Good news: I’ve written 4300 words today. Bad news: only 1300 of them have been on HEART OF STONE. The rest have been…I struggle with what to call it. It’d be fanfic if I actually wrote the whole thing, but I’ve RP’d for so long I don’t actually have any particular interest in writing a whole fanfic; someone else has to do the other half. So I guess it’s a ton of introductory scenelets or something. Anyway, it’s all the mutant Kit‘s fault, and it was a lot more fun…

apparently…
Apparently my brain is fresh out of give a shit. I got 1300 words today. I got 1300 words yesterday. At 1300 words both days my brain said, “Ok, fine, that’s it, you’re done,” and sitting there at the computer, whether staring at the word processor or solitaire, did nothing except impress upon me that I just don’t give a fig. I want to have this book done, but there seems to be a wall against working on it for too long, possibly because I am sick to goddamned death…
character nookie
My characters are trying to go off and have sex without me. *pauses* That sounded all wrong. Anyway, I was working on rewriting the end and the next thing I knew Margrit and Alban were getting all *raar*, and jeez, I hadn’t even gotten them to the bit where I’d planned for them to go all *raar*, so now I figure there won’t be later-*raar* and instead something else will happen. It’s moving along, though, which is what’s important. I’ve got this whole new scene to write, and then…well. Not…
oh cool!
I swear I’ll go watch some LFN after this and stop spamming the flist, but I just got email that the interview I mentioned a month or so back has been posted, so I thought I’d, er, well, spam the flist and let you know. , you’d specifically wanted to know when that was up, so there ya go! Fittingly, there’s an X-Men geek question in that interview. :)
mutant Kit gene
This will make the most sense to … From the BBC: Scientists say they have demonstrated that animals can defy the laws of genetic inheritance. Researchers found that mice can pass on traits to their offspring even if the gene behind those traits is absent. The scientists suggest RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA, passes on the characteristic – in this experiment, a spotty tail – to later generations. The research focuses on a gene called Kit, which comes in two varieties: “normal” and “mutant”. This explains everything!
