Ok, mostly for those writers out there, but I guess it could relate to artists too.
Do you feel funny if you're using the wrong tools?

Just an idea I thought of when doing my latest short fic. I wrote half of it in a black pen and it looked awful. As soon as I switched to my usual blue biro, all was well. Do you ever find things like this? You have to use the same pen, type of paper? Or f you're computer users, how about typing up a story on someone else's keyboard?
I think that last one would really rile me up.
Or maybe I'm just being crazy and it doesn't matter to you guys, just what I think.

*needs to get more images for userpics*

In other news...wait there's nothing.
Oh, a german speaking test tomorrow, but that's not important. Well it is, but admitting that means revising. Nooo.

Well, I was thinking of giving a small intro to some of my characters, as they are more a part of me than I am (if that makes sense, which it does not). I wasn't going to do a whole entry on it, but as I've started...
They're all from NaNo, which is still really incomplete and needs editing all over.

Leigh - The kickass heroine of just 14 years of age. Reasonably short, with cropped hair and a confident attitude. If I was stuck in a dark alley, she'd be the one I'd rely on for my rescue.

Damien - Leigh's younger step-cousin. Short, pale, blonde and moody. Has bulimia. Complains about everything sarcastically. Somewhat obvious he's going to hit a personality 180 by the end.

Vanessa - Leigh's nextdoor neighbour, probably shorter than your knees with curly hair dyed an impossible red. A total crackpot in so many senses of the word. A lot more intelligent than she'll ever let on.

Kathy - The brains of the operation, and also the heart. She believes in al things warm, fuzzy and kind-hearted. Clever, and surprisingly cynical when muttering under her breath.

Alex, Tenby and Ethan are older character, roughly 18, who are general comic relief - getting up to dorm antics and minor criminal activities whilst on sugar highs. What can I say?

Farewell for another day
((what a pompus ending...))
