LOST was fantastic last night. Sysenlaw pointed out to me that the guy they’re holding in the hatch is named Henry Gale. She wanted to know if I thought that sounded familiar and it hit me all of a sudden. Uncle Henry! From The Wizard of Oz! We’re wondering if that’s intentional or if the writers are screwing with us.
I had a nice evening last night. After LOST, I tried to watch Barbara Walters, but I couldn’t get into it, even for Patrick Dempsey (who’s come such a long way!). Instead, I actually sat down at my computer…and wrote. I worked on the dragon story and you’ll note I have changed the sidebar to reflect progress. I’ve decided to definitely put away MAGIC for now and NGD and just concentrate on the dragon story. My goal is 60,000 words and to write a chapter a week. Better get on the ball since the week is nearly over. I did finish the first chapter and started the second last night. Not much writing, but writing indeed. I am so proud of myself.
Anyway, my brain was like on overload or something. After I wrote a little, I watched the end of Pride & Prejudice since I fell asleep before it was over the night before. LOVED it. Then since it was nearing midnight and I was still wide awake, I started on another contest entry. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. It was rather boring and though the writing wasn’t bad at all… I dunno, the story was just…blah. If that makes sense.
I think tonight I’ll work more on the dragon story. I’m starting to think I need an AlphaSmart to unplug myself from the temptations of email and the ‘Net. Dang I wish I could afford one right now…I need to save my pennies.
For now…it’s time for more coffee.

Why do you think God invented Credit Cards? 😀
Do it. I absolutely love mine. LOVE it. I take it with me to B&N and the park and anywhere I go. THE NEO RULES!!!
Congrats on the Dragon story progress. I wish I could say as much for myself! :loser:
There’s nothing like the feeling of sitting down at the computer and just writing – no matter the outcome. Glad you could get some work done on the dragon story – do I get a sneak preview when you’re done? 🙂

Lost…….I should probably blot at my own place but I’m too lazy. ANyway HG is so playing Locke!!!
THe whole Others is a set up to keep the crash survivors out of the other side of the island and they’re scientists. Have to say one of if not the best Lost so far this (sporadic and slowly frustrating me to death) season (did you hear me JJ?)
sorry… don’t watch Lost… but have been trying to write – keep at it – it’s riding a bike. when you’re done for the day, your ass hurts and but if you did good, you’re miles away from where you started. :hyper:
I love my alphasmart. Although, I should get it out more often and use it :dunce:
blot–blog! LOL *blush* I want a NEO!! :thumbsup:
