Angel | The Conception Phase

It's the moment you've all be waiting for..... not really?
You could at least let me build up the suspense... now I don't even feel like telling this humongous piece of news ... that's such a colloquial phrase... it doesn't even flow... it has to flow.
Ok... it's a jaw-dropping tidbit of knowledge ..... think that flows a bit better?

Anyhoo... :
I said I would give updates on the Angel story -- and when I start getting update worthy work I'll do just that...

It's surprisingly hard to start a story from scratch when you know your deadline is so close...
Even harder considering the fact that I'm coming off a 2 year long stint of unproductive projects that basically stopped where they started... if I don't count that Sasuke fanfic that's at Chapter 22 and counting... that's a hobby -- Angel and the other works are a career. They're all business, serious stuff, etc.

Maybe that's why it's so hard to start... I'm nervous about messing up - story of my life, and now it's translating to my work... not good.

Also work on a whole terrifies me. I don't like work - obviously I love the fruit of my labor but that's when the labor is so much fun I don't realize I'm... well... laboring.

If it helps any at all, I've figured out how the story is going to start, what's going to happen in the middle, how it's going to end and how the chapter introductions will sound...in a nutshell. Now the hard part is to fill in the blanks.... 175 pages worth.... of blanks... before the 30th....

If I die over the course of writing this novel... I'm leaving this blog in the capable hands of my dear frie-- hey, where'd she go?!
