Diary of a Scribe Day 24

I thought for sure that Saturday would be the day I'd get back to work. I worked on my review, but that's about it. I was just too tired, and too ready for this week to be OVER.

I mean, I got ready for, and attended a big concert, spent time in TWO gay clubs AND had to deal with my birthday as well as work.

No wonder I was exhausted.

I don't actually get out much. I'm not a hermit, but I'm not the kind to go out to the club on a weekly basis. Only once in a blue moon, when there is a special occasion.

Well, on this special occasion, I got a lap dance from a gay with a white mohawk who was grinding on me while telling me that my roots were showing.

And the second time that week, I had a lovely drag queen buy me a birthday shot. The Boom is da bomb, y'all. That's for sure. Copa no more! Boom is here to stay!

Diary of a Scribe Day 14

Well, we're two weeks in!

And of course I'm showing signs of stopping.

Bleh.

I don't know if it's my lazy coming out or if it's the story. I'm needing more time to get into this groove. Next week is going to be a hellacious mess, what with Gaga and Nikola and my birthday...I'd better at least TRY to get something done this week.

I've decided on shorter chapters for this story. I think this one needs to be the length of a Harlequin Temptation, or a Silhouette Special Edition. My first seems nearly like the thickness of Shakespeare's Complete Works.

I think another of my problems is that I'm detailed oriented. I've never been to a setting like I'm writing on...In fact, I'm not entirely sure something like this exists, so I can go ahead and do what I want, but I don't want to copycat myself. I have three stories in the grand scheme of things directly involving the theatre, a subject that I know scads about, but I don't know anything about a dance cabaret.
Not a strip club, I have to make that distinction VERY clear.

I need some new viewing material. True Blood is NOT inspirational. Doctor Who IS a bit inspirational, if you really look at the characters. For me, the sci fi stuff takes a back seat to the characters(Dickens, Amy Pond, River Song, Shakespeare). I would love a sonic screwdriver, though.
