Head Rush
Wow, sorry about that. Something came up last Thursday which really threw me out of whack for a while... and then on Saturday I took a whack to my thumb with a poleaxe. It got rather crushed, and hurts a little still. Not damaged in the long-term though, which is nice. Paul would have killed me if he'd lost another major fighter at the May Bank Holiday Arundel event.

So yes, things are going well. The book's coming along well as I've been getting further ahead. I've just reached the main bulk of the story now, so I need to make sure it doesn't start moving too fast otherwise it'll look poorly structured.

Haven't got long right now, though: I'm about to have a look at cars, as I want to replace my Nissan Micra with something I can actually, you know, fit inside.

I'll let you know how it goes ^_^

Comments!

Betteh.: Twilight Princess is the new Zelda game for the Nintendo Wii ^_^ It's pretty involving stuff. Possibly one of the most genuine games I've played in a long time, which is why it's hard to put down sometimes.

I just need to make sure that even if I'm not writing it, that I'm working through it in my mind. Sometimes I know I can't write, and that if I did I'd only get annoyed with it so I just sit somewhere quiet, listen to music and just work through the plot. I managed to sort out the opening to chapter five like that.

I get weird dreams even without eating anything ^_^; I once had one where my friend Dan had to dress up as my youngest dog to prevent me from getting married. That was pretty cool, actually.

Miss Orange de Monkey: My friend is getting really twitchy about not being able to watch Shippuden now :p I think we may have to soon otherwise he'll burst. And that won't be a pretty picture.

Death Note just has such an interesting premise. And it's gripping, too. I don't think I've been more (pardon the pun) drawn in by a manga before. I needs it!

Roleni-chan: I know :p Sometimes I have to justify playing on the Wii by talking out loud about my plot ideas. Doesn't last long, though.

This chapter was always going to be difficult because it had to introduce certain elements without losing focus on the character you're meant to follow. I'm a little worried that people may be expecting someone else to take the lead, but I'll sort that out later.

I have up to Volume 12 of Tsubasa. I was a little surprised that almost the entirety of the last two volumes has been in once place. I kind of want it to move faster, especially as we've still got very little idea about the overall goal of the story at this point. At the moment it's still going from world to world to world without any revalation to do with why this happened in the first place. Unless I've forgotten it.

Daydreams, hopes and ambitions, my friends and music are my biggest inspirations. I'm not afraid of who I am any more, and I'm not afraid to push ahead to do something that means a lot to me. Likewise I'll always helpt those around me achieve what they want to achieve in any way I can.

Remind me and I'll tell you about the dreams I have when I'm ill in the next post.

Kei: Please do ^___^

Notes is good. It took me three years to get my book to a stage where I was confident about actually writing it, especially as I didn't have much time to myself. Now I do, then I can ^_^

Wensdayskitten: Sometimes I'll work on a little reward or target scheme. I want to get to at least page 60 by the end of this week, for example. If possible, I'd like to do it by Wednesday but that depends on how I can do today and tomorrow.

Things became much easier for me to do once I was out of education. I'm really lucky to have a family who'll support me in what I do until I can be self-sufficient; ideally I don't want to be living here for too much longer, but while I am I'll enjoy it and make the most of being able to relax and enjoy my writing, and build up a decent base for getting it published.

Aha, anime soundtracks ^_^ Thanks for the recommendations. I have the Azumanga Daioh DVDs, so I'll have another flick through them to sample the music. The stuff in the menus is nice, I know that much. And I've heard good things about Lain, too.

Des: Aha, Noir ^_^ That's one of Kajiura's I've not heard yet. I have .hack\\SIGN, Tsubasa and Elemental Gelade of hers, but not Noir. I wasn't too struck on the opening song for Noir, but I haven't actually heard any of the background music yet, so I'll definitely give that a go. Cheers ^_^

Akamaru: Waai! *glomps* Where have you been?

I'll try and get my sister to hide the power cable to the Wii if it gets really bad. but then, she want to play on it at least as much as I do, so that may not work. Perhaps Mum, then. Although, knowing her, I won;t see it again until I've finished the thing completely >.>;
