*chokes* Okay, I just saw this headline on Yahoo News: "Obama setting up better security for computers." Really? Personally??? Is he coming to my house to do it? I had no idea he was an IT guy. Can I watch? I guess this is why we pay headline writers the Big Bucks.
Anyway, we now return you to your regularly scheduled post of me blathering about writing.
This thing is coming together so very oddly. I've got...*looks* 78 pages here (single-spaced, Times New Roman). And I just added a scene to page 30. Most of the time I'm a linear writer; I can't write the next scene until I write the previous scene because I don't know what came before and I kind of need to. But this one seems to be a collection of not-so-random scenes strung together by the common theme of "How Can We Break Ben Just a Little More Today?" Yesterday, I broke my contag a little by having her realize that she's actually in love with Our Boy--and that she can never, ever tell him.
Today, she attempted a seduction. Naturally, it went Horribly Wrong.
And Antubis has been hovering around my peripheral vision saying "You should make Angeline your protagonist. Really." And I'm shoving him back and saying "Not on your life, fuzzy-butt, get back in your corner and just keep the ideas coming. But not that one. Because it's BAD."
I should sprinkle a couple more attempted seductions in there. Because that was kind of fun to write--and would set up his capitulation that much better. Is it Saturday yet? I want to post a snippet so hard I'm bouncing.
