Restless day
Jan. 29th, 2005 05:49 pmI don't know what's going on; today I've been completely unable to settle to anything. I've flitted from watching TV, to reading a book (in fact, I've started reading three books today), then to trying to do some writing, and then I got bored again... so I organised my slashy photos. Now I'm trying to find the writing guide I bought yesterday to do some of the exercises from it. It's been in the house for a smidgeon over twenty-four hours, and already I can't find it. I shall get very cross with the pixies if they don't bring it back pdq.
It's not all bad though; I now have a nicely organised set of pictures (albeit with a huge imbalance towards pictures of Kirk) and a fully-plotted story. I've also stumbled across a rather cool site, The Blue Quill, which is a great resource for fanfic writers. I already have a grip on most of the subjects covered there, but some of the examples have really made me think. 'Tis worth a read, and as all the examples come from the Xena fandom, I'm now really wanting to re-watch some early episodes of Xena.
I should really go and make dinner -- I wonder how far I can get through that before I get bored?

Surprisingly, cooking dinner soothed my mood. There's something restful about cooking meatballs; I guess it's the repetitive action?

So: *huggles Ang*
Good to hear that you're better.
