Nov. 3rd, 2008 12:17 amSummary of my novel so far:
"[Character does something such as pick up a camera] rambling rambling rambling rambling rambling rambling for like a thousand words [characters does something such as look out the window] rambling rambling rambling rambling rambling rambling forever and ever" repeat endlessly. It's like it takes me a thousand words to get her from three feet away in the hallway to inside her bedroom. Slight exaggeration, but only slight.
I like my prose a lot actually, but it kind of worries me how literally nothing is happening. There have been a total of three short lines of dialogue in over 4000 words, virtually no interaction between anyone and anyone else, so basically it's like... Ponder, Analyze, and Remember Everything Time. All the time. In 90% extremely long sentences. XD
It's a good thing the Literary Fiction forums exist or I would feel very strange and very alone in the way I tend to write.
Anyway, looking forward to things bleeding into unreality. You know what, to hell with reality. I'm starting unreality craziness now. It's as good a time as any and I'm going to fall asleep if I don't start making this transition soon.
Also, I've got stuff on Ebay. I doubt any of you would want my brother's old video games (or maybe you would, I don't know), but I've got an extremely lightly used DVD of The Place Promised in Our Early Days up for cheap. I got a second copy of it, so I figured I might as well sell off one of them: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/pacificpika_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ
I will ship internationally as well~
I bought an Eevee plush tonight that was probably a bit more than I should be spending currently, but it happens to be a super-rare adorable one that I've never ever seen for sale. Ever. So I just had to snag it. ;3;
I'm really looking forward to the election! Mom and I are going to an Election Night Party at the Miner's Foundry (which is a cool historical building downtown), which I think will be a lot of fun! ♥ Well, at least it will be if Obama wins. I can't say the same if McCain were to win on some fluke.
I also hope Proposition 2 passes. ;___; I hope everyone here who is Californian votes Yes on it! And No on 8 of course, but I don't think there's a single person on my friends list who would vote yes on that. Well, same to voting no on 2, but I figured I might as well bring it up anyway.
Back to noveling!
