Indecisive
Tuesday, 21 April 2009 04:28Slept late on my birthday, then did a little housework (laundry, vacuuming). The family really wanted to take me out for dinner, so we went to a family-owned Italian restaurant (not the one in Silver Spring that I really like; they don't do dinner on Sundays) and I had cheese tortellini in a four cheese sauce and cannoli for dessert. Yum.
Spent yesterday laying around and playing WoW. Doing the insomnia thing tonight (hence the 4a posting), but I actually have to be up and about today (therapy in the afternoon, and I need to go past the house first to pick up the check and maybe do some picking up). I know I can actually manage a normal sleep schedule; I just don't have any specific reason to right now, so I can't be bothered. Bad idea, I know.
In unrelated news, I'm having structural issues with my
stargate_summer fic. I've never really written a novel-length story before; An Apple a Day is practically individual fic, and each "chapter" has a specific prompt; and Osprey, the unfinished original novel I started, God, ten years ago, came to me completely structured, and I just had to fill the framework in. I'm much more blind on this one, and I'm having issues figuring out where to divide the chapters. I'm using a limited third person to narrate, but the focus character (whose thoughts they are) is going to change from one section to the next. Should a single chapter have only one narrator? Should there be some sort of mini-cliffhanger to take the reader into the next chapter? I have a feeling I should ignore this for now and come back to it during beta, or at least not until Part 1 is done, but I'm getting hung up on it, since right now I'm just writing individual scenes, and I''m pretty sure I'll want some sort of separation in the final version. Ugh, I don't know.
