daily life

Arright, I added the TQB scene this morning, and I quite like it, and it takes care of a loose end that I now won’t have to deal with in the second book. Since I’ve already got about fifteen characters whose stories need telling in PRETENDER’S CROWN, it’s something of a relief to have that particular bit wrapped up. Whew. :) And the book is 146K. I know I have friends who will mock my puny wordcount, but damn, that am a lot of book! Sunday evening I went over…

Can anybody make a guess as to why, when I try to change LJ layouts, it completely borks on the front page of mizkit.com? I’m using javascript to embed the LJ into the index of mizkit.com, and it works if I use the Flexible Squares layout, which is what I’ve /been/ using, but I’m really very bored with it (although I still like it best of any of the LJ layouts, sigh) and so I’d like to try something else. Only I’m too damned inept (or LJ is) to make…

Hey, don’t I know that girl…?

I did my map! Yay me! :) Ted and I also put together the new shelves for my office, so that room is starting to be unpacked for the first time in almost two years.

It would clearly, to her, be herself. Oh, there are *details*, sure. The Rogue thing, for example. I didn’t get…

er, well…

It wasn’t my fault, you see. It was a brand-new sketchbook, and it seemed like a shame to do a work-related drawing first thing in it. So I did a little drawing of my nephews the superheroes: Sorry for the quality. I can’t actually find the power cord for the scanner, so this was photographed and uploaded, and I can’t get the greys to go away without washing out the whole drawing. Which is going to be a problem when I have to upload maps and comic book sketches, hm.

rebellion in the ranks

My brain appears to be being rebellious, and I’m not sure why. Two of the items on my to-do list, the map and the Chance page, are really very easy. A couple hours’ work at most, and probably not even that. For some reason my brain keeps going NOOO DON’ WANNA. No clue why, unless it’s a bad case of finishitis. If I finish the map, TQB’s Done (except that new scene I need to write). God knows why this would be alarming, but perhaps it is. Similarly with the…
