May. 7th, 2016 12:56 pmScott and Cordelia have gone off to see the new Captain America movie in Brighton with Scott’s sister and her family. The plan was for them to get breakfast on the way (they left with two hours before the movie started, and it’s only twenty minutes to Brighton). My guess is that they’ll get lunch on the way home.
I’m not feeling particularly hungry yet. I’ve had some Coca-Cola and some green Jell-o. Part of me really wants to sleep in hopes of staving off the headache I can feel starting, but I tried for about an hour and a half to go back to sleep after Scott and Cordelia left, and it just didn’t work. Maybe later on. I think that having Scott and Cordelia gone helps a lot which makes me really wish I wasn’t doing this on a weekend. I told the scheduling people repeatedly that a weekend would be bad, but I don’t think they believed me.
Scott and I went out and did a bit of Ingress last night. I really enjoyed being out in the relatively cool air. It’s been pretty warm in the house. Cordelia was pleased because it meant she had the house to herself for a while.
Scott was scheduled to go in early this morning. He was 95% sure that he wouldn’t have to, but when he tried to call at 11:00 to find out for sure, nobody answered the phone. He had to call five times before he got someone. They did say that he wasn’t needed, but he was getting pretty worried.
I ought to clean some of the ancient leftovers out of the refrigerator so that there’s room for the things I need to put in there later today, but I’m having trouble getting motivated to do it. Some of that is being tired, and some of that is not wanting to look at all of the food I’m not supposed to eat. I expect the leftovers are nasty enough that they’ll kill my appetite, but who knows?
I’ve been doing a bit more noodling about my various WIP, and I think I’ve figured out where I’m stuck on the rest. Some of those things don’t actually have any solution but to put the story aside for a while until I’m interested again (there are two PWPs that are languishing because I’m bored by the thought of writing sex for them. I don’t think there’s any advice in the world that can make that change until I’m in a different headspace). A couple of stories have stalled because I know the general shape but can’t seem to figure out the details of how to get from one point to another without inserting '[something happens to change everything]' in several places. I write pretty much linearly, so doing that bothers me enough that I can’t just write the bits that I know. There’s one story that needs research that I’m not sure I have the resources to do well as it would be set in Japan in the early 1990s. I really don’t think that anime derived knowledge would fly for that. Then there are a couple of stories that I keep saying I’m not going to write more of but keep adding to.
I will probably post my thoughts on those WIP here later. Maybe not this weekend, but at some point.
