ravenswordHere we are on Friday morning and my allergies are making me crazy. My eyes itch and weep and I look like I'm crying.
Ugh.
Of course, it doesn't help that I was working on the whole converting The Jealous Sea into original fic thing and got to writing a character sheet for Merchant (who's name is now William Stevenson), and there were tears because of his pain and his love and his every move leading him inexorably toward the end....and no matter that he will return in many shapes in the future to come, this first death is beautiful and difficult and the pain it leaves behind is jagged and beautiful and fearsome.
And yes, that is me getting all geeky and meta over my own characters.
And yes, I did actually cry last night while playing with it.
Anyway.
I am up to April 2009 in the archiving process and I stumbled across "Super Pretty Awesome Man and the Orgy Ray" this morning. I forget sometimes just how cracky that shit is.
Also, finding a lot of time stamp bits at this time in history. I really do like doing time stamps. I'd post one, but lately folks haven't been responding to meme like stuff much.
I really need to find a way to come up with another $200 a pay period. My life would be SOOO much easier then.
This weekend's agenda includes a lot of cleaning, some scheduling and writing. The writing will include starting an outline for the non-fiction project as well as work on either the Pirate or the Rysykks. I have a few more things to do with the pictures I took last weekend before I am ready to upload them.
But for now I should get myself to work...
Some questions for you on a Friday:
1) Type the first words that come to mind.
2) Describe the closest person to you.
3) Who is that person?
4) What is the first book you remember reading?
5) What is the last book you remember reading?
6) What is the first book you loved?
7) Are there any books you can read over and over again?
8) 5, 6 or 7?
9) What (or who) inspires you?
10) When was the last time you said "I love you" and to whom did you say it?
Ugh.

Date: 2013-02-22 05:22 pm (UTC)2. 70+ woman dressed all in black currently on her knees on the floor (no, she's not a nun and this is not church—she can't hit the wastebasket to save her soul, so she's down there all the time)
3. Unfortunately, she's my co-worker/office mate and we dislike each other intensely. I wish she'd retire and I'm pretty sure she wishes I'd go jump in the lake.
4. A Fly Went By by Mike McClintock
5. I'm reading Under The Tuscan Sun right now, just finished Born in Death by JD Robb
6. Gee whiz, what book HAVEN'T I loved? Um, kid book I'd say Little Women. First 'adult' book, probably Gone With The Wind
7. Several. Gone With The Wind tops the list, really. I've reread it more times than I can count. When rereading, I tend to read the parts I like best, not the entire book most of the time. Sometimes I just pluck a book off the shelf and open it up and start reading.
8. 6
9. Writers who can get what they want to say down on the paper/screen and have it be meaningful to someone else. People who go after what they want in life. People who overcome adversity.
10. Last Friday. To my best friend (who is one of the 'overcame adversity' people who inspires me).

3) n/a
4) I have the clearest memory of reading The BFG, it was in infant school, the teacher had stepped out of the room.
5) The Salem Witch Society by KN Shields
6) Oh god.. um... When I was like 7 i was SO in love with The Hardy Boys
7) So SO many. Lost Souls by Poppy Z Brite, Last Chance Saloon by Marian Keyes and Queen Of The Damned by Anne Rice are regular re-reads
8) 6
