RIGHT! I am officially sick of it! I am hereby going on a writing marathon. I am going to sit down and write until I FINISH this bloody chapter! Even if it takes me all night!

Reason? I'm almost 2,500 words into Chapter 3 of Dry My Tears and I haven't even got CLOSE to the end. The more I work on it, the longer each scene gets until it has turned into this sprawling mass of ooze. OOOOOOOZE, I SAY!!!! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE! I could cut it off and have the following scenes in another chapter, but I refuse to have the action just stop for two whole chapters. I HATE big 'talking and explaining' chapters and that seems to be where I'm up to in BOTH my fics at the moment and it's driving me NUTS! Meanwhile I feel like I've completely lost track of the characters because so much information has to be passed on, and everything just keeps taking longer, and longer and longer. (ooze).

Today I was so frustrated by this (and the mounting pressure to finish my assignments, which were ALSO being oozy), that before work I almost started yelling at my mother for the stupidest of reasons. :( Thus, I refuse to continue being grumpy about the Never Ending Chapter from the Land of Ooze, and I'm going to FINISH the freaking thing.

So.

Just FYI: in case people think me strangely self-obsessed, (well, I am, but not necessarily the way you think), part of the reason I started up this journal was to make a complete chronical of the process of me learning to write properly, from conception to publication. So if it seems at all strange to anyone that I keep saying, 'wrote 3 more words,' or, 'tried to write but got distracted' and suff (as if anybody actually cares) all the time, that's a main reason. I really want to be able to look at this process that is so important to my life and personality, in later years and watch everything grow. :) So yeah, I won't apologise for it because I'm not forcing anyone to read this. :) Just thought I should say that.
