not the best writing weekend

[cornerofmadness]

But at least I feel better today. All the pain is gone, as if the infection drained out over night (given the havoc wrecked on my blood sugar I'm betting that's more or less what it did)

Thanks to tests and class prep and all that boring junk, I didn't get as much written as I hoped. And part of it is my MC watching the girl he likes playing saxophone and thinking he wants to be the mouthpiece then having to hide his uh...interest from the girl's parents who are sitting behind him on the bleachers at the football game. Tell me again why I always write about teenaged boys?

Oh and I need a good, friendly nickname for a skinny boy. The one I'm using now is the same one I'm using with last year Nano's skinny teen boy.

Bones? Streak? Beanpole? Skel?

And glad to hear the pain is gone!!

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

First that popped to my mind was, "Beans."

"Yo, Beans!"

"Hey, Beans!"

*Shrugging*

He's giving me the evil eye saying first you name me Killian. Half the school calls me Beer Boy. My girlfriend calls me Kill, which I'll admit is macho but Beans? Think I'll ever act right if you do that? :-P Damn touchy teenagers

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Just don't go and sick him on me!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Bones and Beanpole are used here. Skel? I'll assume skeleton (though here it tends to mean a criminal) Streak?

Actually Bones would work if not for that damn show where they refuse to call Temperance anything BUT Bones. Even the ads...

and thanks

shrimp would fit because he's not only skinny he's short

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you'll know him when you see him. He's about 5'6", skinny enough to see all his ribs, black hair blue eyes, celtic knot work tat on his upper arm and a bad attitude :-P

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

I got an inch on him! And that's flat-footed.

Bring-him-on!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you can take him. He's used to being hit by his guardians. he's likely to just take it then mouth off later

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I feel bad.

I'll just give him a hug instead.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

He'd probably like that. He's not been hugged since his mom died when he was 5

*Head Desk*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I've killed her. Yeah he's a tragic little character in the hands of tag team sexual predators

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Are you trying to depress me? Today---won't take much!!

This is you Na fic, right?

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

We don't get that show here - I only know of it from what my flist says. Streak as in "long tall streak of pelican poop" (and I have no idea where that comes from). But Streak is often used here for skinny tall people. Unless he's short of course..

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he's quite short. A long tall streak of pelican poop? Oh, nice. That's just cruel and very funny

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes it's the Nano fic.

Killian is a depressing little boy. He's also plagued with visions...including the deaths of his only friends

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

What's the theme/summary of you story? You have me all interested now.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

It's YA set in Madison.

Killian's first day of school holds two unexpected things for the new kid, people who actually want to talk to the new kid and the kid who tried to shove him into a locker turns up dead later.

Ben and Tazia, werewolves, decide to make the new kid welcome. tazia is convinced Killian isn't a killer. Now to make her homicide detective dad believe that.

And Killian's visions are no making him look any less guilty

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Did I read some of this? Or did I read something similiar? I seem to recall another werewolf story of yours. Or is that your 'thing'?

This sound very good by the way!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I don't think you've read any of my original fic. It might sound familiar since I spent the first week of nov. babbling endless about my Nanonovel

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Let's see what I remember..

A werewolf-man-indian maybe, in the woods. He drank or was drunk, and then some locals kidnapped him for his pelt or something. Something the wolf had a high price on the black market or something.

Sound familiar?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh THAT. You got that from my website. That's Wolfskin. yes that one was a story I've sold professionally

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

Phew!!

I was starting to think that I had imagined it!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I was wondering if I had just forgotten what I sent you. I do that A LOT

[married-n-mich.livejournal.com]

You and me both!
