So, I spent the day re-doing my MySpace page and configuring this blog/site.  Another day designing, and getting no writing done.  Luckily it’s not often that I get the desire to work on graphics, but when I do, I have to see the job completely done.  I can’t just work a little this day and some more tomorrow.  No, it becomes a huge itch that must be scratched right then and until it ends.  If I had these urges monthly or more frequent I’d be in trouble.

There are two weeks until the Mentor Program begins (did I post about that on my last blog? probably not), and until I need to buckle down and get serious about my latest WIP, Tide of Darkness.  I’m very excited about it, and I can’t wait until it’s done.  I planned to spend these pre-mentor weeks outlining, but while the story is still very much desirable, I am having no motivation to outline.   My brain isn’t wanting to figure out what happens in chapter 10.  This could be no big deal or a major catastrophe. ;)  We’ll see how it goes.  I can either spend this weekend lecturing and demanding something or…

I can work on a short story that I want to write, but it too is not wanting to be outlined.  Just write it and don’t worry about the outline, you say?  Yeah, I’ve done that in the past, and it’s not very pretty.  I don’t need to know every minuscule detail, but a fleshed out synopsis wouldn’t hurt at this point.  After dinner tonight, (with no more designing to do) I’ll see which idea wants to be worked on, and I’ll go from there.  But can I write a 20K story in two weeks?  *shrugs*

I’ll let you know how it goes.  For now, I must catch the linguine before it becomes mush, and I like my pasta al dente.
