More thoughts from last night; Snape was complaining that I looked like a Hufflepuff sausage in my cycling clothes. I told him that black-and-yellow is practical, even though it doesn't flatter me, and that I know I need to lose weight...

Surprising!

Still cranking away at the dance scene in Vector's Challenge. I may wind up splitting up my chapters a bit differently than I thought I would, as the dance scene is about 9 pages so far, and not totally done.

Also need to get away from this computer and get the kitchen at least clean...

Maybe not that far off -- "every lawyer is a criminal lawyer", and I don't have that much more time to go, after all...and my brother would say the temperament is spot-on. But orange??? Me? I hate orange, unless it's a flavor...

stupid servers...

Both ff.net and FAP are too busy for me to post my four new chapters of Vector's Challenge. Grrr.
Grrr, I say, GRRR! I tried with Safari, and I even tried (shudder) MS Internet Explorer. (update: got FAP to respond. Still have not reached ff.net yet...will keep trying...)

This outlining thing from http://www.fictionfactor.com/articles/novelamonth.html does seem to have its merits. I now know exactly where the problematic point is in the storyline, and I have to nail down the timing for two events before I can write much more. Heh. I should be playing, "Get Me to the Church on Time," as that is the problem with the outline at this point...

Hmm...I wonder how the outlining thing works for novels that need a lot of research, e.g. historical, alternate history, SF adaptations of history, etc. But I think that I may try it with "Three-Body Problem," at least to get something on the page and so that I don't write myself into a sticky place...
