In fits and spurts

[cornerofmadness]

That's how this day went. I'm busy with getting tests made but man that takes time and dulls you out. I also got all the edits (except for the one to add in a scene) done in the novella and I planned to do the novel tonight and...I sat down at 9 and it's suddenly nearly midnight and I've done nothing. Huh. I don't even know what time warp I fell into.

I wish I could do the editing on my netbook but the open office and the tiny screen make it impossible (well difficult and unpleasant) at least I know I would have no internet distractions. I should just turn it off here but I'm weak.

I still haven't even looked at my edits. I've wasted a day and a half and I MUST do it tomorrow because I know I have to add in at least two scenes. Damn it's hard to do that if your brain says the story is 'done.'

I did get some writing on nano and bigbang at the library while the landry washed. I forgot my laundry soap. Sigh.

I also just finished a book that made me cry. On the other hand, I've wasted a lot of time on a book that is like pulling teeth to read but I paid money for it...

Snippet - He seems to like the younger ones.”

“Probably easier to control,” Reanna said.

“More likely tenderer and moist,” Placid said. He flushed as he realized what had tumbled out of his mouth and at his companions’ horrified looks. “Sorry, but I was raised in the country. There is a difference between calf, kid and lamb compared to beef, goat and mutton. It just stands to reason it might be the same with humans, at least in this guy’s eyes.”

“It must be hell inside that head of yours.” Killingsworth made a face.

It's not hell, it's farm life! - Placid

I went shopping. And it exhausted me. Of course, not having any protein all day probably helped with that. -_-

You're a freak - Howell

Carbs alone will do that. Right now I can feel every beat of my heart in my head and it's worse when I lie down...

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I am not a freak. My mother had me tested - Placid

Yes, the soup did have cream, but that was it until almost six in the evening.

Don't make me ask your brother - Howell

right

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

You can ask him, or Mel - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I will - Howll

(btw like the icon)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Do. - Placid, wondering what he'll have to pay to Mel and his brother to lie.

It's nice, isn't it?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Calling now - Howell

it is

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Placid folds his arms.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you really want me to do this? - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm not stopping you, am I? - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Fine. - Howell dialing

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Placid knows this is going to end badly, but remains stoic.

Hello, my name is Howell Killingsworthy. I'm a friend of Julian Longstaff. Who may I have the pleasure of speaking with? Ah, Katherine, can you see if Mr. Longstaff is in. I have a quick question - Howell.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Julian comes on the line...."Hello?"

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Julian, it's me, Howell, Vi's brother. Your brother is here trying to tell us he's not a freak and your mother had him tested. Is that true? - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yes, she had him tested. He's not a freak. He's like that naturally - Julian

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

so he was born a little left of normal - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Or you could say he's eccentric, and a genius - Julian, figuring he can now rake Placid over the coals

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah no, see that's Wakefield and me - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Frankly, sir, my money's on my brother. - Julian

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he's suggesting the killer chose kids because they're juicier and more tender to eat - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

The younger the animal, the more tender and sweet the meat. - Julian
