jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Happy - bouncy elephant)
[personal profile] jadesfire
I slept for six and a half hours straight last night! SIX AND A HALF! That's the most sleep I've had in one go for a fortnight. It's not nearly enough to catch me up, of course, but it's such a good start. Six and a half. Woo hoo! This was probably because I think I got my Big Bang story sorted out, thanks to a patient-beyond-the-call-of-duty [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem, who doesn't mind my breaking off our chats to flail when an idea hits. I'm not sure I'll have it done in time, but at least I know what I'm writing now.

In celebration of all of this, I offer a video my mother sent to me with a warning that "the under 30s might not get it". I did, but I'm mature like that. Its original title was 'The Blonde goes back to work after many years', but since blonde is a state of mind, I don't think we need to leave anyone out.



Have a good weekend everyone!

The sleep is really, really good, thanks. The writing is getting there - I've retreated back to characters I'm happy with and a style I'm happy with. It's all good :)

Of course, right now I'm glaring at my husband who's hoovering the curtains instead of haeding off shopping like he said he would, but I think it's going to be a good day anyway :D

It's great, isn't it?

And it's such a good job no one could see me last night - I kept stopping to wave my hands at the screen and squeak...
