Dec. 10th, 2005 11:53 amTwo synopses done last night. They're crappy, but they're synopses. I like having drafts available to edit, at least most of the time. They may be crappy, but they're synopses, and they're done, and at least I have a skeleton to build off of. Or animate and send gallivanting around the neighborhood.
I also have done myself a resolution. I eat too many snacks at work, buy too many drinks when I could just bring cans from home. Not soda, before you stare funny glances at me, but juice. Lemonade, punch, that kind of thing. But I buy too many of these things, and I'm spending a lot of money I shouldn't. So instead I'm putting the money into some kind of tin or bag and marking down how much I'm not spending on snack food to make me feel better. The money, that is, not the snack food. I wonder how much I'll have saved in six months. And what I'll buy with it. We'll see.
It's frikkin' freezing in here, Mr. Biggelsworth.
Two synopses done and it's mostly slow here today, so I can edit one of the novels I did print off and bring in. Novella, really. It's only 30,000 words long. For those of you keeping track, I wrote it in a week. Five days, actually. Yeah. And it turned out better than I expected, although I did my NaNo trick of realizing I was only half through by the time I was almost out of time, and almost done with the words, so I just skipped all the things I didn't absolutley have to write. So now I'm going to have to write some more. Eh. I can do it.
No work tomorrow, then one week of hell, then it's over. Yay!! And I'm doing so, so good in the must-keep-editing-and-prepping-to-submit thing. No fleeing in terror for me! I rock. I can do this. HAH. I just gotta keep telling myself that.
