Writing Chaos that is Me
Sanity is optional..... Sharp, lethal instruments always welcome
Playing Catch-Up is going to be the end of me... ;-)

I took two days of off air time and when I come back I get over swamped with information. It seems that for the two days I have been missing too many updated their blogs. My blog tour only finished with all the blogs on Blogger, which leaves my LJ people for tomorrow. I never knew life could be so hectic and I am so stopping adding people on my blog roll. I love new acquaintances, but I am getting a bit overwhelmed with the data. Anyways if someone thinks I am not showing enough on their blog, simply know that I am reading, but can’t afford to comment.

So let’s move to my life. Thursday got me drained with the German graduation party since we all passed the special German exam and now carry the piece of paper stating we can speak almost as good as a German would. The day put me in panic mode since I had no formal clothing and had to mix a strange combo with weird clothes. This reminds me that with the money from my summer job I will update my closet. Of course Thursday and Friday had me in another aspect since I went to a beautician about the dark spots on my face and I died, since she squeezed them and shocked them with electricity. Ouch!

Friday I saw my friend photographer/artist/sword fighter Svetla and drank wine in the Sea Garden among nature. We chatted about projects and how she was going to play into a replay of an old swordfight over my home city Varna in the medieval ages and I am so going to watch. We decided to start a web comic together and possibly create the perfect idea for anime and then sell it to a Japanese company and see our baby developed. But those are just wild dreams like my grand computer game scheme.

Friday brought many new books as well. Almost full list with cover art on “Temple Library Reviews”:
~ “Black Magic Woman” by Justin Gustainis
~ “The Summoner” by Gail Z. Martin
~ “The Blood King” by Gail Z. Martin
~ “Spirit Gate” by Kate Elliot
~ “Witchember” by John Lawson
~ “Brida” by Paulo Coehlo

I made a new decision. I will write my novel on a journal and then during rewrites revert to the PC. I found writing by hand to be more fast, efficient and gripping. The same amount of words, 1K to be exact, written on hand takes faster and I barely notice pass. My thoughts have time to fully form and my hand keeps up with my brain and vice versa. The PC makes my eyes hurt and I get distracted easily by Google. Bad Google!! So I am on the hunt for new journals and made my friend Alex, that amazing gal, to bring me some from her dad’s firm as they have too many, but I am not sure, because they have salamis on their covers. Considering her dad works in the meat product business is the bad side.

I decided to enroll in two new reading challenges, which will make me die! I know, but I would love to read all those books! One is the Jane Austin challenge, which I can win easily since it involves at least two novels and the other is the Classics challenge, where I have to read six novels. And on a side note I am a member of the Geek Week. I am a nut when it comes to books so I wanna socialize with people with the same interests.

Hah! I don't ahve that one, but would like to get one in time.

LOL, I'm the opposite! It's easier to type it first, that way I can make huge changes easier if I need to, and writing it on paper doesn't seem to keep up with my brain most of the time when typing it on the computer can. It gets kind of distracting though to have the internet on, so I try to ignore that option. Most times I'm successful. *g*

You've certainly been busy! I love the medieval ages! That sounds like fun!! Good luck with the reading challenges!!!

Thanks for everything. hah! I just think it's going to eb better for my eyes as well for my fingers if I start writing by hand and spend less time on the PC.

I used to not be able to write unless I was at my computer. That has changed recently though and I find I write better out of the house and in my little notebook. What I've been tending to do lately is write a scene by hand one day, spend the next typing it up and tweaking it and stuff. Sometimes I'll add on to the scene while I'm at my computer, but mostly I'll just write the next scene by hand. I'm not sure why it's like that lately, but hey, whatever works, right?

Everything changes I guess. Whatever works is perfect here. I will write my stubborn story, even if I have to stab it and drag its corpse on the paper, and then edit it until it's decent. Perfect is not what I want at this stage. There are always revisions for that, but I don't mean that I write so sloppy that you get the association of a baby writing.
