Except that it's hot and I don't want to.

Sounds like a legitimate reason to me.

But...we want more Tony! ;)

Seriously, I read Smoke and Mirrors earlier this week and loved it. I liked it more than Smoke and Shadows actually. :)

I should probably pick up Smoke and Mirrors. Maybe when I go into work this weekend. *will be one of the few people not picking up the new HP book where she works*

We're in Cambridge Ontario and the temperature plummented from 100F to 60F this afternoon with an hour of rain as the icing on the cake.

::wafts cool air at you::

Oh, oh, oh! Please finish it!

While I'm very much looking forward to buying it as soon as it comes out, take the night off. Enjoy yourself.

*Pulls out pom poms* You can do it! *Big cheezy smile* Seriously, though, I still need to read the rest of the "Blood" series. Fabulous books!

Tell me a story.

"And then they done sex. The end."

There you go. ;

Damnit, my winky face is missing a mouth. :(

My brain turns to Tapioca in the summer too!

you can Do IT....eventually ;>

Hey as my Mom says: "if it weren't for the LAST Minute nothing would ever get done"

I have no reason not to sit here and finish the damned thing.

Coincidentally, limyaael just held a poll to determine what to rant about next, and so far the most votes have been for "Ten things to do when you've gotten bored with your novel".

500 words?

That's two pages.

Just get it over with.

Or not. Send the manuscript to your editor without those last words, and when he/she asks about them pretend they fell off the bottom of the stack or something.

Hey THAT got me through my last semester for my BA!

So been there. I've never written something as long as a full novel but term papers, my own stories....yeah. I get stuck. We all do. Take a breather. Get right in front of a fan and just close your eyes and don't think about ANYTHING. Or take a cold shower. Zone out. Don't feel bad! Pet a kitty. They help. :)

I would believe that they will come in their own time. You know if you try to force them, you will only have to write them over again and again. I've heard Michelle's stories of you in the backroom on Queen St. trying for hours to get one sentence right. Relax and take the beloved for some of that really tasty ice cream.

I'm beginning to know that feeling...

It's hot here, too. And I did not write anything yesterday either. I baked muffins and pecan pie for 25 people. Which made things even hotter. Sigh.
This weekend is Filky Days, a 'housefilk'-small-semiprivate-con where we meet and eat. Well yes, and sing and chat and play ball and have a bonfire and a barbeque and play games and dance on the meadow if we feel like it.

Hot, yup. I've been trying to pactice for the Harry Potter thingy tonight. It's so hot I'm even having problems playing music, reading is doable as long as it's not to hard to read. Creativity in this heat is hard. It's cooler this morning, now you get 500 words done. You didn't mention what type of words, I assume coherent, fitting in with the plot words. Other wise I'd suggest typing in the first 500 words from the dictionary or something.

Except that it's hot and I don't want to.

As if that's not a good enough reason? Heh. Last night I decreed it was too hot for me to get off my ass and go to the movies! :)

It was 118 here yesterday. Today it's only 115. The worst part is that those aren't record temperatures for here. *sigh*

But I completely sympathize with the "It's hot and I don't want to." *hug*
