bits and bobs
* I haven't done a proper post for ages, just these Twitter posts so I thought I had better do a quick one just before work. This week is a bit shitty because I have to wait 'til Wednesday for payday and then I have to shell out an extra £200 pounds so I'm going to be short. So annoying. I feel like I work constantly just to scrape by on the bare minimum.
I'm worried about this projectionist thing. I don't really know if I have what it takes to be a projectionist. I know they are going to train us for three weeks in the event that we get the job, but it's a lot of responsibility and pressure. Can I handle it? I don't think I will have time to write and it's important to me. Do I really want to be at work's beck and call in at 6 -7 in the morning, doing 14 hours shifts at times. I don't know if this is a good idea.
I wish I could make a decision and stick to it. Where's my intuition when I need it, eh?
* 'Songbirds' is ticking along. I would like to get to 85k at least and at least tackle most of my notes I have accumulated in my notebook. I know how the story is meant to go but it's getting it out onto the page that's the problem. Remembering when I blithely though I would finish this draft by March? Well, that totally didn't happen! I am concerned, mostly because I need to start the sequel, but it's difficult to do that when you're still working on this one. I also don't want it to become a huge unwieldy monster.
* I'm trawling through 'The Charioteer' by Mary Renault. To be honest it's a bit of a slog. I'm hoping it gets better as I get further in but at the moment it's not grabbing me. I also read 'Warrior Prince' by JP Bowie which was a good story, but just occasionally there seemed to be just that little too much sex for it to be believable. I don't know if that's what I should have expected and I'm just being picky for no reason, I kept on thinking 'Would they really be having it off now?'
* I'm not doing Script Frenzy as I'm too busy and I haven't thought of a story. I know I said that with Nano and then I came up with 'Songbirds' but I really must get on with this freaking draft!
