Is that paint on your wall or has the suck monkey been busy again?

Man oh man, it's been the busy at work, but I did manage to finish up that pesky chapter five and post it to the workshop. I'm less than blissed about it, but at least I'm not as unhappy as I was a couple of weeks back. It didn't want to get written in a nice, neat sequential way. It wanted to jump all over the place, throws lots of interesting ideas at the walls—ooh pretty colors!—and see which ones stuck. It's chock full of stuff, although I did manage to cut some of it and smooth some of it, but . . . meh. It's kind of ugly.

First draft, Pam.

Oh, right.

On to chapter six. If I can just figure out what happens next.


Random quote of the day:

"Sometimes we measure the quality of life's passage by just how much of an assortment of mindless pastimes we develop to entertain ourselves through it."

—Peter David, The Woad to Wuin

Thank you. Did you ever read those books: Sir Apropos of Nothing, The Woad to Wuin, and Tong Lashing? They're good (or the first two are--I bought the third but haven't read it yet). I avoided them for a long time because I thought they were just another Terry Pratchett rip off, but they're actually good--they have an actual story that I could get into and characters that I could really get into. And they're very funny!

Woot! It was a surly sucker.

No, I haven't hear of them before... but i'll stick them on my to-read list, which seems to be getting more PJ-loaded by the day. :-)
