Okay, now Vicky won't shut up. She talks at me all. bloody. day. GAH!

The worst part is, it's scenes that I can't use for MONTHS to come.

Vicky: "Wouldn't it be cool if *this* happened?"

Me: "Yes, but I have lots of other things planned first. I can't do that without breaking all sorts of continuity."

Vicky: "Who cares about continuity? It would be COOL!"

Me: "Well, actually, in this kind of story I have to pay attention to continuity. Sorry."

Vicky: "But I want you to write about it NOW!" :::whiiiiiine:::

She also bitches and whines at me when I don't have the time to write, nor pen and paper to hand. I forgot my notebook at home, not to mention my day was crazy busy today.

I should probably be posting this whine/bitch/moan session in [livejournal.com profile] secret_history instead. Maybe I'll cross-post it. Heh.

Never.

EVER.

Forget your notebook.

Tell me about it. ^^;

I had to scribble randomly on bits of paper at work today which are now shoved in my notebook. Highly messy and disorganized. :P

Yeah. Didn't Harriet the Spy teach you anything?

It taught me that if I was going to write mean things about my friends in my notebook that I should write it in a code that they wouldn't understand, and that furthermore I shouldn't leave it around where they would find it. ;)

Exactly! And you should get back at your friends who steal your notebook by starting a new one!

It's nice to have stuff you can write later on.

But it is also a way Shitheead distracts from what is being written at the moment.

You'll really appreciate it when you ccan finally use those notes, but of course for now you get to write to them.

t!

Yeah, I hear ya. Mosttly I'm just finding the voices distracting and annoying, because I want to concentrate on the ideas I have for what needs to be written for now, rather than what I'll be able to write for, say, next year. :P For one thing, there's no guarantee that these ideas will even be relevant at that time. My stories have a nasty habit of evolving in ways I hadn't anticipated at all.

Now the trick is to scribble down the drabble in my notebook, and that seems to silence the voices for the time being. If I have the time/opportunity, that is. *sigh*

The Muse is a harsh, harsh mistress. ;)
