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.

So, you're rewriting the rules of the wager? - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

No, that's always the way it goes. If you want something added into a wager you make it at the time of the wager. I suppose we could always call Dr. Honeycutt - Howell

If you want to disturb her at work, by all means, go ahead. Just be prepared to have your head ripped off. - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I shall wait until she returns home - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Placid makes a note to make it home before Mel does, and butter her up. - Good plan

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

All right then - Howell making plans to assign Placid some late running job

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Placid will have to ask off early from higher up. - I have work to do

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yes I kow. I assigned it = Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Mm,hmm. But I've already got off early this afternoon, and it's been approved higher up than you - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

You do NOT want me to get Capt Winters in here, do you - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Captain Winters approved the leave. Insisted I take it, even - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Bull. She just told me you were done with leave. try again - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

My leave is approved. - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I don't bloody well think so. we're in the middle of a case - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

And I have leave. Approved. And I am taking it - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

SInce I have your orders on my desk from the captain, I know better. Seriously if you make me call her, she'll probably kill us both - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I don't lie about leave - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and it was okayed on what reason since this is a full on task force - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Doctor's appointment - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Fine, you do that. I think I'll give Dr. Honeycutt's secretary a call and see if she'd be available to consult - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

...good luck with that - Placid

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

She might enjoy being a police consultant especially if she thought she was helping her boyfriend - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

She might - Placid, thinking more like she'd murder Howell through the telephone line

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

She seemed very nice the several times I've met her at your brother's - Howell

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

She is. She's always nice. - Placid grins at the inside joke.
