I know, I know, my original plan was to write in here at least twice a week. Now it's been close to a month since my last post, with nary an explanation as to why I've been silent.
The thing is, my character has been unusually active lately, to the point that I have to start investing in things like maps, white boards, and extra notebooks to keep pace with her... .Right up until she comes to a standstill because she is not sure where she goes next. I can't even begin to explain how much the story has changed, and how much she has, as well. I'm still hoping to get my first draft finished by the summer Solstice, but it means that I will be going out and about a bit less to meet my deadline.
I've been making quite a few changes in my diet and exercise routine, which has also contributed to me not wanting to sit in front of a computer for an extended period of time when I'm not at work, and since work requires my attention there....
In short, I do feel bad that I have not been writing as much. Between my own life shenanigans and the current events that I keep seeing (Net Neutrality, it's a thing. Seriously, go Google it if you've been living in a cave to avoid the weather's insanity), writing this has taken a back seat. Hopefully I can get back to it when my first draft is finished. We shall see.
In other news, I rearranged my living room today. It's actually made it so all the furniture that was haphazardly strewn across the place with no real order now fits in a somewhat logical way. I still need to work on my desk, and figure out book shelves, but I can say that nothing is sitting in the middle of the room with no place to go. There were some minor adventures while accomplishing this feat, because I managed to break something near where where the cable for my TV/Internet comes out of the wall. Took a few hours and a side trip which resulted in a new pair of shoes, but I got that fixed all by myself. =)
My car also broke down again. Apparently the bearings for the water pump were gone, and the water pump broke at the pulley. With luck, I got it fixed by an amazing mechanic I know from Ingress, and it's back to running again.
So, that, in a nutshell, has been my life over the past few weeks. I might not be making much noise on the social network sites, but I do still live!
