And me! What would I do if I had nowhere to ramble? (well, bore the other firstyear girl to death, probably...)

This topic does help. I got some writing done last night thanks to this topic! (Well, the last one.) Hopefully I can get some more tonight.

Infinity will always listen to me, but, somehow, I get the impression he's just humoring me.
That's why I started the old place. So people like we could have a place to talk.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
My writing is so slow-going right now....
it's just to do with the fact that I have nowhere really to write.....it's always full here.....with people....and I simply cannot write when there's people moving around me....

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
So, tonight, I'm going to file for divorce from my PS2. That game I was playing is pissing me off, anyway. Plus, I keep thinking of whole chapters where I'm like "Yeah, I should write that. That's good stuff!" Plus, I have two or three entries I need to write up in my blog.
*sigh*
Thanks to whomever fired up the new thread. You're making me come back to my senses.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
My husband works today, so I can write. The thing is I just hit this point where I looked at my story and went, "Ohmygod. It's all CRAP! (added various nastywords) What was I *thinking*?!?"
So, yeah, kinda funny. Not gonna stop, though. Not no way, not no how. Onward, forward, upward. Sideways. Whatever.
Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

All of those characters I've recruited in Suikoden Tactics over the past couple of weeks will do a wonderful job raising them, I'm certain. Or at least show them the best way to kill an Ostrichman. ;-)

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
How is Suikoden Tactics, by the way? I played games 1 and 2 of that series and they were solid.
Oh, and I got a new motivation for a confusing character, so things should be a little easier in one story.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......

Personally, I like it. But I really liked Final Fantasy Tactics, too. It depends on your tastes when it comes to strategy games. The only frustrating thing is characters can die and be gone forever, so there's a lot of resetting going on.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
I'm so motivated to write right now, but have got so little time that I've actually started to write on the bus (one of the good things about writing by hand). But as I've only got less than 30 minutes each time, my writing is a bit... fragmentary.
Oh well. Just keep writing. Just keep writing.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
That always works. :)
I'm still at the 'freaky crap' part so I've slowed down some. I'm hoping to do some work on it today, though. All the nastiness will have to be repaired when I'm done.
Dude, that is gonna be some real tough fixing.

Re: to ramble about our stories some more......
thanks, Jen!
this had me somewhat confused at first... not to mention slightly desperate *g*
not that I have anything to ramble about at the moment.
