Corey was at his sleepover at scout camp last night, so James and I could go to the cinema and see something with a rating higher than 12a. We went to see Pan's Labyrinth ( mainly because I didn't tell him about the subtitles until we were actually waiting for the film ) All I can say is, wow! Seriously, it's one of the best movies I've seen for a long time. Harsh and gut wrenching at times, but just so good.

After that it was some midnight grocery shopping, which was good because I was nearly out of coffee and was starting to eye up the nasty instant cappuccinos that have been in the cupboard for the last few years.

Sadly, there was no lie in this morning as James is at work. Which reminds me. You know what he got for his Secret Santa gift? A Santa suit and a Christmas cake. I tell you, he should have taken in the wodka.

SeSa is a fearsome beast. Despite the fact I seem to have been working on it for the last 8997356279 years, there's still so much to do. I'm at the point where you look at it and think, if I change things here I could end the story now. Problem is, I know I could do that, but the story I have in my head, the story I want to tell, is much longer. But, I have time still. Most of today as Corey, James and I are going to see Eragon tonight, tomorrow night once C's in bed. Then three full days. Talk about taking it to the wire. So, I guess all I can do is apologise for the flist skimming in advance.

Yep.

It's such a random thing to give. I mean, what's he supposed to do with it the rest of the year?

Oh, how I know the temptation to just end it. In fact, I may have done so last night. I have to read it again today and see what I think. But SeSa is not the time for another Epic. I spoiled myself with the amount of words I was able to produce in such a short amount of time with that story, and I'm saying to myself, hey I have five more days! I can easily write another 10,000 words. But, no. The Epic was a one time thing and I'll never be able to do that again.

But I know that whether you find the time to tell the story in your head, or end it now, it'll be fabulous. Your writing is so good, it'll work either way.

I have serious awe about what you pulled off for the epic. That amount of words in such a short amount of time is amazing. My sesa story could have gone longer if I'd let it, but like you said, sesa time isn't the time for epics.

Don't you just know that I go through that all the time? LOL

No matter what you decide to do, I'm certain it will be wonderful and your recipient will enjoy it. :)

Stories soon!

And because the stress of one SESA story isn't quite enough, I just picked up a back-up story late last night. Less than 20 hours to deadline! LOL
