being female and the writing thing

[cornerofmadness]

I rarely go girlie but when I do it's more like a full on attack on womanhood. Maybe it was the spilling of the coffee into the gear shift or the car door slamming shut on my face today but I got kicked into the girlie thing. Got out my new shirt, pressed the robin egg blue silk shirt, bought two pairs of new sandles (blue leather and black beaded) and painted my nails (fingers and toes) in OPI's Greece Blue Me Away. Even dug out the toe ring (then remembered the doctor's appt tomorrow, well he can just live with it). I matched my skirt, shoes, shirt and toenails. This is so amazingly girlie I want someone to slap me.

On the other hand, I can't seem to come up with female characters! I've started a new short story (as a tester for a novel I guess) about a young psychopomp who's just angsting me into depression the little bastard. When I get it done, I'll share it with anyone who cares to take a peek.

ETA - LJ is being dickish again and links aren't working. if you're desperate to see that color just grab the link when it tells you page can't be displayed and paste it in a new window.

ETA - Link is fixed. Thanks psychic_warrior

God, I wish I had an original fic idea that interested me enough to write a short story about it. I get bored before I reach 100 words.

*sigh*

i'm at 700 words but the little jerk won't tell a cohesive story.

You're scaring me. Just so you know.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i'm sure of it

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

god, that's girlie. I don't think I've ever gone that girlie. In fact, I've been told that when it comes to relationships even, I think like a man.

Which depresses me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

trust me, that's usually me too. I'm no good at being the woman usually

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

sounds like me.

Trouble with the link is there is a trailing /, just remove that.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. usually that isn't a problem here. That's how lj does it with rich text (where I stole the coding in the first place) maybe they changed things...again

[psychic-warrior.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the example, but if you're referring to a specific page on a website, you wouldn't put the trailing slash.

For example, if I'm referring to just the default google page, I could do "http://www.google.com/"

But in your case, you were referring to a specific page. So it would be something like "http://www.google.com/ourpage.html" instead of "http://www.google.com/ourpage.html/"

Get me?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

got you and removing it worked so thanks. It also worked on coding back to other parts of my LJ that last time required the stupid slash in order TO work. Sigh
