Rainy, Lazy Weird Sunday
Apr. 18th, 2004 02:49 pmOddest thing. I must have a dozen books that I'm currently sort of "reading," but I haven't gotten around to finishing any of them. I just keep picking them up and putting them down, reading and reading instead the same lingerie catalogs and issues of Jane I have piled in the bathroom. I guess one would call this unfocused.
Tinkering with the next two chapters of "Bad Trip" - the hubby wants to firm up the continuity of upcoming events before we post, since we'll be having about three parallel story tracks going at once... it's a bit tricky. (If all goes well, Chapter 11 might be up tonight.) The problem I keep having with my bits is finding a balance of tone - we've talked the entire story through, so it's not what needs to be said that's the problem, it's how. Maybe the current run of Angel is being an influence here, but there's this encroaching attitude of sturm und drang creeping in that... well, yeah, we've got dire stuff happening, so maybe not so inappropriate, but I'm not so happy with as a reader. Like, this has gotta be fun, or why are we doing it, no? And there's the heavy topics, like life and death and responsibility and yadda yadda... agh. Sometimes, I swear I just want to give in and fall back on the characters just having sex all the time.
Although... well, there is some sexy stuff coming up in the story. Maybe I'll lobby Toys for some more. Really, really needing some uplift right now. Girls just gotta have fun, you know?
