wish that was me...

I just read lapis_lazuli's comment from days ago: "As much as I'm thinking about scaling back my LJ usage, I hit moments like these when I just want to list out my morning to get it all down and make more room in my head." Wow, I wish I felt I had that much going on in my head. Right now I spend all my mornings driving to work thinking about a fanfic I want to write, and still not getting anywhere. Today is the next to last day I'll be making this drive, however. I think I'm going to miss the thinking time, though I'll probably replace it with sleeping time, as I can't seem to go to sleep before 11pm.

Trust me, you don't want the things that have been going on in my head!

LJ vs. fanfic

Some people use LiveJournal space to work on other writing projects, no reason you couldn't do so. Outlines, snippets of dialogue, &c.. With appropriate security settings, of course.

I have to admit that I haven't put much of my project to rewrite Ben Jonson as science fiction (Every Man in His Space-Suit) into LJ, but sometimes I think I should, when I'm on a roll and could do a bit more of the work of writing it in this (exhibitionistic?) setting. I mean, maybe the frame of mind I'm in when I'm writing about myself in LiveJournal could be useful in getting out parts of the story that are more about me.

I know what you mean.

I'm finding too much neat stuff roaming the net, not spending my time writing. And I've still got to get that report to Marie done...AArrgghh! I missed the deadline to get an article about Korean soccer madness into the editor at Humanbeams. Yup, that ol' ezine is coming out of hibernation. Maybe I'll send her my "self-portrait of a soccer fan."

Lots of Love and Hugs,

They don't seem to have the humanbeams site going yet, so maybe they'd still accept the article?

They have to code the articles before they open up the site. At least that was the plan, last time I got an email from the editor. I'm not the only late author, though. I'm still dubbing around with the photos pages. But first, I'm going for a late lunch/early supper; tummy is growling loud enough to be heard over the games here at the PC shop!
