lobelia321I have cracked the donkey's back! (Or whatever the appropriate metaphor is here.) I have finished the fucking chapter.
But egads, was it ever a difficult birth. Remember how I posted about hating that chapter and being bored with my book and feeling it would never get finished and being despondent and typing up a fact and then not having any idea about the fact (what did the fact mean???)?
But just now, 3 minutes ago, I finished it.
I need to revise it, of course. Massively. But I've got my first draft printed-out, yes yes yes.
*runs off downstairs to book holiday, do other procrastinated things and, if time permits, to write John/wraith because that is what this hot weather is suited for: some hot wraith sex set on a desert island in the blistering heat*
Thanks for doing the poll, everyone! :-) I mean, I did the poll. (I always fill in my own surveys. I can't resist.)
Also, the world needs more Kaká. I mean, there is a trickle of Cristiano pics (if of an ethically dubious nature) but Kaká? Paparazzi, where are you when you're needed? Harry Fitwig? Get your butt into gear and fly off to Brazil! Never mind Madeira. There's a gaggle of your mates in Madeira. Get thee off to the southern hemisphere!
Speaking of southern hemisphere, I wouldn't mind me some Kewlie, either!
Also, I spent 20 minutes today in W.H. Smith, reading football magazines. I almost bought one. *facepalms* I will buckle soon, I just know it.
After reading the football magazines, I bought 9 HB pencils, one pair of cute ballerina shoes (pink! I've never owned pink shoes before! I used to be so sensible in my boring youth) and one strappy hot-weather top (this is also the first year that I'm wearing strappy tops since the 1970s! With no bra! being middle-aged roolz).
Also: GOLF! (Separate post coming up. Now I need to lunch!)

Congratulations! There is hardly anything that gives one a bigger high, is there?

This is true! Have you seen the pics of Kaká in his pink towel?

LOL! I just spent Cdn$33.00 on footie magazines at the Daily Planet! I have completely lost my mind.

Being middle-aged does, indeed, rule.

You play golf too? Oh my goodness, something else we share in common!

Date: 2006-07-21 05:37 pm (UTC)The most important thing is to get that bloody first draft done where you have to fight for each sentence, each thought... Hate it! ;) Revising is not too much fun either but doable. So yes - congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm proud of you. What with the hot weather and The Pretty and that German women who always pesters you about more fic... *blushes*
What do you mean?! John/wraith!? No, no, no! Cristiano/Draco - you got to write Cristiano/Draco. Damn!
And no, more Kaka wouldn't hurt. Really, those paparrazzi. No work ethics these guys. Do something for your money!
*cackles* So was it the heat or the prettiness that finally got to you. :) ) pencils? Really!
Figwit's Folly
Date: 2006-07-21 06:28 pm (UTC)"Yo!" boomed the voice of his Agency boss, vibrating the mobile against his ear, "How ya doin' dude?"
"OK. I'm good!" croaked Harry, but even to himself he sounded .. distant.
"Listen Mr Creative Artiste, we ain't seen much from you recently. There's pics bein' spammed all over of that Ronaldo-dude doin' cutesy stuff with his cousins. Where were you? Where's your stuff? 'Ave yer got any Rooney shots yet, or that Coleen's knickers?
"I got a few." quavered Harry weakly.
"Now you listen 'ere. We got the word the 'Igh Ups want more Kaka. So if you're just down there doin' those crap sunset-shots, you may as well up sticks and head for South America, y'understand? This Agency don't got no use for freebooters!"
"There'll be somthin' in the post ... I mean by email as soon as; boss!" said Harry desperately, "I got stuff you wouldn't BELIEVE!"
"Ya think? Well get off that skinny backside, an' amaze us, yeah?"
The boss rang off, and Harry was left gazing despondently at his trusty laptop. That tape was HIS; he didn't WANNA share. Well ... OK ... maybe he should release that rather odd shot of the frilly nightie .. he still couldn't figure why the Ronaldo-kid was wearing one of them; unless it was some weird kink that Rooney fancied .. hmm.
Reminded thus of his new obsession, Harry downed the warm bear in one, and trailed off down to the marina, binoculars clutched tight in his sweaty palms.

Date: 2006-07-21 07:29 pm (UTC)"And ANOTHER thing - " said the boss without any preamble this time, "There's rumours Kaka has this PINK TOWEL! That oughta be right up yer street, Mister Creative Artiste! One last chance - or y're off to Brazil toot sweet!"
"Yeah boss!" said Harry to the silent mobile.
Right - unless a miracle happened, and Kaka decided to visit the Ronaldo-kid .. or even Rooney, although that would be less likely - Harry was up against it. It was The Video, or nothing!

Date: 2006-07-22 02:47 am (UTC)Also, the world needs more Kaká. I KNOW! I keep saying that to EVERYONE. He's so pretty and so yummy and I even like that cute, little thing he calls a
beardwife!I want sooper sekrit paparazzi pics of him mowing the lawn or something. ANYTHING!
I always read football magazines at Chapters (our bookstore). There's always a row of men, then me! I always get looks when I grab the magazines. I guess girls aren't supposed to like sports or something. *shrugs* Though, I may or may not spend most of the time drooling at the pics instead of reading the articles.
