I think it was the stress of JulNo combined by my crumbling soul in the face of the infamous SORRY-MADE-IT-WORSE rejection,but somehow I ended up writing about slippers. Magical slippers. No, really. Mutant chickens: you have a new competitior for Weirdest Plot Device Evar.
However, I still think I prefer the mutant chickens, purely because they were made by teh Smudgemuffin.
(Some interesting trivia - google smudgemuffin fanclub at you get TS2UK. It made me sporfle at least xD)
.
Anyhoos, I'm now pretty much satisfied with Chapter Uno, and am moving on to Chapter Deux - which is quite the achievement seeing as I didn't even open the thing since the aforementioned SORRY-MADE-IT-WORSE rejection. Feel free to offer me sympathy or cake here, or, if you're in a more sadistic mood, berate me for being a wussy emo kid :p
(Or emo kitten, depending on your measure of love for the almighty LOLcat.)
But!
(Wait for it...)
We are now rolling onwards into the next chapter. However, I'm slightly stuck on a number of issues, so I appeal to my dear readers for their invaluable help. And what does help make? COOKIES! Help makes om nom nommy virtual cookies! (And everybody loves cookies! :D)
So, without further ado:
.
TEH ISSUES OF DOOM
Are as follows:
.
1. Stick with Aoife / Change to Callie
I was originally thinking of doing alternating chapters because there's two very sepearate storylines going on in the Book of Wonder, and it would be the easiest way to get both across. However, the tone of Aoife/Callie's parts are quite different, even though it's all in third (screw first person, I don't want to inhabit their twisted minds!). So, whilst I want to tell both parts of the story, and I don't want to have the reader mind tripping all over the place.
(I also really like writing Callie. Mainly so I can get that mental torture JUST RIGHT.)
xD
2. Eddy
Where the heck do I even start with this one? He's supposed to have got the hell out of my novel, and yet he's still clinging on by the pure strength of his... urm... geekitude, I suppose. Bad dork-boy! Baaaaddd.
He's screwing up my Grande Plans in his absence, and he's contributing to my treachorous-gastrinomical-devices problem in his presence.
Also, Callie is striking in protest, which probably makes me sound crazy. Then again, I never really denied the craziness :p

So, I'm thinking Eds will have to make a return to the Book of Wonder, soon to be renamed Book of Phail due to my non-existant willpower.
The only other alternative would be to make a replacement character, which I really don't want to do, or totally redraft the Epic Plot, which I'm far too lazy to do.
DAMN YOU EDDY.

:D

3. Inner Editor
For some reason I've got it into my head that this is going to be TEH BEST NOVEL EVAR/Book of Wonder, and thus I am being interrupted after every sentence by the inner editor I never knew I possessed, who, in case you were wondering, turned out to be a raging bitch.
DIE, INNER EDITOR, DIEEEEE.
DIE, INNER EDITOR, DIEEEEE.
Annndd, I believe that is all!
Well, part from the need to say:
SUNSET ENDING 2008 FTW.
(Serious squeeage took place that night, for it was made of awesome.)
