REVISIONS - ch. 39 and the flooded engine
I would have finished 39 today -- and I also would have been at the bokken workshop -- but I had to go to the office instead. The engine is flooded. The story is stalled, by dint of my brain being a quagmire of mathematical quandries. It doesn't look like I'll finish it this week.
And I'll be heading in again tomorrow, which is actually today, but who's counting?
Watched Dead Like Me -- well, watched the pilot -- and caught myself thinking, "Goodness, this is like Wonderfalls but weird in a different way and with cussing." And then -- no surprise, the writer/producer/brainchild is Bryan Fuller, who wrote the first Wonderfalls episode. But of course.
Despite all attempts by who knows what power to destroy my writing time, I hammered and wove five pages when I got home from work, and I wrote enough to nearly finish 39. I am trying to break out of the ruts I throw myself into -- the obvious patterns one takes because one reads a lot of adventure fiction and this is how EVERYONE writes this sort of situation. So we'll see.
I know, I am making no sense, but please forgive me. I suffer from a biscuit-induced head injury, received over Thanksgiving.
Monkey.
