Funky Cat Studio

Current Mood: bored

I think once I start waking up at a decent time (you know, -before- 1 PM) I’ll do my SL thing during the day when my mom is at work (its too slow on my end when they’re both on SL) then do my other things for the rest of the day.

Movies!

Today though I watched Get Smart (totally awesome and perfect!), Evan Almighty (really funny!) and I just now finished Ironman.  I loved Ironman.

“This is perfectly safe…. *BLASTS off screen* …. I was not expecting that.”

Knitting!

So good thing I brought my Ravenclaw scarf along.  I worked on it a bit on the ride of here and got another set of bars done.  I’ve got 2 more sets to go then its done!\

Writing!

Also going to be working on a new book project for Q’lanth.  Well its not exactly new.  I wrote it earlier this ear I think and its the story of Adrian, starting at the age of 13 when.  Katie read it as the prolog to my trilogy but I think I’m just going to roll with it and turn that into the beginning of a book to preceed the trilogy (or is it proceed? damn headache…).  I’m going to title it something about Rose, Blossoming Rose or… something.  Because its about Adrian turning into who she is when the trilogy starts.

Haircut!

I may get my hair cut properly Wednesday.  I didn’t mention it before but I cut my own hair a couple Fridays ago.  I had a total lapse of sanity and just did it.  It feels soooo good short but it looks like crap.  Really though I’ve never been a hair person…. I’ve only truely liked one haircut my whole life.  There was one more after that that came close, though.

What I want is something fun and funky! I actually found a picture done in Pose of a gal who has hair like I’d imagine Zyra’s to look after she gets it cut and that would be totally awesome hair.  Its too bad I can’t cut it like that.  Why, asks you? Nobody has any clue what I try to tell them what I want my haircut.  >.<  So why bother?

Damnit all, I forgot my hairspray at home.  I was going to bring it and play with my hair some.  Ah well.

…

So yeah.  That’s that.  Just gonna take some chill time.

Current Mood: exanimate

Yeah, you read that right.  I’m going to list out all the similarities/differences between myself and my characters.  Why? Because its my damn blog and I’ll do with it as I please! ^-^

I’ll start from the top.  Whatever that means in this case O.o

Similarities:

Adrian: Alcoholic and other vices. Me: I could be easily so I’m just going to quit while I’m ahead.  And… I’m working on those other things.

Adrian: Has dark red hair. Me: Everybody says my hair is red but its -not- you fucktards! Its strawberry blond and I don’t care what color strawberries are, because my hair does not look like god damn strawberries! grrrrr!

Adrian: She gets a little worked up sometimes and flings colorful words around. Me: ….. see my response about hair color above. ^-^

Adrian: Considers it a personal duty to help her close friends. Me: I’m very dedicated to friends and sometimes just acquaintances.  I’ll spoil you rotten if you let me.

Adrian: Emotionally distant/stand offish. Me: I’ve been told as much.

Adrian: Is bi. Me: …… well I don’t discriminate ^-^

Differences:

Adrian: She’s brave.  Me: I’m a pussy.

Adrian: Very smart and very well studied on many things.  Me: Smart but not that quick.  I know a little tiny bit about various things.

Adrian: Horny little devil.  Me: My sexual appetite is barely on the radar! lol

Adrian: Physically fit.  Me: Can someone open this peanut butter jar for me?

Hmm.  That’s all I can think of right now.  I had this post open for a few hours so I was digging for some of these similarities.  I’ll update this post later if I think of anything else.

Current Mood: flirty & horny & hyper

mmm… ;-)

-now- its starting to feel like NaNo! *looks at calender*  23 freaking days into it.

Usually I don’t get lost in their heads (mainly Adrian’s) this late in the game.  And luckily I got a bit ahead of my word count today and I didn’t even write anything to do with the story.  And it was EASY.

How, you might ask?

SMUT!

Okay maybe not down ‘n out dirty smut.  This was good old fashioned girl-in-shower-gets-dirty scene.  Not even -that- dirty, just a little.

*squirms in chair*

Is it warm in here?

*fans self*

Anyway.  It would make a good stand alone scene, mayhaps.

I’ve written at least 1703 words today to a total of 38808.  I really need to get in an extra day or two for some breathing space as The End approaches.  I don’t want to have to keep digging up smexxy scenes or even start the idea of smexxy scenes just for word count.

God how horny my characters must be >.<

Its only because they know now they can get me to write it now. They just want their private times, to relax.  Doesn’t everyone? ^-^

Note: Anyone I happen to really like right now should prolly stear clear of me until my mood is no longer Flirty, Horny and Hyper :-p  What a horrible combo to inflict onto someone…

*ahem*  Now that that pipe is unclogged, looks like I can get back to the actual story ^-^

Current Mood: ecstatic

Yesterday (Sunday) I had a very good day of writing. Just a smidgen over 5,300 words! I say very good day of writing because I haven’t written much lately. And I learned a lot.

Awhile back I started a “deleted scene” as we call them (makoes?) with the super uncreative title of “Adrian Meets Cydus”. Deep down inside I really just wanted to write some straight sex stuff (ha! I always choke on that stuff) but its, of course, taken an a life of its own. And a little ways into this thing, I was like “Ewww, the sex would be totally inappropriate, WTF?”). But now I see where its going.

“Adrian Meets Cydus” takes place about… 5 to 6ish years before my trilogy takes place.

Things I learned:

1. That Adrian started to go as Rose for her pirating name which eventually turned into part of the name of her ship (thanks to Whitepaws, he found out how the rest of it came about)

2. I learned some about Cydus.

3. I learned where/how Adrian met Lonna and how Adrian ended up promising to help Lonna out of the situation she was in. (Lonna popped up in a random bar in rewrite #1 and I knew her instantly when I saw her pop up in “Adrian Meets Cydus”)

4. More about how Adrian has been shaped into who she is currently. Poor gal. I need to stop torturing her. ….. ;-)

5. About Doc’s and Adrian’s relationship. It wasn’t all pretty and sweet father/daughter like I thought it always was.

6. How Adrian learned hand-on stuff about ships, sailing, knots and stuff, rather than just from books. I knew Doc had a big helping hand in that, but I really have figured out now.

And there might have been more. But y’know.

So I’m either half or 3/4 way through this thing. She’s got some revenge to dish out to a certain Captain and a certain guy in a certain brothel and the favor to repay to Lonna.

Now I’m wondering when Cydus and Adrian are supposed to bump uglies and when Cydus disappears. I got the impression from rewrite #1 of book 1 that they had met rather informally a couple times. I think its at their last meeting together before they meet up at current times. Hmmm… maybe Cydus will run off and do his thing for a couple 2 or 3 years then they’ll happen upon each other again.

I hate skipping forward in time like that, but its not like I’m trying to write something that’s going to be published or put as is into any of my books.

Bah. I HATE the organizing part of this novel series!

I reposting this from my old blog because Whitepaws and I were talking about theme songs for the characters in our navels. It came to my attention one day while play some Tori in the background and writing that this song was for Zyra and the Captain. Its part in what it sounds like and part in the lyrics… its really fascinating how it works out.

Go figure.

Code Red - Tori Amos from American Doll Posse Album

Some say that I will and some say I won’t
Victory is an elusive whore
She is as easily mine
As she is yours

Slip and slide my way through this charade
I know all the players and I must say
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

I’ll do this last one and I’ll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red you’re staring Code Red staring at me

Well sometimes he do and sometimes he don’t
Sometimes I love myself best alone
Do this long enough
You get a taste for it

A six pack of Coke and a bottle of Jack
“whatever you do” he said “look after that,” yeah well
Being trusted and lusted
It could be worse than that

I’ll do this last one and I’ll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring

Come on baby I can drink you down
Then I have my job to do and do well
Since you won’t give guarantees

I’ll be cashing out
I’ll do this last one and I’ll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind
Said I’ll do this last one and I’ll grow me some wine
Leave them troubled boys all behind

What you stole, I would have given freely
Code Red staring Code Red staring
