(no subject)

I missed the bus for the political thing. Fuck. How did I get the wild idea to stay up until 4am when I went to bed at 10pm? I am also banging my head against the third part of Pandora's Waltz. I hate action scenes. I am afraid I will leave out too many details and it will be boring. Oh look, people shooting, and some of them are running. My action scenes are more deadpan than explosive. Hell, someone in my writer's group says that my big shootout in my novel ended too quickly and didn't have enough details (particularly since it takes place at a certain local science fiction convention at a very old and very grand hotel). My sister and her friend has discovered the joyous world of pop guns. I get to hear it. Oy.

Meanwhile, I am trying to think of something to eat other than chocolate cream pie, ice cream and root beer. Trying to cut down on my sugar intake, and was doing okay so far.

I am banging my head against other stories. Matter to You is weird in its way, since I have this block about writing explicit het sex with an original female character and a canon character. Don't ask me why, perhaps I read too many Mary Sues. Does it advance the story? In a way. She learns to relax and to not see sexuality in extremes of abstinence and debauchery (oh, I could go on about that topic). I need to bloody develop the canon character too.

I also want to add more of the Lydia story. See, I only wrote the bit for the first two verses and chorus of "Half Jack." She has some more things to say about the second half.

I also hate the idea of editing my short stories. Hate it.
