Todays music: Disney's hero songs

First the good news! I finished editing today! Yeah! It feels so good to have this beast finished! It only gained 1000 more words, but I'm happy. If it wants to be short, that's fine with me.

In other news, a dream that I had yesterday gives me the first quarter (maybe that much) of a brand new novel. I hate that I get new ideas when I've got so much I need to do. But this one is bursting to get out, you know how new ideas are. I've got to do the synopsis for EG, but maybe I can work on both. I've now set aside two hours a day for five days a week for just writing, so I should have time to work on both.

Okay, bad news: In a depressive fit this weekend, I pigged out. :( There was a small life crisis occured that I'm not ready to discuss here, everything's okay now, but it was kinda devestating for a day or two. The bright side to it is that, eating wise, I hit rock bottom and all that's left is to climb myself out of the hole. I've decided that for the rest of the dare, 11 weeks, I'm going to do my carb fast thing. I did this for three months one year and I felt great. See, I'm addicted to carbs, sugars, breads, pasta, all that yummy stuff. Fasting from it helps me deal with it. So from now on, I'm a meat, veggies, and fruit gal.

Anybody have any suggestions for my synopsis? I've never written one. I'm going to scrounge all my writing books for any essay or tips on writing one. There's a website that has a bunch of articles about writing, I'll check it out and see if there's one on a synopsis. This is going to be a fun new experience. TTFN!
