Tuesday and I'm sick from The Cottage of Blog



Cary Elwes, doesn't he make a great villain type? He played the storm chaser in Twister and, among other things, Ted Bundy in a made for TV movie about the serial killer. He's my image of the "mad" professor in "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter," a story about obsessive love.

I'm staying home from school today. I just called in. I am not feeling very well, might be allergies, might be a bug. Lucky Ms. McMinn's book "The Beast Within" arrived yesterday. (not there's no corrolation between the two events)

If I feel better later, I want to reformat the journals in chapter 2 and finish chapter 3 of The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I'm hoping these journals will act as a kind of preliminary first draft, and also act as a basis for action-reaction scenes. I think I mentioned that yesterday, so I won't go in it today. Especially since I feel so punky.

I'm really not sure how many actually words I'm writing a day. When you scribble them out in longhand, you're never really sure. I could probably put the word count together when I get finished with the journal each day. But, I didn't get a chance to transfer the work I'd done in school yesterday, so I'm not sure.

I hope everyone's well.

From the Cottage of Blog I just had a chocolate donut, coffee and cranberry apple juice. (and a bunch of tylenol) Did I mention coffee laced with cinnamon in its grounds is delicious?

Anyway, time to get back into bed. I'm shivering. Not a good sign.

Happy reading, writing and revising.

I love him. He's the perfect villain because he's got an angelic face. Very misleading. :-)
