Randomosity in a nutshell, if that's even a word. ;)

This post will, I hope, be considerably shorter than the last few have been.

I suppose I just wanted to update.

I'm finally, actually, working on my book right now. I can't vouch for actual additions (in any supreme length) or extensive editing, but I've been doing little minor touches here and there. Not to mention the fact that I have got the next chapter (chapter 28, unbelievable as it is) all mapped out, I just need to figure out the logistics of it so I can write it out in full. I reached my 240 page marker today, which is thoroughly exciting.

I've also hit a bit of a dilemma. My antagonist comes down with some sort of fatal illness, one which I haven't quite figured out. It's very complicated to the plot-line, and exhausting doing the research on it to match things up, because it can't be highly contagious, or my protagonists will die as well. I've been doing some more research tonight, as I did some months ago when I hit this roadblock, but I still haven't really uncovered just the perfect disease. The time period (which the book is in) is appropriate enough for the Black Death, but - the symptoms for the least fatal version (ie. the only version of it not able to be passed human to human) doesn't have the symptoms I'm really looking for. I've almost decided it should just be some sort of pneumonia, but I can't really be satisfied with the fatality rate of it, or the rapidness of the illness itself.

Hm. Yeah, odd thing to be thinking of, no doubt. (grins)

I'm still debating what to do with my father. I've been talking to L. (my best friend) who's gone down to visit her mom for a week and half, and to see her new little half-brother. She's partly the reason I haven't gotten to bed before three in the morning for about a week. But, a lot of that is me, too. Lol.

Anyway, I haven't really got anything of substance to impart.

I finally picked up the book I need to study to get my driver's license. So, I should be able to get that out of the way by at least the end of the month. (winks) I honestly will get it done though, finally, I have full confidence in myself. (sticks tongue out at incredulous looks from imaginary audience) . . . .

Um. Yeah.

I'm rather enamored of peace sign necklaces. I've only just (finally - which seems to be my favorite word at the moment) bought my first one. I don't buy necklaces often, and I never seem to find any peace sign necklaces that I like. But, the above necklace is just something I found online. Isn't it awesome? (grins)

And this one, you have to look a little closer to see the charms on it, but, I think it's quite charming (if you'll excuse the pun). Lol.

And lastly:

Though mine is only on a little silver chain. Oh well. Life goes on. (winks)

Ta, then.
