| I hate trying to come up with chapter titles. For "Red Rain", because of the overarching theme of dreams, I've been (so far) using song lyrics from relevant songs. So far, I've grabbed a line from Fleetwood Mac and two from Van Halen, but I'm *REALLY* drawing a blank as to what fits chapters 3 and 4. And, while there are a whole bunch more relevant songs (ye gods are there ever!) I don't really want to crib from too many different ones because they do all feel different. *sigh* I shall crack it, I'm sure. ( Beware For This Is LOOOOOOOONG ) | ||||||

| ( Beware For This Is LOOOOOOOONG ) Right. Lunch will be ready shortly. After I've eaten, I think that a spot of tidying is in order and I *MIGHT* go out to do some of the photography - but that depends on what the weather does. The edit of Chapter 4's also a pretty good bet for this afternoon. | ||||

| For the second morning in a row, the cat dug me out of bed. Today was better than yesterday (it was 8am rather than 6am) but I'd had a disturbed night in general so even though it was later, I probably only managed the same amount of sleep I'd gotten when she got me up yesterday. *sigh* And, just on top of that, I'd got my timeline all nicely plotted out (in colours, no less!) only to realise that in addition to a confirmed Thanks Giving episode (which means late November) I have an episode that's fixed to mid/late October...which would be less of a problem, but for the fact that the majority of my timeline events slot in between the two - into less than a month. AAAAAAAAGH. So that'll be me having a rethink, then. (and the irony is, the later date in October actually works better for the 'b' plot of Red Rain) ( Beware For This Is LOOOOOOOONG ) Right. I'm going to inhale my coffee and get on with sorting out the timeline and the outline. | ||||||

| Well last night was FUN. Not. I was writing until 1am (did manage to successfully wrap up what I was working on - which is something!) so it was a late night and I'd hoped to sleep in this morning. Soooooooo naturally, the cat decided at 6am to start her "I need to pee" dance. Went back to bed after putting her out, finally got back to sleep at 7am only to be woken up at 9am by the bother holding forth. *sigh* Still, for all that, I have managed to get some stuff done and, assuming my eyes will continue to cooperate, I'm aiming to do some of the outlining work to get THAT out of the way. ( Beware For This Is LOOOOOOOONG ) Right. With that updated, time to go email my beta reader about Learning to Fly and then time to get out my hammer and nails to fix my timeline up! | ||||||||

| Well, strictly speaking, no it doesn't, given that I'm in work today - but, equally, given that I currently have no work to be doing...yeah. My plan for the week off is fairly straight forward. I need to do a LOT of writing, there's a fair amount of tidying to do, I need to give a day or so over to photography for a Christmas project and there are various other Christmas projects that need to be DONE in this week so that they can be posted well in time for Christmas. It'd also be sort of nice if I didn't spend the entire week "at home" as-twere...but THAT bit is going to depend quite heavily on what the weather does. With that in mind, I'm going to put up a mahoosive list of everything I need/want to get done so that I have something I can keep updated and to give me an incentive to get stuff done (cos nothing looks better than a list with everything crossed off!).

| Hi I first want to say thank you for going forth and doing Yuletide this year and wanted to tell you that pretty much whatever it is that you end up gifting me will undoubtedly be fabulous. I have tried, this year, to give a little more idea of what I'd like when I made the requests so I don't have much to add - but there are a couple of things so, here we go. I have to admit, I tend to prefer plot over porn, but I don't mind romance and, as long as it's in character, I don't mind what variety of romance that is - het, m/m, f/f. Whatever best fits what you're writing :) Fandom 1: Marillion - Clutching At Straws This is one of my all-time favourite albums and, if you're not acquainted with it, I do quite strongly recommend it (even if this isn't the fandom you've offered for me), just as a great album to listen to and write to. As far as the request goes, anything goes. Fandom 2: Norse Mythology As I said in the request, anything really does go, but I do have to admit that a Loki-inspired misadventure that requires some sort of rescue, or a situation where Freya gets to be the kick-ass War Goddess would really, REALLY rock my socks. Other characters from the myths are welcome, too, but my main interest is in the four I picked out. Fandom 3: MASK They're the only two ladies on the show and they're both so frequently reduced to cyphers so any exploration of their characters would be cool. I suggested a meeting at a bar, but I'm open to anything. Given that Gloria would know who Vanessa was, but not vice versa, you might have fun with that side of it, too...or you might know the German translations where everyone knows everyone *grin* Fandom 4: Diana Wynne Jones - Dalemark Quartet The only thing to add here is that if you do go with "what happened next", I do have to own that I'm a sucker for a positive ending. I don't say happy, necessarily, but an ending that has lots of hope and good stuff, even if it's bittersweet in some way. Once again, though, thank you - as I said at the top, whatever you come up with, I guarentee I will love. Happy writing! Athersgeo | ||||||

| One of my NYRs was to finally fully import all my CDs into my music library and, hence, onto my MP3 player, and I'm happy to say that this is continuing apace. I've now got 319 albums imported in some form. (Actually, it's probably more like 350; 319 is the number of separate album folders, but that doesn't take into account places where I've combined a disc 1 and a disc 2 into one album!) I'm not sure, at this point, how many more I've got left to do. I think I have in the region of 100 more CDs left loose and unboxed, but MOST of those probably have already been imported, but I've still got to check them against the database and then box them up. Given that, I'm kind of hoping to be able to wrap this up well before the end of the year. The problem is, it's such a tedious process - and that process is really, REALLY not helped by certain record companies putting copy protection onto their CDs. It's taken me well over an hour to finally manage to import the soundtrack of "The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe" which has involved first importing it to Windows Media Player, then burning a copy in WMP then RE-importing it into SonicStage. All because Disney want to prevent people making illegal copies. Still, at least I have been able to get round that. I know that I have at least one more CD (the Spiderman OST) that has full copy protection on to the point where it won't actually play in a computer CD player as well, which is also annoying - but it does knock one album off the list of things to be copied, so...not all bad. Right. Time for lunch, I think, and then I have an afternoon with my needle planned. I have Christmas presents to sew and they won't get done if I'm still sitting at this 'puter playing with CDs... *grin* | ||||||

| So, what with one thing and another, I haven't been posting here much in the past couple of months. Seems like I should probably do a catch-up post (particularly after last night's spectacularly EMO thing), the trouble is, there isn't a lot to catch up with. My life has been spectacularly boring in the last couple of months. OK, there was getting to watch England regain the Ashes (alas from the comfort of my living room rather than the sunbaked stands at The Oval but still!), and there was the fun (or otherwise) of redecoration going on (the dining room needed it, so mum and I did it - and it does look good now) which meant that my desktop PC was out of action for most of August so I do have at least a small excuse for the absence. But it is only a small one, given that the laptop and the work PC have been working fine (well, the laptop was once I got the new power cable sorted out). There's been stuff I've *WANTED* to post about, but when it's come down to it I just haven't put finger to keyboard because...well that's the tricky part. Some of it's motivation; some of it's timing (I write a LOT of LJ/JF posts when I'm driving); some of it is that, deep down, I wonder if there's anybody who would actually give a shit if I posted or not. Maybe there is and maybe there isn't. The only way to find out is to post. So that's what I'm going to do. I have some less-whiney and more musey stuff about CSI that I'm going to pull together for a post over on LJ; I also need to pull together my writing and try to figure out where I'm going with that. (Doesn't help that, just at the moment, the CSI ficverse I'm working on is completely eating my brain.) That means that, at some point (and soon), there'll be posts to both LJ and DW about that. So from no posting to glut of posting. And maybe things will start heading for normal. That'd be nice. | ||||||

| ...and close my eyes, d'you think the Numb3rs bunny will hop it? I mean, it's not as if it's fully formed. In fact all it is, right now, is a desire to write one specific character. That's not a plot bunny. Right? RIGHT??? Augh. Anyone who knows both Numb3rs and my ficcing history should be able to guess in an instant which character because, YET A-FREAKING-GAIN I'm being drawn to the damaged guy (mind you, in Numb3rs, that actually fits 'most all the characters in one way or another) with the interesting past. This is definitely getting a little silly. And yet, every time I try to stray away from that character type, I end up drifting right back. Maybe I should be more surprised with the characters who haven't pinged my fic-bone. I mean, by rights, I ought to be a Bashir writer for DS9 - which I'm not. For that it's Kira all the way (and someday I might even manage to write the biggie story I've had in mind for her, if I can just get my head around the Cardassian politics required). diNozzo from NCIS is another likely suspect, but as I tend to spend at least half of every episode wanting to smack him (!), I can't see that happening (and plus the level of research required is more than I want to bite off so, all in all, quite glad at that lack). Eric Delko and Danny Messer off the other two CSI shows could be a good bet - in fact there might have been the beginnings of a Danny-shaped bunny, except that other things got in the way, like seeing 'Gum Drops', while Delko, by virtue of being on CSI: Miami, never really got a fair chance. (Rather dislike that incarnation.) Then there are those who did snag my attention but who I never ended up posting about. I still have the fic-bits related to them floating around on my harddrive. So many of them also fit the 'type'. And then there's the couple of guys in the real world. Which is different - but not that different. And sometimes I catch myself wondering "What if"...and maybe that's why I keep diving back into fanfic because at least with the fanfic guys, I'm in charge of those "what ifs" and I don't have to wonder. | ||||||||

| It's bad enough that I've quite clearly gotten a brand new fandom out of the mess that has been this summer. I always knew that if I ever started watching TV like any regular person that was liable to happen. (I'm still crossing my fingers that Numb3rs and Flashforward don't spawn as well. One new fandom's quite enough at the moment.) No. What's WORSE about this situation is that, apparently, my subconscious has known about this new fandom - or at least, about my fanficcing plans for it - for longer than the rest of me. Precisely HOW much longer is a little debatable, because dreams are tricky buggers to pin down, but the probability is it goes back to May - and it could very easily go back a lot further because, while I didn't think too much of it at a time, the first episodes of CSI I ever saw were the Grave Danger episodes and Daddy's Little Girl when they first aired here. No prizes for guessing where in the timeline my story's landing. And there are few things in life more disconcerting than writing three pages while all the while thinking "I've written this before". And, given the way the story arc is developing, there is a huge, HUGE irony in this - in the idea of my subconscious knowing before I do. I think the only appropriate response here is: *insert scream* And, on that note, back to the story my subconscious has already written, in the hopes that my subconscious might actually let me catch up now... | ||||||||

| The BBC believes most people will have read only 6 of the 100 books here. How do your reading habits stack up?

| Radio silence for most of the month. Not entirely of my own volition, either. Work's been busy (annoying, but busy), home's been busy (we're beginning to redecorate the dining room so my desktop computer's been hidden under large numbers of dustsheets) and - just to make life REALLY fun - my laptop's power cable died during my week off. Which would be less of a problem if my laptop actually had any battery power, but the battery is crap and 5 minutes is all I get, which meant that while I could verify that yes, it was the power cable and not the laptop itself, I couldn't make back ups of my current projects. So for the past three weeks, I've been stuck completely as far as writing goes. On the up side: Work might be calming down a little now and the new power cable should be arriving from Acer any day now, so normal service should resume fairly soon. Suffice to say, though, I shall be happy to see the back of this year, one way or another - and it's still only July... | ||||||

| I was going to go out for a day trip (or a half-day-trip - or something) today, but the weather is miserable - and I have a strange objection to getting soaked... Thus, here I be. Which is not, in itself, a bad thing, I guess. It gives me the day to get a handle on the writing tasks I've set myself this week. Which I really should get on with, rather than hanging out online randomly websurfing. Particularly seeing as I have an extra day's cricket to contend with - randomly the first test is starting on a Wednesday instead of a Thursday. On the one hand this is good: it means I'll get to see the whole of the test and I'll have more time for the cross stitch stuff. On the other hand, I'd been rather counting on three non-cricket days! Right. MUST get on. | ||||||

| I'd forgotten how much sawing something can hurt. My left hand is now killing me. Still; I'm well on the way to accomplishing some of my major tasks this week - and it's only Monday! So far I have... 1) Acquired all the bits for mum's birthday present (this is where the sawing came - don't ask) 2) Started the switch to Gmail and set up Gmail to come through as a POP3 account so that I can continue to use OE (still got a looooooot of mailings and whatnot to switch over from Blueyonder, but at least I've now got a viable alternative and it's ready for use) 3) Finished J's Christmas present (I did this one yesterday while watching Gloucestershire get creamed *sigh* It had to be good for something!) 4) Got the zip for the wren cushion 5) Made a start on V1's Christmas present (granted, all I've done so far is a teeeeeeeeeny tiny chunk of the picture, but the aida is tacked onto the frame and the pattern's been copied so I don't have to juggle the book and the frame at the same time, which did take me a little while to sort out - the frame and I are uneasy allies at the best of times!) What I plan to do with the rest of today... 1) Vacuum up the sawdust 2) Measure the box for the lining and cut out 3) Clean the box and do a first coat of paint 4) Measure and cut the fabric for the wren cushion 5) Work on Freya's Daughter With that in mind, I need to get down to it as there needs to be lunch in there somewhere, too, and I need to make sure that all the mum bits are hidden before she comes home! | ||||||

| I have a whole, glorious week off - the first proper time off I've had since March and this will be the first week off I've had where I'll have the house to myself (the cat excluded!). Going to be a little strange, I think. I've got a list of things that I want/need to get done (naturally - not for me is the idea of lazing around beside the metaphorical pool!), which I'm going to plunk down here so that I can keep a better track of it than I would if I just left it in my head. -Sort out GMail and do the switch over - this is perhaps the most important thing on the list as my current email provider is really getting on my wick -Finish A Woman Alone - more on this over on LJ -Get cracking on Difficulties for Francie - more on this over on LJ too -Write the first 10,000 words on Freya's Daughter's rewrite - more on THIS over on DW -Make a birthday present for mum which will involve... 1) Sewing the pattern 2) Acquiring and painting the box 3) Buying a yard of fabric for lining 4) Sewing up the lining (If this all sounds a lot of work, it actually isn't; none of it's complicated, but for obvious reasons, I can't exactly do it while she's around!) -Create three Christmas cards -Make a start on V1's xmas present -Finish the sewing on J's xmas present -Try out the other camera (possibly, I'll go down to Cheddar or maybe Glastonbury - something so that I get some fresh air and have something to photograph!) -Make up the wren cushion cover (this is my pretext for getting the sewing machine out!) If that sounds like a LOT of stuff to sew, the first Ashes test starts on Thursday, so Thursday and Friday will largely be spent in front of that and cricket is near perfect cross-stitch background. So that's what's planned. We'll see how I do. Now off to DW to babble about FD and LJ to babble about the fan-writing. | ||||||

| 1) Hay fever sucks at the best of times. When your eyes are so defective as to not water, however, and yet the pollen is irritating them to the point where, by rights, they should be streaming, believe me it's WORSE than sucking. I've spent most of the week with eyes that just haven't wanted to work properly with the added side fun of being generally snivvelly and snuffly. *sigh* 2) I'm also going through a rough patch with sleeping and whatnot. Some of it's cat induced. Some of it's not. All of it's irritating and all of it means my energy levels have been all over the place this week - and probably been made worse by me reducing my caffeine intake again. With any luck, though, THAT will lead to better sleep which will lead to things picking up again. 3) Been busy so far today. The bathroom is all sparkly. Downstairs has been vacuumed. The kitchen's been tidied (just got to clean the sink in there and I'm done there, too). The living room's been tidied and I've finally switched armchairs over so I'm now in a better place to sit for cross stitching purposes. Of course, in relation to point 2, I'm now feeling like I could just take a nap... 4) Lunch in a moment. That may well perk me up a bit. Might also have some tea which will help, too. 5) This afternoon is for CD imports and writing, I think. 6) If the weather's nice tomorrow, mum and I might go up to Slimbridge for some fresh air and duck shit or maybe a wander in Blaise Woods. *ponders* That'll be tomorrow's problem to resolve, though. 7) I've now got a DreamWidth account as well (also Athersgeo). I did a post about what I'm going to do, content wise, with the three accounts earlier on in the week. If you didn't see it over on LJ, take a wander by for all the details, but simply put, this journal's going to become basically all my personal stuff (which isn't really a great change, I know!), LJ will be for fan stuff (and keeping up with everyone on LJ) and DW will be for my original writing stuff. I think that's everything. Time for lunch. | ||||||

| Well. Yesterday didn't go QUITE as I thought it would. Not in a bad way, either. Did the tech support thang, managed to fix the problem (horray!) and headed home for lunch, fully expecting an afternoon of writing and occasional cricket watching. We'd been plotting a run down to the West Somerset Railway for today, if the weather was nice, to see Tornado* (that would be the brand new A1 steam loco). When we finished lunch, mum suggested that, since it was nice weather THEN, why didn't we head down there for the afternoon. So we spent yesterday afternoon down in a place called Blue Anchor, watching a combination of trains, people and plants. It was a lovely afternoon and lots of fresh air - which meant BOY did I sleep soundly last night! - but not quite what I'd planned *grin* So thus, today, I have A Woman Alone to write (which I'm going to settle down to in a moment) and then, this afternoon, I'm going to do a full plot up of the rewrite for Freya's Daughter so that I can begin working on that. Ideally, I want to also get more of a handle on The Mask of Arthur, too - but as that's the third story in the series (even if it is comfortably the biggest of the trio!), I'm willing to sacrifice getting that progressed if I can be ready to start the Freya's Daughter rewrite tomorrow. I also want to be ready, around about 5pm, to do some cross stitch while I watch England almost certainly go out of the Twenty20 world cup - but that's easily arranged *grin* So. Time to get on with the writing instead of procrastinating on here. *This is something that we wanted to do on our own account, but we also wanted to do it because dad didn't. He was a huge steam enthusiast and he was extremely interested in the A1/Tornado project. I don't *THINK* he donated to the fund to build her, but he'd followed her progress and had entertained some thoughts of going up to York to see some of her steam tests earlier in the year. Ultimately, though, he never did and...yeah. I think he'd have been pleased yesterday. | ||||||

| So far today I have... -Got my tyres checked -Emptied the crap out of my car including fifteen different CDs (none of which were in the right boxes!) -Filled my screen wash reservoir -Removed the bug smear and finger marks from the inside of my windscreen (no, don't ask why the bug smear was on the inside...) -Begun the next round of the great CD import kick Still to do this morning: -Play tech support for one of my mother's colleagues (hence the icon) -Find the fabric I'm going to use to make up a cushion cover with (and possibly buy a zip and the cushion pad) -Clean the bathroom -Tidy this desk -Make a stab at getting some more of A Woman Alone written so that I can post tomorrow Out of everything on the list, I think that last item is the most important one as that'll be me getting back to business and that should help me with what I've got intended for tomorrow... Having said that, though, I don't want to get started writing only to have to leave to do the tech support thang, so it'll have to remain pending until that's done. *sigh* And yes, I could have said no, but...meh. It's an email problem, so it is something I've got a fighting chance of knowing how to fix. With that decided, time to switch out CDs for copying and get on with tidying the desk. | ||||||||
