- 10:50 One thing I love about world-building is setting the restrictions (on the world, on the species etc.). Right now I'm working on ghosts. #
- 11:14 @ infinitealis So, is Dreamwidth basically another LJ clone or what? #dreamwidth #
- 12:12 @ infinitealis Sounds cool then. There are a lot of clones, but they use the old codebase. Can't wait to try out DW then. #dreamwidth #
- 12:47 Does anyone know any good songs about ghosts, or that would fit well with a ghost story? I'm working on BONES and need some new music. #
- 12:50 @ Senfaye I've written one novel (& is currently in editing mode) and working on a few others. BONES is the ghost/death story. So songs plz? #
- 12:54 @ Senfaye For info see amynta.org/projects :) I need to update that page though - BONES is current project, not THE SUPERHERO DIARIES #
- 12:57 @ Senfaye Um, I'm pretty varied in tastes - give me a sec and I'll get my last.fm so you can see what I listen to on my iPod. :) #
- 12:59 @ Senfaye www.last.fm/user/disdainful-soul Here we go. Do you use last.fm? #
- 13:03 @ Senfaye Yeah it does. I might try and listen to the Emilie Autumn instrumental stuff, especially Unlaced - electric violin whee! #
- 13:04 Current music: Tori Amos - Crucify #
- 13:10 My poor SongBird install is attempting to load up my entire iTunes library. Poor, poor thing. #
- 13:13 And SongBird just crashed. #
- 13:17 @ Senfaye Welcome to the internet - people suck. I remember a comment I got from a diehard Twilight fan over a short story. is.gd/qbM7 #
- 13:23 @ Senfaye Gee, it's not like I was poking fun at my fave genre, at the genre I've written a novel for or anything! Some people are just dumb. #
- 13:27 @ Senfaye amynta.org/projects/ has more of my writing, including the opener to those novels I was telling you about earlier #
- 13:30 @ Senfaye Glad you liked it. @ReverieBR has read a little bit more, and she liked it. #
- 13:33 Current music: John Rzeznik - I\'m Still Here #
- 13:35 @ Senfaye Three: personal, writing and books. See? catherine-haines.com #
- 13:37 Well, I need to go and have some lunch. Be back in a half hour #
- 13:45 @ reverieBR Hey, tell @Senfaye that Blood Bound is awesome. :P #
- 13:55 @ reverieBR Why are you on mobile AIM if you're home? #
- 13:57 @ reverieBR Turn it off, maybe? #
- 13:58 My IMs are silent. Anyone want to talk to me without a 140 character limit? :P #
- 14:00 @ Senfaye AIM, YIM and MSN. And GTalk #
- 14:02 @ Senfaye it does indeedy #
- 14:40 I think I might try and write a query letter again. Hopefully this one will be better than previous (unsent) attempts #
- 14:42 "Sleep is a gift for the living, and having rejected the peace of eternal rest he is doomed to never close his eyes in slumber again." <3 #
- 14:43 @ MichelleZink Thankies. Sadly this is one kind of writing I cannot wrap my head around. -_- #
- 14:45 @ MichelleZink Yeah. Everyone seems to say the novel is the hard part. They lied! I'd rather write another 80k than a query. But I need it... #
- 15:00 All my query drafts fall apart after the first line: it's very frustrating. I am NOT another one opening-line wonder. :/ #
- 15:08 @ Senfaye LOL! #
- 15:10 @ Senfaye You would do anything for BB, but you won't do that? :P #
- 15:35 Dear local libraries: fix your autocall system so I don't get the call until it's a week overdue, by which you're charging me heaps extra :/ #
- 16:03 @ reverieBR and others: www.chatzy.com/392380247564 the name is accurate. I just am bored and wanna chat. :P #
- 18:00 Am trying to think of a way to describe a relationship from BB. No matter how accurate it is, I can't say "romantically fucked up", sorry. #
- 18:01 Watching St Trinian's. Seeing Lily Cole act makes me so excited for Imaginarium. #
- 19:01 Watching The Phantom Menace. :) #
- 19:06 I CAST "SUMMON BIGGER FISH"! #
- 21:01 One good example of why you should proof-read: you might call your ghost story BONERS instead of BONES. Whoops. Personal #writerfail there. #
- 21:05 I love amusing typos. Like the one for BB where Dee's love-interest was suddenly involved with her brother. Whoops. #
- 22:09 Current music: Sarah McLachlan - Angel #
- 22:39 I just realised I have 1 .net domain (disdainful-soul.net), 1 .org (amynta.org) and now, with the addition of catherine-haines.com, a .com! #
- 22:44 @ rowijo It's Pokemon! I got a Squirtle, then a Bulbasaur, and now I have the complete trio with Charmander. Does that mean .nu is Pikachu? #
- 22:44 @ Tuttlebird Now I have a set. Like Pokemon. :) #
- 22:46 @ rowijo Nah, .nu has been popular but more expensive. .me is like... well, it's not like Gary starting with an Eevee. #
- 22:52 Current music: Enigma - Gravity of Love #
- 22:52 @ rowijo No. .tk redirects can be Magikarp #
