Well...

Okay, here it is: Things are slowly getting done and it's freaking me out.

About half the outline on 'The Book' is done (first draft of it, but still) and I'm starting to think about the order in which other projects should be tackled.

I also had veggie Shepard's Pie for dinner and am still kind of shocked by how good it was.

None of that had much of a point but you know what else doesn't have much of a point? The fact that I actually do want to be a writer. I want to do other things too but that's something that I can work on later. Writing is just something I do so I might as well make a living at it, right?

Right.

So yeah.

Also, as of this writing (and this will likely change) the first page of my tumblr has about three posts of different commission information from people trying to help out a friend in Poland. If you can commission or donate, please do. Anything helps.

Aside from that and my news, not much has happened here. I used to ramble for a while in these things but I just don't have much to say aside from the fact that I'm annoyed that something so simple is so hard to outline. It's a major plot point too. *headdesk*

But yeah, that's me for right now. I'll probably get as much of the outline down as I can and then maybe rot my brain with anime. That sounds like a good plan right now.

I'll try to check in more often guys. I'm just so lazy...

*hops away*

Pictures of Food

See this? This is a salad sampler. This is awesome. This is coleslaw, some kind of spinach thing and then some kind of Greek thing. (a) it's late b) this was a while ago and c) shut up.) Also a roll.

This was breakfast (from a while ago). Fruit salad and a waffle with berry preserves and syrup. What's not to love?

This is pasta salad and bread. That's about it. (Actually, the pasta and some seasoning came in a box and we doctored everything else. This dish marks my first time cutting up little tomatoes.)

This is actually mum's dish (since hers looked better) but we had pretty much the same thing. Fiesta bean and cheese tacos. Three kinds of beans plus several things that look like beans corn, onions and shredded cheese in a taco shell.

Breakfast from not quite as long ago. Toast with butter, a mix of eggs, peppers, onions, cheese and probably something else and a strip of veggie bacon.

This was either lunch or dinner. Either way it was good ^^ Cheese tortellini, noodles and veggie spring rolls.

This... Just this. This is a spinach tortilla wrapped around rice, fiesta bean salad, onion, peppers and cheese. We had tortilla strips with it because original. I had veggie cheese on mine and neither the taste nor the texture made me want to gag. I was so happy ^^

Here's a closeup:

One day I will stop taking pictures of my food.

And, just because I need one more picture on this post, here is my desk. I do writer-ly things there:

I now have books and an older camera in that little shelf-cubby thing on the right there. I took this because I was just glad to have the freaking thing put together.

Now that the 'My Life in Pictures' part of the post is out of the way, how are you all? I've actually been doing quite well. I still like my Script Frenzy. Is it a serviceable script? Probably not but it is giving me ideas and basically running itself for the most part and I could not be more grateful for that. I'm at 60 pages even right now.

Also, website. That's actually becoming less and less of a pipe dream right now and I am happy. Even if things are moving along slowly, they're still moving along, right? Right. Organisation is the key.

I have a list. And on that list are three little lists: Writing, Rewriting/Editing and Ideas. I have 9 in the Writing section, 7 in the Rewriting/Editing section and 7 in the Ideas section. Which means that I have work to do. But here's the thing: I actually want to work. I don't just want to be established and all that, I want the journey too. Hopefully that works in my favour.

It's late here and my nails are now pink so I guess I should probably either work or sleep. Sleep's probably going to win even though this song makes me want to write for one story in particular. Really, the whole playlist does. *keyboard vomit*

I know what I need to work on (even a little) tomorrow.

Bye for now, guys~ I'm going to curl up and think about stories ^^

Well...

I've become one of those people who takes pictures of their food.

And here they are:

Breakfast -

A banana, an apple spice muffin and a bowl of almond cluster cereal with almond milk.

And dinner -

Coleslaw, pita chips, fiesta bean salad, cheese tortellini (in a sauce I can't pronounce). It is so good.

Okay. I'm done. I just love the food up here. It's all so fresh and just... good. And I had a Dilly Bar. A cherry Dilly Bar. We have a box of cherry and a box of butterscotch now. I regret nothing.

We just got back from the local Safeway and we have apples and I want to juice them or bake them or something. We also have grilled veggie and cheese pizzas and hummus and all kinds of things I wish didn't have to last us so long because I want to eat them.

*calms down* So now on to something that isn't food related, huh?

Script Frenzy. Script Frenzy is actually going decently. By that I mean that I'm almost on page 20 and that means I'm catching up. Alistair is a messed up kid but he's a good guy deep down. Michael's there to keep him from getting killed at least.

And I have so many new ideas up here; it's insane. Some of them are headcanon and fan stories but most of them are just interesting things that I think I could make something out of.

I have a bed now. Like an actual bed, not an air mattress on the floor. It's got this cool black and red comforter on it, too. And the place we went to for the beds was so cool. They had free peanut butter cookies and popcorn. And the delivery guys were nice. They carried the boxes of desk up the stairs for me ^^

We'll go back into town tomorrow for a smaller grocery run and some essentials (that we keep forgetting somehow).

It's kind of weird to think that we'll have to drive three days again to pick up more of our stuff. It feels like we've been here forever. It's just such a community here.

. . .

I watched My Little Pony Friendship is Magic this morning. It was actually really cute.

This is the kind of thing I do up here. Awesome. I also smile at strangers, drink water and eat things I normally wouldn't have eaten on a bet. I'm so different up here it's insane. We've only been up here a week. Wow.

So, I think I'm going to settle in, work on Script Frenzy, probably read back through my NaNoWriMo Novel (which I actually don't hate (yet)) and maybe try to figure out my website. I kind of know what I want to do. I just A) have no idea how to do it effectively (get my name out there as quality) and B) am a little terrified. It would be kind of a leap to put myself out there, even if everything was as ready as it could be.

I'm really rambling in this one since it's getting late and I'm kind of realising just how weird I am by comparison to my 'old self' so bye for now, guys~ I will talk at you all later on. *bounces away*

Hello again...

and I do apologise for disappearing like that.

Things seem to be going well and I'm just constantly on edge right now because of that. I don't want it to go away, you know? My sleep schedule should probably be dragging me out and making me really tired but it's not. I actually feel a little better.

Karen (friend of mine) has kind of disappeared off the face of the internet map but that happens to her when something good happens too, so I'm not that worried. She just can't seem to keep things up to date... Poor thing.

Otherwise, things are going decently. I'm a little tired but a part of me wants to go get lunch at the little coffee shop we go to sometimes. Not sure what I'll do just yet. I keep thinking about the coleslaw wraps they have but I'm just so lazy. :/ AugNo anthology story has the first draft down, so that's awesome. Only now I have to edit. Blegh.

What else? Oh yeah, I only have three more doughnuts to make (in the first colour). I'm disproportionately happy about that. ^^ Aside from simple things (like changing my window glass colour to red, making my room look like a post-apocalyptic wasteland just by closing the (red) curtains and having a really awesome (destroyed city) desktop background) nothing much is going on.

So, yeah. I will now return to writing down whatever pops into my head in an effort to boost my word count. Bai-bai~
