New Journal

Well, being completely unable to access my journal last night kind of freaked me out, so I have finally created my LJ clone journal.  I decided to go with Insane Journal, cause, let's face it, 100 icons for free is way too cool for me to pass up.  Plus, Tweak is the best character ever (for those of you who watch South Park, you know what I mean ;) ).

I think I am going to have to make a special Tweak icon for my clone journal, which I call TweakJournal.  You can find me easily enough at http://phae-talon.insanejournal.com  I am very uninspired when it comes to URLs ;)  Enter phae-talon into something, and if I am there, I will pop up :P

That is about all I wanted to say.  I am having a bit of a no brain day.  I need to type out about 1,000 words worth of story (if I am lucky it is only that many ... I am not sure how many words fit on 8-10 notebook pages).  I need help.  Every time I start to work on this story I add more to it.  I am a little worried that when I am done I will top 100,000 words (and that is before we even start THINKING about part 2 that is already floating around in my mind).

I need to be taught how to write short stories.  I want to build up a profile of something that has been published.  I am not sure that Pagan interest articles count.  Though, I suppose I could spit out a few that were on general interest Paganism and general Pagan life.  That might be considered by one of the local mags.

It is so frustrating to find all of these new publications popping up wanting short stories and essays, and here I am trying not to let my tale turn epic on me.  Ugh!

I probably owe the C&P folks a new story chunk.  Though, I am not really sure that any of you are interested in Ella's story anymore.  Maybe I will make you all wait until NaNo time ;)

Well, I guess I did have more to say than I thought.  Back to work with me.  Have a happy weekend folks!

LJ was doing maintenance last night, I forgot the time. I wasn't on at the time anyway, but you being West Coast - I think it was still early where you are when it happened.

It is, but the outage for maintenance was 11:59 PDT, which is 3 a.m. here. I am asleep at 3 a.m., so midnight is "early" for me. It was supposed to be down for about 2 hours, but I dodn't know how long it actually was down.
