Not again...

Every year. EVERY year for some asinine reason I either forget or can't participate in free comic book day again. I forgot to go again today. I slept in because I was so tired, started playing some video games and then I looked over at my comic book and it hit me. Picture me screaming clichéd Hollywood "NOOOOOOOO" as I fall to my knees and crumple into a ball on the ground and roll around like a wounded animal. Yes, wounded animals roll around. On the ground. Screaming NOOOOOOO.

So...my plans were thwarted again, but at least I get to go on vacation tomorrow for a week so I'm not too upset. Probably won't get much writing done, so I'm trying to pump out at least a little bit today. I have a new plan to apply for manuscript writing. Despite my forgetfulness, I don't give up easy. I'm thinking work stories this time around. They seemed to be my most successful ones from my other writing classes. I need an outline and some writing done on it. I'm also thinking of using completely new material. I won't recycle like I did last year.

WMRR has been going through some changes. I know EXACTLY how I want chapter 12, so I just need to do the rewrites and filling in for that. We'll see how silly it sounds when it's finished. Chapter 13 is done, but needs a better ending. The one I have at the moment is pretty awful. Chapter 14 is off to a good start, but I have one hurdle to flail over before the words flow the way I want.

It's going to be intense guys. So, very, intense. I am super excited.

My geek week would have been over today with free comic book day so...yeah. Comic con, Avengers midnight premiere, cosplaying and posting tons of LP videos have shown me that I've fully embraced my nerd identity. I'm so proud of myself.

Avengers was the most amazing movie of my life by the way. Well...maybe second most amazing. Lord of the Rings is hard to beat.

Gotta Catch 'em All

Strains of flu. I've had three different ones on alternating weekends. I had the Norwalk this weekend and my glorious record of not puking in over 10 years has been shattered mercilessly. Aside from grossing all readers of this post out, I have been working on an outline for the rest of WMRR. I realized why I can't write chapter 13 yet (aside from overall lack of motivation and business). I actually have no idea what to do with it. It's a transition chapter. I need it to get some of the info out, but I have no idea which perspective to do it in and HOW I'm going to convey that information. All the other ones (save for maybe 1 or 2 that I'm uncertain of) have all been plotted out. I also decided what needed to be rewritten, revised or outright deleted. The trick is just starting the chapter. I know it will come to me once I start writing, but I'm just stuck on how to proceed. I suppose you can call it writer's block, but I think it's just hesitation.
