Naah.
Since I already fell into a couple of ditches in Week One, I think I deserve a moderately spotless Week 2. Well, I wish anyway. But I already know what my characters are doing. (Kind of). And I have a sketchy idea of what lies beyond the horizon. Even though, I'm scared of what lies there, I'll do my best to try to communicate my invaluable ideas with my crappy writing. See, I'm not all that pessimistic. My ideas are good. My writing. Not. :D
I'm already concerned with my storyline though (Don't read past this point until you read past chapter 4!). I always have this thing where I have one girl character and one guy character. It doesn't change a lot and it's bothering me. I can't have every single novel have two major characters: boy and girl. Weird and repetitive. And another thing is that I like the atmosphere I created with the office building "slaveshop". But my characters all want to run away from it. I jsut can't force them to stay. I mean, sure it's not a great place to be in, but I spent time thinking about this setting and its social structure and I'm not just going to have a measley 5000 words in it. Since my main pov character is Cade, I can't do any thing about it, and it's driving me nuts! All she wants to do it to stay out of there. But all I want to do is put her back in there and though what she experienced all over again. *sigh*
(you can start reading again) I finished On Writing. I think I'm going to have to scan some passages out of it for future reference until I maybe buy the book (maybe b/c I usually don't buy books). Honestly, I think the end got too personal and a bit sloppy, but the rest was very good.
Yesterday I was quite prolific, writing 3409 words (versus 1030 on the day before). I was trying to win the weekend challenge of writing 5000 over the weekend... but failed by just 600 words. So sad, I know. Someone came home early and cut off another half hour I could've had to write. But I did learn one thing from this ... don't try to write late at night... I'm great at about 7pm (about now - can't wait to go word war) , but dead at 10pm. Now that I think about it, I was always terrible at writing my essays late in the evening. But I did write major ones in the very early morning before. Maybe I should try that? Wake up at 4am? O_o
I'll probably write again in a few hours, about the end of today's writing.

haha i actually had enough self control to not read the part after chapter four. so i have a prediction that saj is also a slave of some sort. but i dont get why he kissed her cuz he seemed all caring adn stuff adn then he just kissed her so he's kinda two faced and confusing. hehe his car was a fire truck :P but yeah i think im getting the system better now
hmm I think the car breaking down scene was excessive... I had all teh details because I was in a car problem that day. the firetruck was spontanious, I love it.
