i've had a very productive day today. i re-arranged the upstairs room and now it is a lot closer to being my den than it ever has been. i put the bead curtain up over the back door, and i have had a fire going in here since lunchtime. it's very nice, except you have to sit virtually in front of the fire to get any warmth. but hey - i have a *fire*! also, i finally started using the giant postits - i have four stuck to that wall, and i am using them to jot stuff down about my characters. i'm at the point where i need to track whats happening to them, cause a few little changes here and there could reverberate through what i've already written, changing the shape of the whole book...
i'm thinking of starting up another blog to talk specifically about my writing, so i can bang on about my characters without feeling like a wanker.
went to a meeting at fcarts last night about hello kitty. i was a little nervous doing my reading - i have chosen to read a chunk from my novel - but it went well, and i have some interesting pointers to consider. i will be re-jigging the excerpt as a reading, so that should be fun. i also decided what song i would sing at the gigs - 'eye of the tiger'! i found the lyrics online and gave it a couple of practice runs this afternoon, and i must say, within the echoey confines of this room, i didn't sound half bad (then i realised that this was probably the precise feeling most of the unsuccessful candidates who try out for 'australian idol' have... *shudder*). i am so looking forward to hello kitty... after the fringe fest will be a great time for it too, it'll be like one long celebration. yay! before i go, let me just say - recently i have been getting heaps of traffic to this site, and it's all due to three little words - 'mary', 'kate', and 'anorexia'. how about that? although, it seems someone else found me by doing a search for 'lindsay lohan's wedgie'. disturbing, but true.
