Beginning to think it's a truism that the minute you start properly researching one story idea, the other one that you'd pretty much decided to dump suddenly goes 'hey, I'm interesting and shiny and did I mention this fabulous framing device for the story I've just thought up?'

Seriously, brain, fixate on *one* and stick to it, will you?

Mmm. nanowrimo has a very shiny t-shirt for this year. come to mamma. But FSM, American Apparel, since when is a size 10-12 a *large* in skinny fit? At least the nanowrimo store does point out that the skinny fit are made for midgets. And the stickers are terribly shiny this year. I shall resist the stickers. I have nowhere to put them.

Got a new mic after sticking my old one through the washing machine (better safe than sorry). Slightly peeved since my last one was a little cheapo one for a fiver and the cheapest the tech shops had this time for one that looked almost identical was RRP £19.99. My 'you're kidding' did get them down to a tenner, though. testing by getting Shel to read out MS numbers and me humming pipe tunes.

the minute you start properly researching one story idea

Had the exact same thing happen for my Big Bang fic - started doing some proper research on one idea and then the back-up plan decided that actually, it wanted this one. Worked out okay in the end and as luck would have it I'm now working with someone whose research is based in the area in question, so it should hopefully go a bit more smoothly next time. :)

I seem to have signed up for NaNoWriMo as well - we'll see how well that bunny survives the rest of October....

nanowrimo is evil and addictive. get the chocolate, sweets, and large quantities of fresh fruit in. every year you groan 'why do i do this to myself?' and yet every september, there you are. thinking about what research you'll need this time.

:headdesk: I'm not normally caught between two this late in the game, though. Annoyingly, the girl-in-army one still isn't quite swaying me to its side now that upstairs-downstairs went '...you know that shipwreck?'

So it's Forn Parts for a couple of weeks and monastic seclusion for the next couple after that?

Would you like us to rig up some sort of tea delivery pipe to your room?
