Feeling Frustrated

Hmmm, today...not as productive as I would have liked. I don't know, something feels off... like the inspiration wasn't exactly here today (and I know I shouldn't complain because most days of the year I have it up the wazoo). Today was just one of those days where I felt like I lost my mojo (hehe Donna)!



I got stuck on...you'll never guess what, OMG Chapter 1-the literal bane of my existence. But luckily I was able to move on and write a scene that takes place much much later in the story so it wasn't a total waste of a day. Now that I have a new super sekret but no soooo sekret anymore structure (ahem Donna...I wonder how many times I need to mention your name now to get you to comment) ...ok focus. Now that I have a new structure I have a brand new set of challenges before me. Where do I start? How do I start close enough to the begining of the plot arc and introduce the setting and my HUGE cast of characters? Its a little different every time. And this time feels very different, thanks new structure!



I think I might have it down-well not down, but the seed of what will grow into the chapter 1 I need to write, but we shall see...



Just watched the top twenty dance in So You Think You Can Dance. I was thrilled to see Wade back choreographing for the show-yay! And the one contemporary Mandee Moore piece was amazing!!! But the new Russian ballroom guy Max...ehhh. So to make up for that and cheer me up after an eh day of writing, here is Pasha from Russia, from season 3-my number one dance crush! He's in total dork mode for my FAVORITE performance of his with Lacey to the Junior Boys "In the Morning"

I think I'm making that same face when I think about my plotting and color coding my subplots.

Also Richelle Mead Fans...check out the new Vampire Academy Website at Razorbill. Hot! She's doing an online chat tomorrow at Bitten by Books, and there is a poll where you can vote Georgina from Succubus Blues as your favorite heroine (which she should be, she is awesome!)
