If they can do it...

A wise writer once said to me
"There's no such thing as writer's block.
Only writer's embarrassment."

Words to live and write by.

The truth is out there... some of it is even in my blogs.

In which I think about time

Gah, I think someone has laced my life with sleeping pills. I am very grateful for the extra hour we get tonight. I hope I remember to get the clocks all turned back properly. What if you could actually turn back an hour, time-machine style. But you only get one. Which hour would you pick, or would you save it for later?

Ok, it's getting to be do or die time, isn't it? I'm still floundering for an opening since I abandoned the Athena idea. Maybe something will come to me in my dreams. Might be nice to have useful dreams. Someone once told me if they thought about things the right way before they fell asleep, they could get serial dreams that told a story. I could never get that to work for me.

My big problem at the moment with the beginning is how Calli and Justin get tangled up with Danny J and the Netherworld folks in the first place. I think I'm pretty clear on what happens after that, but it's the inital entanglement that is eluding me at the moment.

Finished Something Rotten. I definitely prefer the books that take place in the "real world" rather than the "book world" but I'm still not ready to move him out of borrow-from-the-library status to buy-as-soon-as-possible status. Sorry, but the last one (style="font-style:italic;">Well of Lost Plots) just really made me pause.

Ok, so I'm still burying myself in books this week. I think it's a "read 'em while you can" sort of thing. I can't imagine having a ton of time to read once NaNo starts! Below the Root is next--I think that's one folks ask for a lot on the lost book services, so I thought I'd try it.

Ok, that's 10 minutes, not 15, but I'm having the sleepy problem again, and it's worse than last night. I wonder if I'm getting sick. I'm going to go grab my extra hour while I have the chance.
