update

Not really anything to post, but I'm trying to keep up the blogging habit and not let things slide as I have a tendency to do. Basically I've just been at work. I have been very good in going to the gym - 4 times this week. My muscles are sore but I do feel better for going, even though I'm sure my personal trainer is trying to kill me!

I went to Walk the Line on Tuesday which I enjoyed muchly. Don't often come out of a movie singing in my head. It never bothers me going to the movies by myself. It's nice going with someone else, but sometimes I like to go alone. Especially if I'm not sure how I'm going to react (as in Passion of the Christ) or if I think I'm going to need time to digest the movie afterwards (e.g. Brokeback Mountain) Apart from the fact that I shouldn't feel as if I need to be deprived of seeing movies just because there isn't anyone available to go with. Sometimes shiftwork is a pain in the butt for this reason. I work most Friday nights and weekends when my friends would normally go. Plus, I always get to pick the movie! That's an excellent advantage. *g*

I'm on nights and tonight looks as if it's going to be a very long night.

Starting to have a minor panic over my story. It's not coming together at all. I have 9 days to finish and have it edited. I'm thinking I might have to go with the other one I'm working on - depends where I have the best ideas. I have a third one I could post as it's probably the closest to being finished. It just needs a few touch ups and I need to alter the end slightly to make it a bit more realistic and to leaves things a little more open. I know I shouldn't be panicking too much - after all I did survive NaNo, and some of my better writing has been under pressure (seems to help the creative juices flow) but I can't help it. I think where I've been struggling is tossing up between what I want to write (story #2 ) and what I should write (sequel) Because I currently don't want to write the sequel I think I'm feeling rebellious and I don't even want to look at it. I've tried writing out a plan of what I want to achieve in it, but it hasn't really helped. I'd scrap the whole thing if it wasn't for one particular scene. I think it will be an okay story once it's completed, but it won't be one of my favourites. Story #2 has some of my NaNo writing so I'm very excited about that.

My niece and nephew are going to play rugby this year. I'm a bit worried about my nephew - he's only a wee dot. My littlest nephew has started walking and has quickly moved on to running. I knew it wouldn't take long until he'd get going.

6 hours to go. {sigh} It's going to be a looooooooooooooooong night.
