My Life is Odd

Update on my doings: I finished one semester of copyediting and still want to kill one of my professors, managed to get an interview with Highlights magazine, wreaked havoc at PAX East while dressed as a Pokemon, played through the entirety of Warriors: Legends of Troy, nearly lost my story files because my cat thinks making the keys click is fun, and bought my brother a fedora that looks like a wedge of cheese.

For all my complaining, I really love my crazy life sometimes.

My computer's going in for repairs sometime next week, but I have all of my files saved on a jump drive so I can work on another computer. I'm finally getting my writing groove back and I'll be damned if cat hair-clogged processing chips are going to stop me.

The next Call My Name chapter is going up next Tuesday for sure. I wanted to get a couple of chapters written so I didn't fall behind again, but it happened anyway. *Sigh* I'm about halfway through the next chapter as well. In addition, I finally decided to stop outlining and start writing some of New Kingdoms. I've been so obsessed with getting the entire story planned that it never occurred to me to take it one battle at a time. Duh. As of right now, I have the intro snippets rewritten and I'm mostly done with the first Preparations chapter. I just need to finish writing Shu's stuff. Next will be writing the actual Yellow Turban Rebellion and the aftermath. If that turns out well, I'll jump right into Dong Zhou nonsense. I still won't post too much until after those battles are written so I can get a sense of the story and its flow. Any ROTK fans/readers know how easy it can be to lose direction in a story like this. I've read it twice and I still get lost at some of the junctions.

I'm babbling. Look for RE updates next week for sure. Hopefully all of the writing for New Kingdoms will get the creativity flowing again so I can finish what I've already started. Toodles!
