Progress, all about progress

Last night I called up my novel on the laptop and looked good and hard at the scene in Chapter 20 that is frustrating me so much -- the dialogue piece I just cannot seem to end right. And because of the dream the other night, some of the dynamics of the plot and story have changed. Dana is still hesitant about the twins and Kara finding out what she has become, since it's still so new. And when the Muse who is also the star of the story gets iffy about something, it is worth taking notice. When I last left Alex and Ian, they had figured it out -- Ian had practically hallucinated it through his link to Dana -- but how the hell do I start them up again? I have Kara still trapped in Jeremy's astral plane, I haven't decided where to put the fight scene between Alex and Jeremy, and most importantly I have no clue when the climactic confrontation between Dana and Jeremy will actually begin. Two chapters from now? Four?
But the Muse and the Guides are being pains in my ass. Since we all talked, the girls have been sitting on the sidelines, watching me with interest. Nobody's been in my head specifically, and while I like the silence, it's starting to irritate me. And I cannot ask Ariana to take over and write a little bit for me. Who knows what she'd come up with. Besides, they're guides. They cannot do it for me.
I want to get this done. *bangs head on desk* I just want to keep going and not stall anymore. It's my fault, of course. If I could set a certain amount of time every day -- longer on weekends and days off -- if I could keep to that... I'd be fine. But I'm not in school anymore. No more long stretches with nothing to do except write.
All right. If they could do it, I can. Focus on the goal, yes? Set a time. No excuses. Oh, and soundtracks. Soundtracks are good.

No, you still cannot control us

I am about to feel very sad for the women of South Dakota.
It is a long and bitter battle, but is a good fight.
Let them try to exert control over a woman's body. Have they ever seen a tigress get really really mad when she is captured and caged?
I wish desperately that they could keep the religion out. There is no one god to rule us all, nor one religion to find us, nor one law to bring us all and in the darkness bind us.
I do not think it will ever be allowed to reach the federal level, and I am grateful. If they truly want this done, let each individual state decide, but never dare to blanket the nation with one crippling restriction that could possibly lead to anarchy.
Besides, we never take enough care of the children we already have, and the human race keeps growing.
Murder, not murder, whatever it may be, it is never your decision what to do to me.

My freedom is mine.

And that is all I will say. I don't like getting political. So I am done.
Anti-abortionists, plead your case and then leave me be.

How to be smrt without braining one's damage

I think I shall be using all this as research for my novel. After all, my main characters don't just have their own selves living inside them. I like knowing that I am actually somewhat sane, too. *grin*

They really do ask for it by name

So it has been established that my cats love Meow Mix best.
I had bought Friskies food in both dry and wet form, and they ate it up, especially the wet. Then I bought some pouches of Meow Mix wet food, the chicken kind, and the Meow Mix Indoor Formula dry food. I fed the cats the pouches and they went nuts until I ran out and started in with the remaining many cans and pouches of Friskies. I still had a bag of dry Friskies, and a bag of dry Meow Mix Indoor Formula, plus the Friskies that was still in the large feeder bowl. The bags of dry food were on the table that the feeder sits under. I was sitting here in the living room watching TV, when I heard a weird rustling noise coming from the closet area where we keep all the pet stuff. Tuesday had jumped up onto the table and was trying to rip open the bag of Meow Mix with her teeth -- she had ignored the Friskies completely. I chastised her like I would a child, and then, realizing that she was so insistent on Meow Mix Indoor Formula that she actually swatted at me and growled when I pulled her away, I took the bag and the feeder, poured the Meow Mix into the feeder tube over what was left of the Friskies, and set it back in the closet. Tuesday and Puff attacked it as one unit. It was funny to watch.

I have tried many brands -- generic grocery store names, organic foods, classic brands like Purina -- but this is the first time the cats, especially Tuesday who barely eats much at all, really took a liking to a particular brand.
