So. Tired

[przed]

It has been a crazy week.

I have helped organize the takethatslash Big Bang, attended a master class on Hitchcock's Notorious with Guillermo Del Toro, taken Ros to her Tae Kwan Do class, done two TKD classes myself, gone to the coaches meeting for Ros' soccer club, attempted to get hold of all the parents on my team's roster, had a friend over for dinner, taken Ros for her six month eye checkup, driven north to my mom's, taken a trunkload of stuff from mom's basement to the local dump in the continuing crusade to clear out 45 years of junk, tried to figure out what we need to do for the Florida trip (in three more sleeps!), and tried to get everything done I need to before I take off on Tuesday.

I am knackered.

I'm totally ready for a vacation, though I fear 5 days in Disney World isn't going to be quite the relaxing time off I could use.

But the trip did push me to finally get the replacements for my much loved but ailing skull-and-crossbones Rocket Dogs, this lovely pair of red Converse sneakers.


I'm not necessarily admitting to anything, but a certain member of a British manband may have influenced my choice of footwear.


And now I think there's some collapsing in my immediate future.

Awwww, thanks certain member of a British manband. (I'm still working on making the perfect Howard icon.)

Well, I've had a nice sleep now, so I'm slightly less knackered. (I'v meant to email my fellow TTS mods since Friday, but I've had absolutely no brain.) We shall see if I'm in any shape to write tonight.

We're planning on mid-afternoon pool breaks every day, so there shall definitely be some resting. I'm really hoping there'll be a bit of writing too. (I'm dying to write, and I've had no time or energy all week.)

Good luck with the whip and the workshop!

Certain bandmember doesn't quite understand "still working on making perfect icon" - isn't every icon with him perfect? *g*

Glad to hear that! Take your time! I'm still quite happy we have 10 writers and three artists already! I'm hoping we can convince a few more, I know there are more out there who are thinking about joining in...
Good luck with the writing! I know the feeling! I'm in this state of "I kind of know what I want to write but I've got to sort the words in my head first". It's this darn Circus-story, it's brooding and shaping up and then saying "nawww, that's not good enough". I've had a nice plot explosion today, though, while I was under the shower! I think poor Howard is going to be whumped big time! Once I've got it sorted in my head and put down in a doc-file, I'll let you know the details and see if you approve, yes? Also, I don't know whether to add magic or not - it would make things easier to explain, but the plot is realistic now, I don't know if magic would ruin it. It's tricky! :)

The whip was a mistake! He thought he was getting rewarded for the good work so far! Kept asking "is Howard coming, too?" *shakes head* Silly, silly me!

Howard's always perfect, but I feel like I still haven't found the best way to showcase that perfection. ;-)

I soooo can't wait to see some of the Circus story. Feel free to send me whatever you've got, whenever you want. It sounds brilliant! And even if the story itself is realistic, it doesn't completely preclude the use of magic. Game of Thrones is in a gritty, realistic medieval setting with the occasional flourish of magic. Just treat the magic realistically, if that make sense.

Kept asking "is Howard coming, too?" *shakes head* Silly, silly me!

Heh.

And what a great excuse opportunity this is to use my second favourite Howard-icon!

Also YAY! for us being online at the same time!!

Trust me, love, I'm going to spam you with that story until you wish you never met me! *g*
Keeping the magic realistic, that's it. You've nailed it. It was quite realistic in Erin Morgenstern's "The Night Circus", the setting is mainly 1890s-1910s, but she managed to get the magic in, very believable, because it was more of a science than magic. Quite interesting approach...we'll see.

I now will have to go and try to get the whip back, or else this time maching will never ever get ready! Boys.

Briefly online at the same time. ::sigh:: Oh well, when things calm down a bit, maybe we can finally get an actual chat going.

I'm seriously looking forward to your spamming me with the story. It's a brilliant idea with huge potential. And you're just the person to carry through on it!

::HUGS:: We will, lovely, we will! Just have a little patience... *slaps herself for bad pun* *gets another slap with the whip for bad pun* (I've got to get that whip back!)

And awwwwwww! You're always so kind! *bounces* I was so scared with this story and the BB but now I'm getting excited and really starting to feel I can write this down and I'm soooooo looking forward to it! I love that feeling when it starts coming together.

Sleep well! And sweet dreams! xx
