Head To Desk
Apparently, I have been a very, very bad author. All my characters are refusing to talk to me and every last plot bunny just up and died. I am tapped out, nada, zippo, zilch. I have nothing rattling around up in the old cranium.

In other words WRITER'S BLOCK! Oh and that pitiful whimpering in the background, would be me feeling sorry for myself.

I have only one character who is talking to me regularly and she's not talking in novel form she is gushing and angsting at the same time and it's all your pup's fault. If he weren't so good for her, I'd hate him.

What I was going to say but I hit post instead of preview, is that Woody made her stop and think which led her to lighten up a bit. So now she gushing and angsting over Michael and having a ball twisting Woody's tail.

Then you need to step back and ask yourself "Do I like what she's doing?" Don't wimp her into being a crybaby by giving into the angst. Keep her strong. Make sure she stays someone you won't mind having in your living room having coffee with you (I read that somewhere in a writer's workshop book eons ago).

Right now it's just minor silly angsting over Michael and how fast she's falling for him. She's kind of pushed the big stuff back in a corner for a bit. A mental vacation from months of running and trying to deal on her own.

That is why I let her fall for Michael, I wasn't happy with the way she wanted to wallow, every challenge response she wanted to do was about Ben and how she was responsible for his death and how her life sucked. I refuse to do emo Becca.

You know I might find inspiration in another chappy of Masquerade????? Barring that, you could always hit me with a Greggo.

Looooovvveee that Greggo. Yummy slashy goodness in a corset and makeup. Is there anything prettier than a guy in makeup? I'm off to read Masquerade right now.

Hey,

This is Re. Okay, so, my hotmail account is being stupid. It doesn't send my e-mails to you. So, I'm adding you to my LJ. Can we communicate through LJ comments?

I hope life is good, that the fam is okay, and all that jazz. How's the writing going?

Adios,

I don't see why we can't chat through lj although the darned thing just sent me this notif today. I'll just refresh the page when I get on and check to see of you've commented.

The writing is going pretty well, I think, I hope, darn hope I didn't just jinx myself. :) My family is doing well, Mom is really doing much better now that she's back in her own house again. She's still out of it but she has more lucid days now and even when she's not really connecting with the present she's more talkative and more involved with what's going on around her.

I haven't been reading much on fanfic because with dialup it takes forever to load pages, but I'm planning on sitting down soon and reading all my author alert stuff.

Hope things are going well for you and I loved the forward you sent about the soldiers, I cried over it and showed it to my brother (former USArmy, Desert Storm) He teared up too and he never cries. I forwarded it to everybody I could think of.

We are part of a growing national consensus that the United Kingdom’s energy policy is unbalanced, and that the drive for renewable energy generation has been inadequately planned, a fact that has resulted in a developer-led industrial feeding-frenzy that is http://www.squidoo.com/tits-big neither green nor sustainable. It is improbable that this current broad-scale industrialisation of the countryside will bring about any significant reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases or meet the long-term energy needs of the UK (as laid out in the Feb 2003
