it's been a while since i've posted in my journal proper. Mostly b/c i've been posting (almost) daily over at [livejournal.com profile] honest_eats. I know that community has been a personal success for me and my eating habits, and i invite anybody who hasn't joined it to join us!

BUT, other than keeping track of my new years' resolution over on that community-- i really haven't been around lj too much. Which is a shame. I should be. Stuff is happening, and writing things down is always cathartic.


One of those enormous 'here's my life' posts. )

well. Deep breathing. There's so much to do, and not nearly enough time to do it. They should probably carve something like that on my tombstone: "WAIT! I'M NOT FINISHED!" or "JUST GIVE ME 15 MORE MINUTES!"

heh.

oh well. time to roll onward.

Mood in the Settlement: 'busy' busy

Chapter 2. Reposting of yesterday's 4 paragraphs with an additional 1/2 the chapter. 2,174 words. )



I got to talk to my editor today. Hello dee!! The poor thing has been laid up repeatedly with pain issues and now with a cold from hell. :( But she had many many many excellent suggestions that would never have come to light if I hadn't just freakin' bit the bullet and started writting. Those same suggestions pretty much make chunks of the stuff i've already done obsolete, but what the hell! We're going for VERBAGE now and EDITTING later!

Still. Fancy fun. She's so much help. When I grow up I wanna be strong and helpful like her. :D



edit: forgot the spiffy graph thing!

Chapter 2. First Eighth? 178 words. )






Okay "the object" is vague. If anyone can guess what kind of horrible, hospital-esque THINGY poor Raph's got stuck in his head, they win a prize! (And kevin knows, so he's disqualified. sorry, babe.)

But YES! Chapter 2 will be lots of yummy YUCKY HORRIBLE laboratory details. :D huzzah! Things are quite truncated tonight, b/c Kevin and I are going to go have a good time.

I just needed to write SOMETHING, just to keep my stride. Here we go! 4th night in a row! :D

*Dances!*

Chapter 1, final 2/3 with fixes. 2,612 Words. )






So, I went back to when I started disliking what i was writing yesterday and added some stuff. It hit me in the middle of the night that there's no way the turtles would have neglected to post at least ONE look-out while surrounded by hordes of humans, all hunting for them. So that got added. I fixed up the sound effects so that they were part of text and a larger picture.

I worry that once again, I lost track of the fog. I worry that I've skimped on what should have been massively visceral reactions. I feel like the characters are flat and the adrenaline peeters out before the chapter is over.

But. All of that is for my editor to help me with. the point is that i WROTE. And HAVING something to edit is the goal! :D Huzzah! Tomorrow we start on Chapter 2!! ...i have to look at my outline and figure out what's IN chapter 2...

but first, BED! :D

and my spiffy graphy thingy:

Chapter 1, First third. 1,665 Words. )

I knew it was time to stop tonight b/c i'd just started typing sound effects. Nothing new. So, we're shy of the 2000 word mark tonight, but still not too shabby!

Here's my spiffy graph again:
The Colony Magistrate Says : Cat climbing up and down the back of my desk chair
Mood in the Settlement: 'sleeeeepy!' sleeeeepy!
location: guys, i've got a desk top. 9 chances out of 10, i'm at home

Hanami Prologue. 2027 words. )

If my editor and I both like this, then you may see it again in finished fiction format. Otherwise, it will disappear into the void and never be spoken of again.

Here's my spiffy graph:
