*sigh*

Just prior to posting the news that one hit (and even slightly surpassed) one's 1250 word goal for the day IS NOT the time to read the blog entry of a writer who managed close to 20,000. I know. Everyone works differently and if I ever wrote a 20K blitz in a one-day period, you could scrape the remains off my office chair and sprinkle them over King's kennel, or something.

In any event, finished the lost chapter. It's ok for first draft. Lost some writing time due to illness and such--not a cold, but a summer-like allergy assault that hit me out of nowhere. Allerest is a Good Thing.

And hey, looks like next chapter will be a Jani-Lucien chapter. Those are always fun.

Current reading--Ian Rankin's Fleshmarket Alley, which was, according to a notation on the copyright page, sold as Fleshmarket Close in the UK. I am awaiting the arrival of Samuel R. Delaney's ABOUT WRITING, which I read about in Justine Larbalestier's blog, larbalestier . I occasionally like to read books on writing. A favorite is Robert McKee's STORY, which, granted, discusses screenwriting, but which I think contains a lot of good information about structure, archetypes, and why some stories work while others don't.

Oh well. Off to read some Rankin.

So what does this mean?

The first time I took this quiz, I tested out as Numenorean. I think the deciding question might be, who I'd rather fight for/with. That was a coin toss because I didn't recognize most of the names and didn't like the ones I did.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good...

From jpsorrow

You Are a Retrospective Soul

The most misunderstood of all the soul signs. Sometimes you even have difficulty seeing yourself as who you are. You are intense and desire perfection in every facet of your life. You're best described as extremely idealistic, hardworking, and a survivor. Great moments of insight and sensitivity come to you easily. But if you aren't careful, you'll ignore these moments and repeat past mistakes. For you, it is difficult to seperate the past from the present. You will suceed once you overcome the disappoinments in life. Souls you are most compatible with: Traveler Soul and Prophet Soul

What Kind of Soul Are You?
