It was a lovely sleep that left me feeling happy this morning, in spite of the fact that I have to go face work.

It wasn't ENOUGH sleep, but the quality of it was good. I woke up only once, at 3:45, and went back to sleep, even though I had to rise at 4:30.

During that time, I had a dream. A marvelous, wonderful dream, with an epic feel to it.

But, alas, when the alarm went off at 4:30, I was only midway through. I don't know the ending!

It left me feeling wonderful, with the need to know what happened.

However, I don't remember the beginning now. Only a scene from right before I woke up.

So, I feel like I'm left with a "choose your own adventure" book, and so much possibility to turn this dream into a story or use it in one I already have going.

It's Lovely Tonight

The moon is almost full. The temps are mild. There's a fabulous breeze blowing.

One couldn't ask for much more.

I think I've figured out the problems that the new job location and commute are causing for my writing. I'm too tired to write it all out tonight. Maybe this weekend.

Yes, there's a reason I wrote a couple of scenes on this instead of working on what I've been working on. Yes, they are good reasons. I'm too tired to go into them tonight. :)

Got a new opening worked out for the screenplay, Atonement. In novel form, it's called Wildfire. Both those names need changing...preferably into the same thing when I decide what it's going to be.

Didn't have the energy or brain cells to do it justice, so I decided to wait.
