Friday is a good day. A woman's day.

Angsty!Meg is now less angsty. Nothing like a good book and Eddie Izzard to act like Writer's Drain-O when you've got writer's clog. Cake or death, indeed.

My new layout is up! It should work just fine in everyone's browsers, but if it doesn't let me know. I tested in Safari and Firefox, but IE might want to be wonky. IE doesn't like livejournal layouts as a whole, it seems.

I finished Cast In Secret last night and started the very, very beginning of Ink & Steel. I now realize that I have a buttload of book reviews to put up. I haven't reviewed anything since, like, May I think. And I've read quite a bit in that time.

I'm back working on the Tower!Guy story, with renewed enthusiasm. While I still have feelings of "wow, I suck as a writer", I also know that the story itself isn't broken. Plus, I'm getting closer to the end and my wordcount is staying down. Yay! Hopefully I won't have a ginormous 120k doorstop of doom like I did last time.

Yay, I'm so glad. I know how frustrating those moments can be.

And it's especially good to know that I have people out there who are willing to give me some encouragement through them.

Thanks for your earlier comments. It did help. :)

I know it helps me too, to know that other writers experience the same ups and downs. Most of what writers do is solitary work so it's easy to forget that we're all working through the same problems in different stories.
