...Words of my novel written by 8.30 this morning. I think I can declare my writer's block on this one finally over. Not only that, I have the voice of the book now; the light and colours of it, I've got four of my five central characters talking and walking and I know who they are and – I’m so pleased because it's really been bothering me that I couldn't get it up and running.
Phew. *g*
So, that leaves me the rest of the day to write some fic.
I've got my writerly groove back. ::gyrates that happy jive thang:

I've just switched the telly off (watched Jeremy Kyle first - what can I say, it's a disease!) and I'm about to get stuck in to the NT. ::sends good fic writing vibes::
Jeremy Kyle says you're scum...
*g*
I've been trying to opress on since 8.30 but Dad is being unusually difficult this morning. :;sigh:: But we have him settled now, with tea and Jeeves and Wooster. I need a work out then I'll be pressing on with de fic.
And, NT squee!! Keep us posted on your progress because, you know. ::is impatient::

*g* Seriously, I'm very happy for you!
Ah sheesh - ::blushing wildly::...
I'm really relieved about the novel because I was this close to scrapping it - it just wasn't happening - and (telling you this because know you like to talk about writing (o:) it all turned out to be a POV problem; I thought I could do the whole book through one pair of eyes - I couldn't. I've switched it to 3 POVs and it's all just fallen into place.
I feel more relaxed than I have in months. *g*
Re: Ah sheesh - ::blushing wildly::...
Hey, no need to blush. Just calling it as I see it and having fun :-) And I can totally understand how Jim might be trickier to write. In a way his motivation/emotions and actions are more controversial wrt themselves. But I'm sure you'll get it done and I'm guessing that tinkering with the last bit should get you in the groove :-)

*g* One of the biggest reasons of why I keep going on and on about POV (since I figured out what it was) is that I think it's one of the biggest keys if not *the* key to telling the story. If it doesn't fit, you just can't tell the story that's in your head. Period. The most schizophrenic thing about it is that you have this idea/feeling/whatever about the story in your head, have it all planned and everything, the characters are working and properly motivated, and still it can take ages to figure out from which POV you're actually seeing it all. Which, of course, you've just experienced. So again Yay! on getting over this obstacle. I'm hopeful that you won't be running into any more :-)

Re: i'm always impressed...
the hard part is actually deciding to concentrate on it for a half-hour or so (which is how long my writing time chunks seem to last). i have this severe magpie comp - ooo, shiney!

Was it gone? Surely couldn't tell by Angel Dust! Stunning work, amazing stuff there and did that say sequels?
Also waiting slightly impatiently for the Academy story since I was a goof and missed out at the auction, too busy ansting over the stuff I said I'd do and forgot to bid on anything. But Anticipation makes the honey sweeter right?
Was it gone?
Yes. Big time! (o: But it's back now; I've cooked its favourite dinner (gorgonzola pizza) and it's all bedded down on a feather duvet. I needs must keep it sweet in future. *g*
The Academy tale - what a big old angst-fest that is! It's much more than half-way through now, though and coming along fast, you shouldn't have to wait too long to see it.
But thanks so much for your amazing and lovely words on AD, I'm chuffed to Cairo and back that you liked it that much. Gosh... ::blushes:: bless you - and a sequel, yup; the story's a trilogy (but I haven't even begun to give part 3 serious thought yet).
