*shakes fist @ Weather Gods*
Well, the trip to St. Louis isn't happening. However, we're going to drive to Pueblo to see the HubbyMom for a few days, tomorrow. Internet access will be nonexistent. (Horrors!) We'll be back...Wednesday, or so? I leave you with a snippet: "Shh." Janni cradled his head against her shoulder. "Just rest, Ben. You're exhausted."
"So tired of fighting." With a start, Janni realized that Ben was crying, and she wrapped around him tighter. Last time she'd seen him cry, he'd been injected with the nanotech that had made him a werewolf, and he'd thought he was going to have to leave her for her own safety. Now he thought he should leave her again... "I'm so sorry," he said, over and over.
"You didn't do anything wrong. Don't apologize for surviving."
"I wasn't supposed to. Survive. Didn't want to. It got so bad. Started hallucinating. You." His breaths were as short and choppy as his sentences. "And then it turned out they weren't hallucinations. Except the once. And it wasn't you. Ever. I'm not making any sense, am I?"
"Not much. But that's okay. Let it out." The more he told her, the more she could understand, and the better she could help him. And he was more likely to Talk While Intoxicated than while he was sober. Sober, he'd give a clam a run for its money in the close-mouthed stakes.
"Falling. Don't want to hurt you when I hit and go smash."
"I'll catch you. You won't hurt me."
"I wish...oh, god, I'm tired. Had to hold it together for so long. Finally had enough."
"Perez said you lost it and carnage ensued."
"Ha. Didn't lose it. Made a choice." Breathing. "Tried to make two. Bouncers got me before I could." More breathing. "Still don't know if that's bad or good. Going with bad right now. Willing to have my mind changed." Love love love your comments. Current Mood:  tired |

We're home...
For now. Had a lovely visit with the parents, although the weather rather sucked. But I got to add a new bird to my Life List, I picked up books 3-6 in PN Elrod's Vampire Files series (along with a few other books). And I managed to scribble a week's worth of novel in the last three days, so anything beyond this is gravy, at least this week. We're going to stay home tomorrow and then take off for the wilds of St. Louis on Friday. Again, there's no possible way I'm going to catch up with my flist, so if I should know anything, drop me a comment. Current Mood: tired |

And, since I'm here...
Monday Maunderings. This is a continuation from last week's scene. And, go: She delved in and found all sorts of thoughts skittering around in there, things like love you and ohholyshit and panic lurking in the background. A flashback of West breaking in tried to pounce, and she paused. "Open your eyes," she commanded, and he did, and she yanked the flashback out and sent it flying away before fastening her teeth into his throat once more.
He bucked against her once before easing down again. She went back into his head and heard I'm sorry I didn't mean and I totally deserve this.
Hovering over it all, in bright neon red, was a death wish. Please just please finish it oh god please...
That, more than anything, made her disengage and lick the wounds closed. She'd bitten so deeply that her incisors had left cuts as well, and she'd taken a lot of his blood, more than usual. She released his wrists and collapsed beside him. "Oh, puppy."
The shakes had him, and she pulled him into herself. He exhaled hard. "Feel better, babe?"
She did, actually. "Aye. Are you all right?" She finger-combed his hair out of his eyes. "Did I hurt you?"
"Not much. Little dizzy. I'm okay."
She raised up on one elbow. "No you're not. You're less okay than I am."
He gave her that not-smile. "That's a given, Ange. I'll always be less okay than you." Comments are ♥♥♥. |

We are at the beach...
Went birdwatching this morning; going out again this afternoon. Spoonbills and night herons and osprey and ducks and stilts and all kinds of other stuff, oh my. Highlight so far has been watching a great blue heron attempt to eat an absolutely enormous fish before finally giving up and flying away. And that was right here in the campground. Hee. Yes, I got pictures. What do you take me for? And this time I might actually post them. No way am I catching up with my flist. Seriously, not happening. Sorry. Anything important happening, link me to it... Current Mood:  relaxed |

Omigawd, y'all...
The Princess and the Frog. I am aware (peripherally) of the wank surrounding this movie. I...can't speak to it, and whether or not Disney Failed or Succeeded on that front. I'm not qualified, and I leave it to people who are. All I know is that the story and the characters sucked me in and I loved it. Loved loved absolutely loved it. It made me cry because I was sad, and it made me cry because I was happy. I'm not going to spoil it here (although there will be spoilers in the comments, no doubt), but this movie worked for me in every conceivable way. THAT BEING SAID. This is not a movie for little, little kids. I'm pretty sure that had Da Boy been, say, six, rather than eight, parts of it would have had him freaking pretty hard. Think the Frollo "Fire" scene in Hunchback...only more than once. There are some scary, scary scenes here. And another one that's really sad. And that's all I'm going to say about that unless someone wants me to elaborate in comments. So, yes, I recommend this, with that caveat. Current Mood:  happy |

We can haz plans.
Tomorrow we're going to hop on a (commercial) plane and fly to San Antonio, where we will rent a car and then drive down to Port Aransas to see my folks. Interwebs may or may not be spotty for the duration. We should be coming back on Wednesday, loads permitting (ah, the joys of non-revving). After that, not sure. Hubby is off until the 27th. We may go out to St. Louis to see his sister and then swing by his Mom's in Pueblo on the way back in the Cessna--depends on the weather, which is always iffy this time of year. In writing news, I had my first dream ever about Ben last night, and it left me with such a vivid image in my head that I may just have to write the scene out because it was awesome. There are times I hate my brain; this is not one of them. Current Mood:  pleased |

Brr. Argh.
I hate winter. It's six degrees outside right now. Yes, you read that right. Six. Not sixteen, or twenty-six. Six. And, you know what? It's still early. It's going to get colder. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaate. Current Mood:  cold |

*sigh*
My original goal in writing this thing was 100,000 words. I blew through that. So I upped the goal to 125,000 words. I have now blown through that. I broke 130,000 words, plus a couple hundred, today. Think I'll have the first draft done by 150,000? Shall we make a betting pool? I'm actually thinking 175,000 by the time it's said and done, because I've not done any villain scenes at all and Janni's part of this isn't even sketched out yet. *headdesks repeatedly* Current Mood: cranky |

Ah, the things we research for our writing.
Dissociative Identity Disorder. Obviously, I'm going to need more than just this article, and I've got some notes from a panel at LTUE as well, but...yeah. Because this is failure on a massive, massive scale, which possibly who am I fooling, definitely piled yet another trauma on poor Ben's head. Which is not what I intended to do when I set out to write this scene, but that's for sure what happened. In spades. Oh, god. The fact that I think the only possible way he comes out of this in any way functional is by calving off another personality to deal with it... I'd drop an f-bomb here, but even that word is not enough for the sheer amount of horror I'm feeling right now. *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* And please don't think I'm taking this lightly. I am so not. At all. Current Mood:  anxious |

Mine is an evil laugh.
Boy, this scene just got a whole lot more complicated than I thought it was at first blush. This is no way a deus ex machina. It's a try/abject fail cycle. Which is great for me, but...not so good for poor Ben. In other news, I'm not getting comments emailed to me until way after the fact. So if I'm slower than usual replying, that's why. Current Mood:  busy |
