Aug. 14th, 2004 01:04 pmLots o' work today. I hate urgent yet slow projects. I hate the "hurry up and wait!" thing this book is doing.
I made zucchini bread that refuses to get cooked all the way through. It's vegan, so undercookedness won't kill me or anything, but it's a little too moist yet in the middle.
I accidentally did something in the post-apocalyptic fairy tale that makes things harder for my character and more interesting for the reader. I LOVE it when I do that. She had a kind of fling with someone who later joined the bad guys. I put that in so she could feel guilty about breaking it off when they could really use inside information. Then I tra la la'd off to another part, came back to my girl, and had her snoop around Bad Guy Central and get saved by someone who has something they want. Then my brain went, "*poing* HEY! One of them knows her quite well by description. They'll know exactly who she is." Am I lucky, or smarter than I think? I'm going with the one that lets me sing "I am so smart! S-M-R-T, I am so smart!" :-D

shoebox_project. The first installment made me laugh so hard I almost went and closed my window so Mr. Next Door, who was sitting on his porch, wouldn't think I was a complete lunatic.
