Listening to the rain... Monday, October 18, 2004 I love rain. Anyway, does anyone else notice that when they write, they find themselves adhering to the season that they're writing in? It drives me mad, because, for me, at least, you know I'll be writing or re-writing during a couple different seasons. I started Balancing Act in winter, and so sometimes I'd forget and want to write a summer scene, because I was writing, for example, the second prolouge, in summer. Blue Moon was a fall book for the same reasons, and one scene, I found, when I did the re-write, had snow. Now it's fall, and Palace of Bone, a summer book, (and needs to be summer for more than one reason...not just because I started it then, and thought it'd be nice to have a book in a seaon I'd not done yet, but also because it takes place about the same time as Pilgrims of the Night...which has to take place in summer if it happens shortly before Balancing Act.) wants to become fall. I wrote a woods scene and had to re-write when I realized Minerva was bundling up. Of course, when you sit in front of your computer wrapped in three afgans, you tend to forget to write about people sweating. The earlier part of the day was spent cleaning under my bed so I could put more books under it. Some of that dust was thick enough to card and save to make a yurt. (Not really, but I liked the comment...well, there was one little piece that was thick enough to remind me of felt.) I keep stumbling across Livejournals in my reasearch of late. It's amazing...when I first looked at LJ, it was a journalling device that you had to get someone who already had an LJ account to invite you so you could have one, too. You couldn't just sign up. Now it's a thriving community. I'm tempted to syndicate over there, but don't know if syndicators get to have as much fun...you know, the friend lists, the interest lists, the level of communicating, the mood and music things, as a regular member. Also not sure if cutting and pasting from the blog to an LJ account so I could have all these things would be a proper thing to do...and you know I have a hard enough time finding things to blather on about without trying to hold down two accounts. I could embed a LJ into my webpage, you can do that now, but I've gotten rather attached to my blog. I was a pro member, so I feel like, I dunno, like I have a bit of history with it.
