I amuse myself, at least.

I haven't gotten to watch the Doctor Who NYE special yet, although to be fair I haven't seen anything since Donna got dumped back on Earth with her memories of the Doctor gone because that just pissed me off too much, but I do follow everybody else's spoilery reaction posts out of curiosity.

I will say this, though. What amuses me most, as someone who's a very casual DW fan at the most, is ( cut for spoilers, just in case. )

My Project Runway DVDs are here! My Project Runway DVDs are here! My Project Runway DVDs are here!

Oh, well, so much for getting anything done today. :D

A quick head's-up

It's not exactly a New Year's resolution, but I swore I'd straighten up ye olde friends list -- I have a horrible habit of not friending people back -- so I just went through, friended back a TON of people, and dropped a few people who hadn't updated in a while, hadn't friended me back, or deleted. (No hard feelings, just making room.)

If anybody wants me to friend them back again, gimme a holler.

Status of the writer

It's day two of getyourwordsout and I haven't written a word.

What I've been doing since yesterday is foundation-building. I've got seven different WIPs in my 2010 folder and not one of them is starting the year with more than 10,000 words in it. Three of them don't have any words in them. I have an outline for The Hollow Girl, but the other five stories are basically ideas with no real frames at this point.

So up went the shipping paper, and now I've got spots up on the living room wall for me to sketch out outlines on. Progress!

(Er, of a sort.)

I think what's really bugging me right now is that I'm a bit stir-crazy at the moment. I want to go out and do something, or at the very least go for a walk, but of course it's cold and windy and I'm broke. What I really need to do this week when I get paid is invest in a membership with the gym that just opened up in town -- well, they're calling it a gym, but it used to be the local hardware store and it's kinda small -- because they have treadmills and I just want to be able to go down there and walk, walk, walk to my heart's content. It helps me think when I put on my headphones and just walk like that, and it relieves a ton of stress, but of course I hate going out in the cold so ... well, there's a reason I'm wound up in the winter.

I have to work overtime tomorrow, which kinda sucks because I feel like I'm going to go just in time to have the urge to write something. I just feel like if I build the foundation now, when I do have the time and the urge to work on any of these, I'll ... well, okay, knowing me, I'll get an entirely new idea and pound through it until I crack 50k, at which point I will abandon it and have writer's block for three blocks. Ugh, it's so sad I'm predictable in exactly that way.

Hey, why not? I could use the distraction.

Boosted from penknife:

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.
