Bad Skyla

Yeah, so remember how I was going to NOT write a single word on the book after Wounded because I know it needs time to gel and stuff in my head for a few months?

Screenshot of my desktop just now:

*cough*

I have this issue when a new book and new world is hounding me--as soon as I know the narrator's name, I Must Write It. I can't ignore it past that point.

And then there's a point when I don't want to work on something at all, but it's circling my brain again and again, and then suddenly I'm in the scene and I know how it starts...

Yeah, I couldn't not write the words. Total insanity over here--I'm blaming the six hours I spent formatting manuscripts for ebooking today.

I might give the first chapter a shot this weekend, and then I should be so burnt out that I can go onto something else. Incidentally, the song that popped on iTunes when I broke open the file and typed a couple of lines? Syrup and Honey by Duffy. I swear the "Baby, baby, baby, spend your time on...me" part was the MS calling to me.

Comments are moderated. I have a strict policy of No Douchebaggery and/or Trolling. You're free to disagree with anything I say, but your comment may or may not see the light of day (depending on the content of your comment and my particular mood). Any blatant trolling is immediately deleted with the offender's ISP info added to a personal file called In Case of Trouble.

I go through comments as often as possible but receive a ton of spam, so please be patient if your non-douchebaggy comment hasn't gone through yet--if I don't know you, you're not on my auto-publish list so I have to check by hand. And if you're a troll with nothing better to do than try to pick a fight with me, for the love of god, at least learn how to fucking spell.
