Diana's Writing Blog

Yeah, I’m super late posting an update. Mostly because I was home visiting my sister before she goes back to college. We shopped and I fixed her laptop and we watched tons of crappy scary movies and went to see Juno in the theater.

We had so much fun that it couldn’t be squeezed into one weekend. Round about 3:30 on Sunday it was still snowing heavily and my sister and I hadn’t gone to Juno yet. So, it was either drive through a blizzard for 3 hours or call in sick to work and go see a movie. I chose movie. Turned out to be a good choice. Juno was awesome.

Anyway, I hung around Monday and met my sister and I met Mom and Dad for lunch at KFC. Then I took off and made it home almost before the sun went down, which is good because the only thing worse than driving through the snow is driving through snow in the dark. The weather was pretty good, though. It only snowed really bad for about half an hour of the 2 and a half hour trip.

In other news, I’m still squeeing over the AWESOMENESS of Torchwood. Granted, James Marsters as an omnisexual, morally ambiguous badass is kind of a can’t miss premise for an episode. But the writers also threw in hilarious dialogue and they actually made James’ and John’s characters’ relationships endearing.

Basically, James Marsters plays the classic hot ex who you know is bad for you and you know they bring out the worst in you. But you’ve got so much history and they’re so damn hot that you have to keep reminding yourself that screwing them would be a really bad idea.

So, in writing news, I’ve reached 60,000 words and am nowhere near done. So, I’m jumping the goal up to 100,000 words. Sheesh. I hope it won’t take that long, though.

Oh, and I’m typing it up on Google Docs so I can work on it both at work and at home and it’s gotten so big that I had to split the file in two to avoid Google’s document size limit. Sweet merciful Jesus.
