First off, Happy Birthday, oh, [livejournal.com profile] goalieanna who is called [livejournal.com profile] goalieanna and not, say, [livejournal.com profile] soleilsoul unless one were very drunk and given to mixing up couples' LJs for shits, giggles, and possibly fabulous cash prizes.

Wrote roughly a page's worth of material in the novel last night. Doesn't sound like much, but given that it's the first thing I've cracked in the book in two months, I say bravo for me. I would've done more, but I've hit a sex scene and I'm feeling really squirrely about writing it. I have no intention for it to come off like sophomoric porn, but at the same time... it kind of needs to come off like sophomoric porn. And I was writing in a public place, so every five minutes I'd look up and think, "God, they all know what I'm writing. I'm a bad bad man."

And there will be no references to spilling cold, dead seed. Mainly because Lucas isn't dead, exactly. Again, for chapters that are about three or four behind what I'm actually writing, friend [livejournal.com profile] lanky_writing. You won't regret it. Or you will, but you'll be far too polite to say anything. I would like to note that the thing IS a first draft, so it sucks quite a bit. But the spark of genius is there, and we'll be taking the bellows to it in the second and third drafts.

I found this rather amusing. The part about the Royal Shakespeare Company's poll. [livejournal.com profile] veggiebelle and I will now do the dance of "Oh, how we rock."

I've been listening to Stuart Davis's Flower of a Zero quite a bit, and I think that it would make a fabulous S5 summation vid, once S5 is, in fact, summed. I base this on two lines - "Better forget about halos/You better forget about heroes" and "What's another spike in a muscle." Also, "Can't you take a punch like a lover" (which is meant to be ironic in context) just screams Destiny-style Spike/Angel hoyay. The only problem is that the actual title of the song, I suspect, refers to the feminine genitals. And for a season so entirely lacking in female sexuality... Yeah. So that'd take some working. Also, there's the part where I may be entirely misinterpreting the song. Stuart Davis's lyrics are often ambiguous on top of being deeply oblique.
