urbandruidI've been up since 10:00 (bloody neighbors just had to have that loud conversation right below my window, didn't they? ugh) but I haven't really gotten a lot done. I guess I'm getting lazy.
Ten days left in NaNoWriMo, and I know I'm going to hit the 50K. I'm at 48-something now; I can hit 50 in ten days, no problem. I don't know that the book itself will be done by the 30th, because I do have so much left to do plot-wise, and I'm sort of stuck with school and other things that take time away from writing. Plus the fact I'm just not greatly motivated right now.
Has anyone else noticed, by the way, that almost all of my icons are depressing? Including this one.
I was looking for inspiration for my novel yesterday, so I popped Ladyhawke in the VCR. I hadn't seen it for years, but it's still one of my favorite movies. Despite a few things which I had forgotten all about... like the fact that the soundtrack is... bad. Beyond bad, and into atrocious in some points. I was laughing all the way through the opening credits, because the music is just so- off. It doesn't seem to fit the story in most places at all. And, too, there is some really bad acting (the bishop? seriously lame), and yeah, it's a little- well, my mother would call it "hokey". But I like it. It's cute and it's sad and sort of poignant, and it has a nice happy ending.
So today I was inspired to make depressing Ladyhawke icons. I stopped at one, because I do have real work to do.
Unfortunately the movie didn't help me much with my novel, though I did get some good laughs watching the bishop's guards trot around the countryside looking like morons. What I did get was a very annoying number of ideas for Ladyhawke fanfic. Just what I need, more voices in my head. Perhaps that would explain my headache; Isabeau and Navarre are duking it out with Cait, Tallinor, and the rest of the novel gang somewhere up in my sinuses.
Then again, maybe I've just finally snapped. Yeah, that's probably it.
