All I want to do is finish the edits for The Blood Queen, but my muse keeps throwing ideas at me like mashed potatoes in a food fight. My story idea folder is getting rather fat, let me tell you, and the sad thing is I don't know when I'll have the time to work on anything in there. I'm already jotting down ideas for the second book in the Tayce series. I tried to tell my muse to shut up...but she promptly bitch-slapped me. I think we all know who the boss is (I showed her...yeah).
I whimpered about losing in a fight to my muse to my very good writer friend, S., who told me that she's been having similar problems. I think there's a muse union somewhere and they get together over Frappachinos and chortle about how to make life difficult. Although S. mentioned her story involved hot firefighters and I can always go for a guilty pleasure read that involves hot firefighters. Maybe S. needs to weaken, after all, doesn't the muse know best? :evil:
Don't worry, I've been good with my editing. I managed to get quite a lot done today. If I buckle down and get into the editing "zone," I'm actually quite good at zooming through editing, but getting into that zone is a chore. Oh, and sometime soon I need to upload some of my pics from Phoenix Comicon.
In other news, I'd just like to say to the shockingly huge amount of spambots that have been trolling my site lately: F-you. I will not approve your comment, no matter how much it may mimic real people speak. I see the URLs, I notice that they all go to BuyMyUselessCrap.com or whatever. If there are real people behind those annoying spam comments, please think of my poor bleeding eyeballs and overtaxed Askimet and stop posting. Real comments make me shiver with pleasure, but you spambots make me wanna kick something.
I really like the layout of your blog. I think I might need to switch to wordpress from blogspot. After creating my first ever blog entry, I have a lot of admiration for your ability to write about yourself. You make it seem so easy...I find it quite hard to be eloquent and witty when writing about me! Any tips? Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDelete@Rory: I just told myself I'd be more honest. :P I'd like to be more witty, truthfully. I wish I could make a blog as funny as Scalzi's Whatever. Granted, I've been lax with blogging lately. :-|
ReplyDeleteI actually had a Blogspot blog waaaay back in the day, when Blogger first opened (and wasn't owned by Google or Yahoo or whomever). But as I learned more about PHP, I wanted more control over my own webspace. I really like the options Wordpress has, and they do have really pretty themes (which is nice since I've been lazy about making/updating my own lately). They offer free webspace (like Blogger) as well at Wordpress.com.
By the way, I need to email you. But I just popped on for a minute before having breakfast. I'll talk to you soon, OK! :)
