Sena's DW :: Watermelon Life

I posted the last chapter of Storm Season today and like with Horror High, it feels like the end of an era for me. Though I still do have TWENTY follow-up one-shots to write/post over the next weeks, so I guess I'm not actually even CLOSE to done. Horror High and it's one-shots take up a two-inch binder on my shelves. Storm Season and IT'S one-shots take up a THREE-INCH BINDER AND A TWO-INCH BINDER. SO FAR. I've written the equivalent of like three novels SO FAR with this series and I'm still working on it. It's always going to have a special place in my heart, I think, though it will also be nice to move on and write something else for a change once I'm finally done.

I'm leaning toward Cessation, Frailty or Circulation. Two of them are SPN fic (though one is a crossover) but Circulation (working title) is Brilliant Minds/House M.D./Helix so that would be something ENTIRELY different. I guess we'll see what strikes me after the post-SS stuff.

I've settled into a groove where I always work on one original novel and one fan project at the same time, and Horror High et al goes along with TKA, so I'm hoping to get them both finished around the same time (now that I have more ADHD meds), and then pick another original novel to work on along with my next fan project. My Zombie or Endgame Girls would be obvious ones to pair with Cessation, except that might be too much zombies all at once, so maybe not. They might pair well with Circulation, though, or I could pair Freefall or Sins of Angels with Frailty? I don't know, it's too early too decide anyway.

I've pretty much stopped using vanimadin, though I'm not entirely sure why. I used it a lot during the summer and early fall and then just... nothing after that. I haven't even posted Falling Stars there, never mind any of Storm Season, and I'm talking about my writing here a lot more than I used to, so maybe my brain just doesn't like having to split between the two journals. I've just been posting stuff about my original projects under private settings here, which I was doing over at vanimadin anyway. So... I don't plan on deleting vanimadin , but I think I've decided to just leave it static, at least for now. I can talk about my writing here just as easily. And it's not like anyone following this DW pays attention or cares, you know? But there's a lot of information I need to get off the other journal before I can delete it entirely, if I ever decide to do so, so I should probably get on that at some point... =/

Anyway.

Last night I used my new stud finder to find a stud in my ceiling and successfully hang a new plant hanger (and plants) from it, and I am mighty proud of myself for that yepyep. There's still one more hook I want to put in the ceiling for one more plant hanger, but I almost died falling off the bed doing the one last night so we'll attempt the other one ANOTHER DAY. :D;;

A little while ago I bought a set of plastic shelves to install in Jessie's room because Jessie has decided that pissing all over everything in that room is a fun pastime, but PLASTIC shelves would be immune to that. I think she's just protesting being locked up in there in the afternoons when the boys are out of the basement or something. Anyway. But she doesn't pee on the WOODEN shelves in that room, so I thought I was safe and put some stuff on the bottom shelf of my new shelves aaaaaand... yep. She peed all over it. She barely managed not to completely ruin one of my scrapbooks, and DID ruin an entire ream of computer paper, and am I impressed? Plus when I told Mom and Lee that THEIR cat destroyed an entire ream of my paper they were just like "yeah that happens don't put stuff on the bottom shelf" and didn't even bother to offer to replace it. That was annoying. If one of MY cats destroyed something of THEIRS I would ABSOLUTELY be expected to fix/replace it.

There's a DEFINITE double standard around here and it drives me crazy.
