Writer's Block
I can see the importance of a lot of writer's advice now. I hadn't really paid it much attention before, but now it really makes sense. Setting aside a time to write each day, for one, because it increases your productivity. I find it incredibly easy to get distracted. And to not isolate yourself is important, too. I've caught myself wanting to just be locked away somewhere (and while I'm sure some people may argue that'd be a good idea) to write, you have to get out and relax, bounce ideas off people and come back so you can keep your ideas fresh. Certainly you need breaks. But you have to be sensible with them. I really need to limit my time on Twilight Princess >.>;

So, I've got another few pages done. I want to get to forty by the end of today, which leaves me another four and a bit to go. This chapter's been pretty difficult to write; I suddenly encountered a logistical problem that needed sorting before I could move on. I could have written it and then come back, but it would have affected the scene order and generally been a bit messy. It should get simpler from here for a while. I've drafted out the next few chapters, so I have a guide to stick to.

Just remembered another problem that I never finished sorting out. That's later, though. I'll ignore that for the moment :p

I've a hankering to buy some more anime CDs, but I don't know what to get until Naruto: Shippuden comes out. Not that I've heard any of it yet, but I want it anyway ^___^

I have got Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle IV on the way, along with the 20020220 Final Fantasy concert CD. The 'More Friends' Final Fantasy LA Concert on my wish list, and I'll probably add Howl's Moving Castle before long, as that's something I'm interested in too.

I hope everyone's well. Feel free to drop me a line if you fancy a chat ^_^

Urgh, cannibalism. I hate dreams like that that give you a weird, unsettled feeling when you wake up. I had a dream I was going to die soon, and it suddenly made me realise how little I'd accomplished so far. Tell you what, it was pretty decent motivation if nothing else o_o;

The dreams you get when you're ill are downright horrible, too. If I described them to you, it wouldn't make any sense why they scare me as much as they do. It's the feeling you get with it that's just so... repulsive.

Zelda's going well now ^_^ I'm just over halfway through, I think.

Betteh.: I know, it's weird! I've had some dreams where I've been half-awake, and doing things without being completely aware of the situation. I once took my pillowcase off my pillow, and tried to pass my duvet to someone who wasn't there ^_^; It was just bizarre.
