If it's not one thing, it's another. Right now, it's real life drama. Blah. I like to write drama and watch drama but not be physically a part of drama. The drama has semi-negatively affected my muse. She's not a fan of real life drama either.

Writing: I say semi because I'm at post-rescue and haven't moved forward. However, I've gone back to earlier chapters and added descriptions. My bar finally can be visualized now. Yay. I need to give my antagonists last names and descriptions. I have one in mind, courtesy of Koyla from the Stargate Atlantis years, but the other one, I haven't visualized yet, except he's young, mid-twenties - too young to have ruined his life, according to my protagonist.

Reading: I'm still reading Crossfire and it's still enjoyable. I used to read books in a couple of days but with the drama, household chores, and of course my own writing peaks and valleys, reading is a pastime that I don't get to indulge in as much. Anyway, the protagonist of the story has now had intimate relationships with the main male character, one of her ex-partners when she was on the police force, and a guy that could be a suspect not to mention she was divorced and went through an "out of control" state for a while. I learn through these examples what I don't want in my story. My characters have met - four years ago - but no intimacies occurred, other than they were both physically attracted to the other.

TV: I'm loving Warehouse 13, and Leverage debuted for their second season last night. I saw some of it and liked what I saw. I also have the first DVD from season one X-Files. I don't know about Dark Blue yet. I read some negatives but the review was still hopeful. I haven't watched the episode yet so I have no opinion.

I love my new layout.  Credit is in my profile. 

I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday. Yay for almost the weekend.

Yesterday was a stormy day, but today is just a dreary, rainy day, which means I have a sinus headache.

There is one particular section of my story that my characters hijack and do their own thing. Before I know it, the scene is no longer mine but all theirs. Over the weekend, they decided that they weren't going to wait for their first kiss. I think it may be too early in the story for this kiss, but I let them "act" it out. The scene is written in a way that I can snip that part out, but sshhh, don't let the Muse know this. The problem is that if I lose the kiss, it'll be a while before I can write it back in since they will be separated and in the mix of a dangerous situation.

I started reading Crossfire by JoAnn Ross last evening. It's interesting so far, and of course, I'm looking forward to the two main characters meeting. :)

Time to focus on work.
