I'm not sure if we should be thanking Renegade and his wife or The Doctor for saving the world yesterday (100 points to whoever got that first reference and 50 for the second).
But since it has been saved, I did get to see the Hobbit last night. It was amazing. I loved it. I'm such a nerd that I'm already planning a huge marathon for when all of the Hobbit is done starting with Unexpected Journey straight through Return of the King (extended editions of course).
But to the true point of all of this. Despite my general laziness lately, I am very proud to say that I actually did write yesterday. I wrote quite a bit actually. Over eight thousand words I believe. I was aiming for twelve, but The Hobbit called my name. Well and my boyfriend when he arrived at the mall after work. But I digress.
I'm really happy that I made myself write yesterday. It got me through a lot of scenes that I might have put off which I really have to stop doing. I have to treat this story much like the first. I have to follow it through to the end no matter how much I may or may not like that conclusion. But considering how things are going I have a feeling I am going to have to toss my trilogy idea out of the window. And I really did think I could make this a trilogy. But I don't think that I can anymore. There is just too much in this world, too many characters too many paths to follow and ideas to discover. Especially since even I am discovering new things about the world.
Can't mention what though. Spoilers and all.
But with Christmas coming up and since I'm off three days in a row after 6:30 tonight, I think I am going to have to force myself to go through more scenes. It's scary, but it's exciting. I like discovering things about the characters and trying to figure out why some characters who were only in a scene or two in the book before might become important or have an impact that justifies the scenes that you saw them in before. Though I'm still trying to figure out why I should let them live, but I am trusting these characters to tell me their stories and I am determined to see it all the way through to the end. I owe them that much.
They trusted me with their words in the first place. The least that I could do is make sure that I show them a proper justice.
