Feb. 10th, 2007 07:18 pmMy kitchen is full of food right now. Sandwich stuffings and cakes and pies and so much chocolate. If nothing else, the party will have enough food. The SiL has done a great job, especially with the cake. She made it like a rugby pitch, complete with posts and flags, so very cool. Later we've got a load of balloons to blow up, but apart from that, things are pretty much done. For today anyway, tomorrow is going to be chaos.
I was updating my site today, and it reminded me of my desire to write something long. It's something I've said for a while, but I've never done anything about it. I'd really like to do something 50,000 words plus. Boxes is over 26,000 and Always Known went over 20,000, but I worry that I'll run out of things to say, or that I won't be able to maintain interest in a story that long. Still though, one day I'm going to give it a try. Try and prise that epic out of me. Of course I'd need an idea first, that would be good.
I also sorted through my files and found stuff I'd forgotten I'd written. Including a depressing little story where someone is strung out on drugs and the start of another that actually sounds interesting. If only I could remember what the heck I was going to write.
