On the bright side, I'm not hallucinating yet!

I am so tired I feel nauseous, in addition to the gravity surges and headache. Therefore, I am going to

FINISH THIS DAMNED SCENE,

and see if the pain helps the creative process. Crank the music, this could be interesting.

Edit: I just killed someone, and show no signs of stopping. So lame.....

Nothing much new to report, except I wrote a scene from the viewpoint of a highly, highly arrogant young man. I didn't really like being inside his mind. I had to do a fade-to-black at one point. Next up, we RUN FOR OUR LIVES WITH ALL THE HOUNDS OF HELL BEHIND US. Also known as, a normal day at the office. ;D

"If I have to listen to your voice while I die, there really is no mercy in the world."

I have now embraced the "don't tell your reader exactly what is going on," after far too many words of trying to detail everything. I think this is an improvement. It was also motivated by the fact that I have no idea how Sarti stole that speeder. She won't tell me. :D

And now Law is panic attacking, and everything is going to hell in a handbasket. Pretty much par for the course! ^_^

I painfully dragged a scene-ish-thing out of myself today, and it was painful. Then I looked at it, and decided that it would strain credibility TOO much, even for the very elastic bounds I've set up, for the people to get out of there alive, must less non-captured. So I had to delete most of it and re-write.

Which was painful, but feels so much better now that it's done! That's the first time I've done that, I think, so I'm newly impressed with how much like lancing a boil that is. Get all the nasty gone, and rewrite! ^_^

Yes I know I need help.

Write two sentences, pause for several minutes, write two sentences, pause for several minutes, write two sentences, pause for several minutes...

I'm trying to write a "scared" scene. By which I mean that one of my characters is scared, and in reading it you're scared too.

By golly that's hard! I'm sifting through the thesaurus so often I'm considering bookmarking it, trying to find just the right turn of phrase and twist of adjective. Of course, working so hard at it probably means that this will be the part that makes me bash my head against the floor when I go to edit it, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try now! (Doesn't it?) I want it to be good, even while I'm despairing entirely. ^_^

Anyhow, back to my eight hundred words of pain and suffering. By which I mean MY pain and suffering, my character is only going through a little dread. Mwahahahah. Ahem.

I"m gonna give up on it soon.....

I think [caps lock] expresses my feelings right about now.

HATREDDDDD.....

SO MUCH HATRED FOR MY NOVEL.

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO LAME, AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TAKE SO LONG, AND WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO UNPROFESSIONAL? WHY DO YOU GIVE ME HEADACHES, AND WHY DO MY CHARACTERS ALL MORPH MADLY, AND WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE SUCH A CRAZY/STUPID PROSE STYLE WHICH I HATE, YOU EXILING PIECE OF DESHASTELANE METAL.

I WANT TO FINISH YOU SO I CAN TAKE YOU OUT BACK AND BURN YOU IN EFFIGY AND TRUTH.

DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE.

Ahem. I should sleep now. *waves*
