What Are You Thinking?

[Shadow]

This is why, nearly six drafts on, I'm still writing.
I've also been thinking, in regards to writing, at which point does sexual tension, flirting and so on become out right erotica -_-; When I started this, I never thought I'd need to think about that...

It's a never-ending struggle, right? D: I don't think we're ever meant to stop editing...I think it's the writer's curse.
I've wondered that, too. :S I've noticed a lot of romance-based stories seem to turn into erotica around the mid-point of the story. (Makes me wonder, is it because they're trying to live through their characters? Is it because they don't know what else to do to show how close the characters are? Are they just being lazy and trying the "instant gratification" route?) I think flirting and sexual tension (and even smut) is fine as long as it doesn't overload the story and kick the plot out the window, y'know? Like "yep, these two characters are hooking up, but hey! There's a bad guy that's much more important so let's put that on the back burner so they can save the world!"
I'm sorry if I'm rambling.... -gets carried away-

a person: Black history month? Why isn't there a WHITE history month?

Me: Because you ask questions like that.

It's a tough one.
The story isn't nessacerally a romance, though two of the characters develop down those routes and a third character provides the nessacary jeers for a love-triangle of sorts (though more in the female protagonists head than the males bed). I am hopefully now on the final of the drafts/rewites. About 1/3 done.

Met the cutest girl today. Her eyes were gentle, like the light of a phone screen. And her smile glowed, like the light from a phone screen.

What? It's not my fault that Mother Nature decided to give the magnetic field the shape of a pair of testicles.

Well, at least it's easy to remember.

If you wanna make people mad, talk about politics. If you wanna make people FURIOUS, talk about video games.

The left one reminds me of a bug, the right one looks more like half an apple. Where do you see a pair of testicles is beyond me. XD

I'm guessing you visited the Gamefaqs forums?

Dunno, maybe cause as a male, I got more familiarity with it than you do. LOL

But no seriously, those ovoid forms are unmistakable.

Season 2 of Agent Carter is still awesome.

After craving a burger for over a month and waiting and waiting...I've had it ruined by someone spiking it with a jalapeño. D: Why? Whyyyyyyy??? :'(

+ Urgh, gotta do dishes and then get this asada marinading. Why did I agree to cooking for everyone? There was a reason, but I can't recall.

<3 So many b-day wishes today. I feels da luvs!

Hm, I think I'm going to write and maybe finish up The Witcher so I can get to the Witcher 2 soon. hehehe I've also been wanting to play Dark Souls (watching someone live stream it the yesterday) and feel like playing my self. Would be fun to live stream it but I don't have the video capture equipment to live stream from my ps3. >.> Oh well I have other games I can live stream. ;3

And I got the book from the library: Sword of Destiny! Woot. <3

It's funny that the mall wifi doesn't let me access sites for games when I'm right next to a gamestop

You stay away from those dating sims boy! Love Plus will change your life.....

Crap! You read nothing!

In other news, Kamen Rider #1's new form is cute! I approve of bulky Rider!

I want to find love.

I want... You know... apart from love lol.

I have to ask real world friends for help dubbing my project. I've hit a new low...

When will it warm up?


"BOOMSHAKABOOM!" Excuse me, that was my brain exploding.

I'm lying in bed with two covers over me, an olbas inhaler, tub of vaporub, and a box of tissues to the side of me. Y'know, all you need when you don't feel well is the comfort of your own bed, and the reassurance that (despite the runny nose, lack of smell and taste, and the cough), life is actually pretty good. You've just got to hibernate for a few days until you realise that, though.

I still can't believe I completely missed the whole #GamerGate controversy.

It literally had no affect on me or anyone else that I knew.
So every time I see an anti/pro GGer getting all worked up, I'm just left feeling kinda confused or left out.

So I'm not alone in the club.

For a minuite I thought you had some strange kinks...well, strange kinks to share in a public forum anyway!

I'm at my desk at work, long day ahead but pleased I got some work done on the train in!
