more on writing - yes it is my life

do you want to know something funny? page 111 of my novel is home to scene 1 of chapter 11, i just thought that was a bit mad! and yes - i have divided my novel into scenes, just to make the writing less of a struggle, cause i can aim for 2 scenes a day as opposed to a certain number of words or pages or whatever.

i really havn't much else to say. i have a craving to play oblivion, cause i think i've found a fix to my game (my main save is a bit broken - one of the essential characters is missing).

i'm also quite looking forward to a game (an mmorpg - shock horror) called aion. it looks really beautiful and is about angels and demons. though i'll probably not buy it, because i really can't afford monthly subscription fees. oh, yes. and the fact that i will probably be in new zealand when it comes out. there are so many good games due out this year and i'm going to miss them all - waaaaaaa.

writing news

buh - writing is going badly today. i've gotten to this bit where Zachery's "mother" (she's not his real mother) is having a crisis of conscience and i don't know how to get this across, especially when writing from Zachery's point of view. so yea. i may just sum up the action and move on. i really have to move on. i have this tight schedule that, if i manage to stick to it, has me finishing the novel by the middle of february. i really don't want to be stuck at it for much longer than that.

as an aside - i am on 74,542 words (of an estimated 124,000) and 106 pages. go me! buh - i'm never going to be finished by the middle of feb.

101 pages

see that title? yea? good. that is now the length of my novel, of which the working title is beginning to stick and i am considering calling "The Fall". perhaps that is a bit ambiguous, though. random young person (i say young because it's the kind of thing that used happen to me when i was younger) goes into a book shop and thinks "'The Fall' wow, cool book about autumn, let me look at it. awh, wait. this isn't about autumn, it's just some crummy fantasy about a stupid angel. god, who wants to read that crud." yea, so then they go and say to their friends "that ria one, the one with the fall book, is a total sell out. i mean, angels. god. who'd buy that?"

heh heh. i am currently laughing at myself. better than a minute ago. some random person called to the door and rang the chimes for about 10 minutes. i huddled in my room hoping for a) daddy to realize someone was at the door and go open it b)mammy to wake up and check it out c) the person to go away. number c happened, but not for ages and in that time i was deeply considering turning off my lights and hiding in my bed. i'm such a weirdo. i'm scared of people at the door. god, like. i really just hate people who bang on the door for ages, though - and those really persistent ones who then get their car keys and tap at the windows. whuuuu :shudder: those people drive me under the table for ages and ages.

heh - yea. enough ranting. i got to 101 pages today. i was so happy. and the part i'm on is so exciting too. it's all downhill for poor zachery from today + this makes me incredibly happy for some sadistic reason. i just love when misfortune befalls my characters. it's when you really get to see what they are made of - in zachery's case, hatred and anger. wooo!! whey for evilness! yeay. i wonder will "my great public" have a problem reading about the bad guy? well, he's not really bad - just very much a product of the events in his life and quite misguided about they way his life is turning out.

i can't wait to go to asia. we are going to have so much fun. i find myself dreaming about india these nights. in other random news - i'm listening to "saturday night wrist", "so divided" and "the eraser" these days and really enjoying them. it sorta makes me hopeful for good music for 2007 and beyond.

yes.

i'm going to go now. bye.
