Sena's DW :: Watermelon Life

Okay, having taken a day off and gotten an actual, DECENT night's sleep last night, I think I'm ready to get back to writing TKA (and other stuff) as well. I still have at least 30k words to go on TKA before it's finished, so I should probably focus on that, buuuuuut... you know how it is, other, shiny things catch your attention and-- no? That's just me. Oh, okay.

(I emailed Poe to tell them my NaNo/TKA news because... they were my TKA cheerleader for years, and helped me out with it a LOT, and I thought they should know I'm FINALLY getting somewhere with it. I doubt they'll respond, but I reached out, at the very least.)

But anyway, right now I have TKA open in word as well as Teeth, Mockingbird and Grace, and I kind of want to work on Echoes, too, just for, like, smut reasons. Because even though I'm personally ace as hell for some reason I enjoy the SHIT out of writing smut. Yeah, figure THAT ONE out! There's no smut in TKA because I'm aiming for the YA audience with it, but I'm considering writing a smut scene anyway and just keeping it for myself, just to... I dunno. Say that I did it once. *shrug* It might be weird writing a Taidan smut scene though, so maybe not. I do like fade to black with them a lot more, when it comes down to it so why ruin that, right?

I REALLY need to ignore my want to write Echoes and close down Mockingbird and Grace and focus my SPN energy on Teeth, though, since it's the next one in line to be written and I already skipped over it once to write Nightingale (which was one long fuckfest lol.) I'm 10,076 words into Teeth so I'm getting there but I'm aiming for around 15,000 (give or take) each for these one-shorts so I have about 1/3 to go yet.

Umm. Yesterday I made Lois Cookies because I FINALLY HAVE THE RECIPE THANK YOU LOIS!! and they turned out SO GOOD like UNBELIEVABLY GOOD, and Mom just complained that there was chocolate in them and how if she was making them she would cut the chocolate in half and then toss in some toffee chips and maybe leave out the coconut and I was like "IF YOU DID THAT YOU WOULD BE MAKING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT COOKIES??" You would not be making "them" anymore. *FACEPALM*

I was so mentally exhausted yesterday that I didn't get the axolotl tank cleaned, so I HAVE to do that today, it is imperative. The boys are all wandering around in gunk and we can't have that, can we? So that's on the slate for this afternoon.

Haku and Ryuu are both adjusting to their new home really well, but Kaida is still being a grumpy gus in the corner. He just comes out to eat and then goes and hides again and that's it. Poor guy, he just suddenly had INVADERS!! ...even though Haku and Ryuu are his own brothers. But he doesn't remember that, and he'd gotten used to being an only 'lotl so it's taking some re-adjusting. We'll get there.

I think tonight after I clean the tank I'm going to do some worms for them (EW EW EW EW EW) since they like them so much. I'm going to have to get more worms soonish, but I'm hoping to stretch the ones I have until the end of the month so I'm not asking Mom to do a separate trip just for worms. I sometimes have to do that with crickets for Itsy and I can tell she doesn't like it. =/

Oh, and then THIS MORNING I downloaded Red One, which means TONIGHT I get to WATCH Red One, and I am really looking forward to that. Literally they shoved my two favorite actors into the same movie, I am SO LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. :3
