Brownies

[plonq]

atara is having a horrible day, so I am making emergency brownies. There are few emotional ailments that brownies won't fix.

I did something new yesterday - new to me anyway - and sketched out the outline for a story from start to finish. I usually write in a freestyle form, letting the story guide itself as I go, but this is an idea that I have been mulling on for a bit, and I wanted to ensure that I got a rough of it into words before I forgot any of the key elements.

I had hoped to start writing the story itself this week, but I've been on-call with work since Friday, and I've been getting progressively earlier wake-up calls every day except this morning.

This morning I dreamt that the phone rang and woke up just after 4. Alas, though I managed to doze fitfully before my alarm, I never got properly back to sleep. Thus I am too tired and fuzzy-brained to do any real writing.

After this weekend I am hoping to start catching up on my sleep again, and maybe get in some writing during our down time. We shall see. Fingers are crossed.

Sending good thoughts to go with the brownies.

Good thoughts are nice, but always better with brownies.

Good luck with the new writing technique!

It's always exciting, scary, confusing, and often good to try new motifs.

The concept of planning sort've strikes terror into my heart.
