Apollymi ::||:: Dark Passion Play

Okay, weird subject line. I've been in a mood. I'm waiting for a phone call today or tomorrow, and the anxiety of waiting is getting to me.

...So I'm looking up information on Mad Max, The Road Warrior, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (and the anticipated Mad Max: Fury Road). Now there's a series I can't believe I haven't bought, though that's probably because it has yet to be released in a set (that I can find).

I don't know why I adore these movies so much, but I do. (Of course, I'm also a freak of a female, being that I love The Three Stooges.) They're a series I really, really enjoy, for reasons I cannot quite place. Every time I watch/think too much about them, I start getting ideas -- and I don't need to do a post-apocalyptic fic and/or novel/la.

I've written about 200 words on Verdant while I was at lunch today. I want to pound out another 500 to 1000 or so today. I also want to start back working on fanfiction: maybe finish The Haunting and Third Chance, and perhaps play around with this idea that's been kicking the last week. Yes, I have big writing plans -- but it's about damned time. I've been waiting for big writing plans to strike for a while.

Anxiously looking forward to JulNoWriMo. I kind of sucked at April Fool's Novel.

I really need to quit tailoring my subject lines to my icons. Meh, oh well. I like my subject lines. I like my icons. No one else but me Hardly no one else reads this, so who cares.

I'm about 200 or so words into "Arcana". I vaguely have an idea of where I want to go with it, but not too much. For me, planning too far ahead keeps the ideas from flowing.

Traditionally, the big write-athon months are terrible for me health-wise. Last November, I managed about 4 hours of sleep a night, ate what I could quickly grab when I could take half a minute's worth of a break, and just generally abused my body. Last July wasn't nearly so bad, but I still didn't sleep or eat like. For April Fool's Novel, I've only signed up for 30,000 words (or 1,000 words a day), so maybe I won't overdo it too much. April Fool's Novel is mostly to get my marathoning brain in gear for JulNoWriMo and then NaNoWriMo.

It's also an excuse to get "Arcana" finished and e-published. I want to start getting my name out there. It couldn't hurt -- and it could help.

But I do need minions, to do everything else for me.
