It’s been almost ten days since my last blog entry and yet I can’t think of anything substantial to write. I know I should write something - after all, it has been ten days - but I just can’t bring myself to do much.
I was going to blog about my trip to Napier, but I couldn’t drudge up the energy. You can see my photos taken on the trip, though.
I want to write a review of Wicked Lovely and Ink Exchange, both by Melissa Marr but again… nothing happens.
It’s like all the sparks have gone out of my head for the moment.
I’ve had the same problem with writing The Superhero Diaries. I know exactly what comes next in the story - a pissing contest (not literally, just a “lay ‘em out and we’ll see whose is bigger” thing) between two Supes (over the catching of airplanes) and then the introduction to Georgie’s family. I’ve only just settled down the names of her stepbrothers (Callum and Paul) but her mother and stepfather keep eluding me. I kinda see “Steve” for him so that’ll probably stick. Her mum is still gone.
As you can imagine, that blows. I have entire scenes in my head waiting to go, all laid out but I can’t muster up the energy to sit down and type. I’m in my worst stage of procrastination.
I thought about writing a blog about job-hunting but what would I say? I applied to loads of places and got rejected. I am either over-qualified or under.
Basically life kind of sucks. And to make things even worse… my Pikachu gets wiped out by Lorelei’s Dewgong in one hit. And there’s only four levels between them.
Hmph.
Holy Blog Of Doom, Batman! I just totally realised I have not updated this since people stopped clapping and Tinkerbell died… You would not believe the fairy dust I have to clean up. I prostrate myself in sorrow and beg thy forgiveness..
I am totally exhausted with responding to fanmail, a ticking crocodile, just generally being a terrible burden to the secret service, my day seems to be a litany of stuff and giggles from lunchtime to midnight. I am plotting and planning. maybe tomorrow.
I will try to remember I promised you I will try to remember my blog password more often in future. Sorry! Don’t hold your breath though, you’re likely to turn blue..
As you might have guessed, I am a lazy blogger, just like Aisling, Sean, Britney and probably many more.
Seriously folks, I have been a little wiped lately. I went and saw Australia and I’ve been staying with a mate and watching DVDs. I’ve also been working on my next writing project, The Superhero Diaries. So I am up to something. Really.
My real last words are these: I am not dead yet but I need to go to bed… it’s almost midnight, and I’m nodding off in my chair.
Last year Crystal ran a challenge that was to read 28 books in 2008. While as of this writing I see no signs of a challenge of 29 books in 2009, I am going to undertake it on my own.
I’ve spent a little bit of time yesterday and today beating the crap out of BellaBiblio, Jem’s wonderful book cataloguing script. As well as wanting to change some fields around and make it work for movies as well as books, I also wanted it to work within a page created by Wordpress.
It turns out it wasn’t as hard as I thought it might be so that really gives me hope of writing a script some time this year - I still have no idea what I might actually make, though. Help?
Anyway, to see what I have done thanks to BellaBiblio, check out 29 Books in 2009 and 29 Movies in 2009.
