Title speaks the truth.
Anyhoo - Happy 2008 to one and all! I hope you all had a great holiday. I know I did. I also got the best present ever, a super sci-fi quality mobile phone because my old one isn't really up to the job. I've been playing a lot of - i.e. too much - Mass Effect and this could seriously have come out of there. It doubles as a voice recorder and I need one of those so very badly, especially if I get midnight ideas. Which I'm currently not.
That's the main reason I haven't posted: I feel really drained at the moment. My creativity is on the fritz because I'm extremely stressed out and distracted. I can't write anything (apart from wiki articles, strangely) so that's going to be my next technique in a vain attempt to make myself do some bloody work. I have no more episodes of Nones lined up and a story I was writing for KOTORFMS is falling by the wayside. Hopefully I'll pull myself together. I've also just had one of my wisdom teeth pulled out - that really annoying little SOB at the back that cut me every time I bit down is now gone, yay - and I have a killer cold that seems to be entering my head by cutting in through my sinuses, which is not very conducive to the recouperating creative processes.
On the bright side (she says, after bitching about not being able to work) Shadow is now third drafted. I just have to give it one last read through and tweak, finish the selling synopsis and add a little to my ongoing commentary, and it's all done and dusted. My tutor says she doesn't need to read through the edited third draft version because I "know what I'm doing", to which I say, "have you not been paying attention to what I'm like??"
No matter. I'm just happy this is nearly all done. This time next month it will be all handed in and out of the way at long last.
Now I'm off for hot drinks and those really nice tissues that don't scar your nose. Jo out.
