A Friday night update before newsletters get put together
I've been terribly depressed lately. I think it's just my normal moodiness, not brought on by anything. I was invited to a movie tonight at the cinema pub by my militant atheist friend but I don't feel like returning her call, let alone actually going out with her. It wouldn't kill me, I can afford a movie and dinner but... *shrug* I really don't feel like it. I have my MSN open in order to not become completely hermitfied. (new word!) Wanky and wankified are also words now. I wanted to be wanky last night but I was not.

You would have been proud of me really.

HP_summergen on LJ has officially ended and I'm happified with my fic and art. I loved them and I loved writing for complete strangers enough that I think I'll hunt out another fic exchange in the future. But not right now. Right now I have too many things to write. I have to fix the ending of my long contest fic. I didn't like the ending as I had originally written it so I started expanding it, but I'm running out of room. For the contest, it can only be 4,000 words, (*glares at mollytype*) and I'm at 3,100. I don't know if I can make a go of it in 900 words.

The things that trouble long-winded historians/novel writers. *sigh*

Speaking of novels, I'm 150 pages away from printing out my book and working up a synopsis. I realized the other day that I will need a new ream of paper just for that! I also need to grab some more paper for school next week. *squeesniff* I have been using yellow paper all summer. See, when I did a presentation last spring, I made "get out of death free" cards for the class, and I printed them on yellow paper (similar to Monopoly cards... anyway...) I had a whole ream of yellow paper afterwards. But I don't think Doc will want my drafts/proposals/etc handed in on yellow paper. Just a hunch. I have all my history textbooks. I've even read one of them from cover to cover! Headstart!

Okay, instead of complaining about how horrid my day was at work, I'm going to go find 'of age' smut fics to highlight for my newsletter. ;-)
