queenoftheskiesWOO-HOO!
My oldest didn't finish with the dentist until 11:00. And, then I took him to lunch because I had to eat and because we haven't done that in a long time.
Got home around noon. Called boss to see if she really wanted me to go in and only work two hours. (Remember...it takes an hour to 1-1/2 hours to get there.) Or would she prefer (nice me...I'm so considerate of my workplace) I take a vacation day???
She said vacation day!!!
HOORAY!!!!
Now, I want to go to Disneyland, but there's not really enough time before I have to pick up youngest and daughter.
I made a page of plot points, two pages (I think) of notes and started two scenes in Out of the Darkness--new opening--while waiting for son at dentist. (We were there a LONG time.)
Made them in a really pretty shade of pink ink. (I know I've told you folks before that I color code. It was in my Xanali section of my BIG spiral...because it started out as Xanali during NaNoWriMo, and then was split into two sections...Out of the Darkness and Xanali.)
Now, though, I have to fight the oh, my god, everything I write is crap feelings to actually try to get anything done.
Sigh...I hate it when this happens.

I do find, in general, though, that I brainstorm better with pen and paper. I think it's because it's less linear. I can write arrows and squigglies and inserts and I'm not confined to the left-to-right of an electronic document.

Date: 2006-04-28 01:41 am (UTC)Well, to be honest, when I sit down to write scenes, as opposed to notes and plotting, I often write in whatever color suits my fancy, too. Depends on my mood. :)
I like brainstorming on paper much better. It helps to see it in black and white.
