"A census taker tried to test me once..."

kittydesadeIt's time for a census!
What is a census, you ask? Ah, this should be fun. A census is when I go through my mind, my notes, and my hard drive, and take a roll call of every character I've ever created. Most often it's the characters that stick around long after my story ideas have disappeared. So it's time for me to go through and write down all their names, see if they're still prominent, write a few words about them in my character journal, perhaps make an icon or three.
Which means that it's going to be time for Fun With Perfume Pics. Ah yay.
Writing continues to be more productive than job hunting. I really need to just pick up and submit some of the short stories I've written to magazines. Maybe, if nothing else, I can get paid for that. I know there's a bunch of listings in the Writer's Market book for short story publication places... magazines and the like... that pay for stories. I can try there. Really, I can get published. I just need the courage. (Which is what I need you for...) Oh, never mind.
I've been a good girl. I've been doing my stretches every morning, writing what I should. Except for my fanfic, bad me, I haven't been working on that nearly as much as I should. I will as soon as the silly boyfriend vacates my computer room when he gets up from his nap. He stays up so much later than I do and sleeps in as a result. Me, I'm trying to achieve some sort of a vaguely normal schedule. Were it not that I have bad dreams.
And really, I think that's about all for today. My life hasn't been very exciting lately. And that's definitely the way I prefer it.

almightyhat? The time you mentioned... I wouldn't be surprised, that's shortly before I woke up and couldn't get ahold of him, and spent the next hour or so trying to go back to sleep/flipping out. Our lives are so much fun...
