(no subject)

Sometimes I love writing. Sometimes I hate it of course. Some days I struggle to get as high as 300 words. Some days I sit and glower at the screen like Beethoven blaming the screen for my deafness. Some day I play Bejewelled all day going "La La La If I don't think about writing then I don't have to do it!"

Not today though! Today I rock. I am the Monster Of Rockness.

2000 words in 2 days. For me - that's HUGE! Once I get to the end of this chapter though, I'm sure I'll be back in Denial and unable to move along.

I would give you a snippet, but cuts don't work at work. But there is young man adoration. Naked. Young. Man. Adoration.

BTW - SANDMAN - Gaiman. Which is the first one? I'm ordering stuff from the library and it doesn't say. Useless.

Film Night: The Illusionist, book burble.

Most of you have already seen this, I'm sure.  But I liked it. I was talking to Bad Mother today about how I'm completely naive when I watch films.  When I read a book I'm always trying to work out what's going to happen but with a film I never think about stuff until it hits me. I'm fodder to the film maker. I'm the one with my jaw dropping.  :)  the only things wrong with the film wereEd Norton's horrible beard and the fact that the film broke just before the Illusionist came on stage for the first time, and when they started it again it was AFTER the orange tree illusion so gawd knows how much we missed.

I've just finished "Children of Men." on DVD. Bleak, wonderfully done, but standard ending. I'd like it to have ended like it would do in real life.

One more week and I have 10 days off, and OMG I really need them, I have a lot of PC work to do, as well as writing, editing, submitting, finding agent, finding a home for transgressions.  I really have second-novel-itis about Transgressions...  I'm not saying Standish has been a SUCCESS! but it's had a favourable welcome, and I hope that later in my writing career people will find it as my first and not find it awful.  Actually thank god that Standish wasn't a big success. How the hell do people cope?  Laurie Lee never did, I know (until very recently)

I had fun over on Lust Bites, by the way. They say I'm the best guest they've had so far. *blushity* (This is only because I have no life and I had the time to reply to comments, the way I can't do on LJ any more) but it was fun and people were nice enough to ask a shedload of questions. I plan to do a chat in May, so more on that later.

Why isn't it Friday night? I have lots of nice pink wine....
