Ha! No heart-attack scenes... yet. But I'll tell you what--I should be able to write characters experiencing great discomfort or pain more convincingly now. Or characters recovering from dire wounds, or that sort of thing. Should be pretty genuine.

God, seeing that sort of a silver lining is how you know you're a writer. ^^;;

Oh, yeah. I think EVERYTHING is grist for the mill.

Still, I won't consider myself a writer until I've published something. Somewhere. And I won't be ready to try anything like that for quite some time yet.

I just realized that one of my characters, who was one of my favorite ones and who I was really looking forward to writing, has no place in the story. Her scene has to be cut. I'm sad.

Haha!

But seriously. Every painful ordeal I go through, a voice in the back of my mind is gleefully chirping, NEW MATERIAL!! It's actually really annoying.

There's always a place in the story for a good character. And that's how Julius Caesar took over the USS Enterprise with the Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver...

I do the exact same thing. When I'm not writing, I'm thinking or talking about it. I had a month of no writing while recovering, so some thinking and talking got done. I have a writing friend that I speak with regularly--we spend about 1 to 4 hours on the phone at a time--and even that's not enough.

Wait... I don't recall that. Might this have happened on the one iteration of the show I didn't end up watching: Enterprise?

I took my last final this morning!! Yes! Done with school for an entire month. Now I actually have time for writing and drawing stuff that isn't for school.

Wasn't in Enterprise that I recall.

As writing practice I write wrestling and fighting fiction on Deviantart under the name Fatehound45. It helps to write something totally unrelated to my WIP.

I believe that Alyssa was being facetious. It's like the time Davy Crockett stopped the Germans from bombing Little Big Horn at the Battle of Yavin.

Awww... why do you have to ruin my fun . I love the Dune references by the way!

Didn't mean to spoil the fun, so maybe this will make up for it:

Dune is my favorite science fiction story and the 1984 film adaptation is my all time favorite.

In my opinion, Frank Herbert is the Tolkien of science fiction.

Or like the time Darth Vader choked out Mike Tyson during their dogfight over the skies of Ankhara during the battle of the bulge.

I thought as much, but with Trek, you can never be absolutely certain.

Dune ranks very high with me as well. One of the all-time great books. The sequels... not so much.

You know you're a Christmas-loving LOTR nerd when you take the time and effort to translate "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" into Sindarin. I already have the first verse and the chorus. I regret nothing.

That sounds ridiculously fun in comparison to writing a paper on agricultural policy...

...Otherwise it's probably still pretty fun

I seriously just terrified the cats with my kitchen karaoke performance of Melissa Etheridge's "I'm The Only One."

According to Maya & Autumn, I better stick with the writing.

I want to design a Harry Potter bookmark for my sister for Christmas, but I also want to do nothing. And my last final was yesterday and I'm still caught in the "feeling guilty because I should be doing homework" thing. Bleh. :/

Come on. You can't do that to us. How can you leave us hanging like that?
