These gals have the right idea.

And thus here we are, staring down yet another December.

I actually like December. It’s finally decently cold sometimes, Christmas!, vacations (I leave for America in less than two weeks! Wee!), and Nano is over so I can stop obsessing over making my daily goals. Which means I totally lose track of my daily goals. Whooooops.

I took the past couple of days off but went back into writing today. Finally finished another scene! As for the editing, it has to be put off another week anyway because this week is my monthly business trip and I can’t do any adequate editing on my little laptop. Writing? Okay. Editing? Good luck. And to top it off I’m starting another (reading) book this week so there goes even more time.

Also doesn’t “help” (and yet totally does) that I’ve started playing Sims 3 again. Like any game/computer game, it’s something that comes in phases before going away again. And right now I’m in a Sims 3 phase. I’m not even a normal Sims 3 player,  I guess. I don’t make random Sims to play with, nope, I have to make all my novel sims. And take lots of screenshots. Some that don’t even make sense, or some that are events that haven’t happened yet that I use for inspiration and reference later on. It’s basically a big, expensive storyboard.

And plus it’s fun to see characters that will never hook up just kinda fall all over each other because the game mechanics think that’s what supposed to happen.

But writing in general has been slow today. I got a scene that I was dragging with done at dinner tonight. As some of you may recall,  I write all my scenes in order. And I’m really trying to finish this chapter so I can get on to the next one which is SUPER FUN and I am SOOOO looking forward to it, seriously. It’s got a couple of scenes I’ve been hankering to write for years now. And it’s coming. Oh god it’s coming.

Here, have another screenshot of Japanese Catholic high school girls being utterly ridiculous.

Five minutes later, I discovered custom posing. NICE KNOWIN’ U ALL.
