End of Chapter 2?

So, finally finished all my edits in all five of my scenes!  Thank GOD!  It's not that I don't enjoy writing.  I really do.  It's just now that I know my characters a bit more I think I would like to move on to something new.  I know I'm probably bitching for no reason, and that this is all for the best but I like to bitch every now and again. 
Right now I'm writing character profiles of my characters to fill my time.  I'm learning that I have a lot of twisted shit running around inside my head!  There was a line last night that I never would have imagined I would write but I did!  I don't know whether to be proud of it or deeply ashamed.  Part of me feels guilt because the thing I wrote is a cruel taunt to an (imaginary) person who has strong religious beliefs.  True I don`t believe life is butterflies and rainbows but where the hell did this dark thing come from?  I often ask myself these kinds of questions when something pops in my head like that.  I do tend to lean towards the slightly shadier parts of the emotional landscape.  I'm a pretty happy person most of the time but then something like that pops up and I doubt myself. 
The one thing that bothers me about the line is that I actually wrote it!  I didn't want to, but then I thought, it was a good line.  I wasn't trying to copy anyone and it was something original to me.  It might make it into the next book I write.  If I ever get to it!  Have to finish this one first!

Jello

So almost done the scenes in Chpt 2.  One more scene left and then I'm free!  Free I tells ya.  I mean for chapter 2 and maybe three.  Or one and two?  I called this post jello because once the scenes are knitted together and I've finished the the first five chapters there will probably be room for improvement.  I've decided no matter how this book turns out, I'm going to try to get it published.  The worst they'll do is say no.  After all this work, I think it deserves a go.  I mean, Florence has put a lot of her time in it too, and I owe it to her to at least try. 
If I don't get it published by a publisher, I'll just put it up on Amazon for a few bucks.  My hope is to one day write something that actually counts.  Something like Mistress of the Sun.  I would love to write about Charlotte Corday.  I like her.  She may have been a dreamer but she tried to do what she thought was right.  *Sigh* will have to hunt for books about the poor girl. 
Cheers!

Groundhog day!

So yeah, this won't be a post on the groundhog.  It's more like an update as to what has been going on since I last posted.  It's been a busy end of January/begining of February. 
I turned thirty-three last Saturday and on Monday went out with my friends to a Pajama Party themed Girl's Night Out at The Melting Pot.  Fondue is yummy.  While there I saw and awesome psychic who was pretty much right on the money about everything.  Very cool.  He hesitated about me getting published though.  *Sigh*  I'll try anyway, just because I'm stubborn.

I haven't attempted the love scene yet, but I think I might have a go at it during the weekend.  Dad will be home so that'll give me an opportunity to do some stuff on my own.  I should probably finish reading some of my non-ficition books.  Fuck notes,  if I do that it'll take forever, and I remember that when I was a kind all I did for notes was just read and remember interesting stuff.  If I forget something I'll just flick through the pages and try to find it on my own.  At the very least book mark it.

Other than that, welcome to February:).
