Rec and Life

Instarec! Need a good laugh today? Then check out reddwarfer's Pit Stop. Jay and Silent Bob make a pit stop in Sunnydale. It's extremely short, and dead on and funny. I love crack fics that make a certain amount of sense in their universe(s), and this fits that perfectly.

I finished cleaning my windows today. Um, yay? I hate housework. I love to cook, I'm glad I stay home with the kids, but I hate housework. ::Sigh:: Do I get a prize for finishing? Trevor's fighting off an ear infection, apparently (I thought it was a sinus one) and Toby's been being... three recently. I'm really ready for... I don't know. A break in my routine, I guess.

Posting Chapter 6 tomorrow. I can't wait. I'm already five pages in on Chapter 7, although I need to tone back some of the jargon a little, I think. It's not really interesting :) I also really have to get moving on my Remix. Note to self, just because I know EXACTLY what I'm going to do with it doesn't mean it's actually done. I still have to, y'know, put the words on, erm, paper, I guess, metaphorically.

I did get to see Angels and Demons, and um, I believe someone on my flist said that I'll confess to Ewan McGregor any day. Yeah, that totally sums it up. Although what accent was he using? The man is a very good actor, unless you ask him to do an accent. (I still have nightmares about his American accent in Black Hawk Down.)

Must finish Star Trek review. I guess I'll put that on my to-do list for this afternoon.

Must also go. Sesame Street is almost over, and I think I'll take the kids to Target and the pet store. Not that we have or want pets, but I'm sure the employees really appreciate me treating it like a free zoo :P

Come Naval Gaze with me!

I'm sitting here working on Chapter 7 of A Lot to Live Up To (rather than my Star Trek review or my remix or my novel), and I find myself stuck. I can't say much because it really spoils chapter 6, but I'm having to write one of those conversations that's a turning point in someone's life, not much is said, and is incredibly emotional and intense all at once, but stuff has to be said on the surface. If that doesn't make sense, ask me tomorrow who the conversation is between, and it will make total sense. I'm also playing Scramble as a form of procrastination.

However, Scramble is not satisfying my desire for grown up conversation. So. A few questions for you all.

1.) What was one technically (not emotionally) hard scene you ever had to write? Feel free to talk about the process, if you liked the scene when you were done, to post it with DVD commentary, to post it without commentary, whatever.

2.) What was one of the scenes you had the most fun writing? Feel free to talk about the process, if you liked the scene when you were done, to post it with DVD commentary, to post it without commentary, whatever.

3.) What is one scene you've written that you think was intensely powerful, and you are incredibly proud of? Feel free to talk about the process, if you liked the scene when you were done, to post it with DVD commentary, to post it without commentary, whatever.


My answers are beneath ( the cut )

Well, I didn't talk much about process or anything, but I'm curious as to what all of your own scenes you guys like. So, naval gaze in my journal!!! Yay!!!
