Grrr. Arggh.

Not much sleep last night. This is unfortunately because I woke up in the middle of the night with new game mechanics in my head. For, sadly, a 'weird west' sort of game, which is not a genre that I usually have any interest in. Percentile based, without structured magic available to PCs, but 'hoodoo' that PCs can purchase as character quirks and powers. Things like 'the evil eye' and 'gambling mojo'. I couldn't stop /thinking/ about it. For three hours, from about four to seven, I tossed and I turned, and I wrestled with stats and skills in a half-asleep daze. WHY? *weep*

Also, I am once more attempting to get the maintainence people to fix my light. And slowly cleaning my house. The kitchen is as clean as I can make it without being able to see. The living room is almost presentable. Once it is, I'll tackle the bathroom. The bedroom, sadly, is likely to remain the Junk Depository room, at least for the foreseeable future. S'just the way it is.

Finally, OMGWORKTRIP. I am not spazzing yet, but the spaz will come. Oh, yes. Sadly, I don't think anyone on my friends' list is within a very short hop of where I'll be going, or I'd try to arrange food. As it is, I will be taking my schoolbooks, and possibly my PS2 w/DVDs and games up there. I'm off 'work' by three on Thursday, and will need something to do. :D

Sure, if I could ever /finish/ anything. Right now, I wouldn't hire me for a writing project. I'm too flaky, unless I have collaborator to work with. And then I'm too pushy and over-enthusiastic, and people end up hitting me on the head with things.

Or she chooses to collaborate with people even flakier than she is and nothing gets done. :p

We just need to, y'know, work on it. *hangs head*

Good point, there was a (slightly snooty) quote from Neil Gaiman along the lines of "Anyone can start a story, writers can finish one"

*peers at a HD full of half finished writing*Er...yes..

*grins* It's /true/ The finishing is what counts. I can start like anything.
