On that note, after a slacky Magee kind of week, from a writing standpoint, I absolutely had to hit up the bar until I finished this week’s Scurvytown. I really don’t know what it is about HD Beans that keeps me going back. I suppose I have just sort of found my writing comfort zone there.
I think next time I’ll sneak a few shots of the bar and post them here. Maybe.
Tonight was cool because they were running $2 happy hour specials, and I cracked up the entire bar (okay, 3 people) when I ordered two beers, stating, “There’s no shame in double-fisting!” Two beers, their amazing chicken salad croissant, and a cinnamon latte = awesome. I wrote like a freak because the sammich was on the line, meaning I played a game of, “Hey fatty, you want that sammich, you better write for it!” And I was really hungry after spending lunch break getting cat food and some sweet discount stuff at the Tri-County Target, so yeah, believe it when I say I wrote like a freak.
Then, instead of going home and getting to bed early like a good girl, I went over to my friend’s house. We’ll call her Buffy since I recently got her addicted to BtVS like a good little Whedonite. We chatted for awhile about this and that, and then, whoosh 10pm came around and, well, I realize now that when I said “Yeah I can handle a latte at 8pm,” I was full of shit because here it is after midnight, and I am wired.
Stupid.
Anyway, I may have written like a freak tonight, but the writing was not my best. I’ll have a lot of work going into the weekend on getting episode 5 ready to post. That’s okay, though. I think my problem is that I have this great new character I’ve created and I am so ready to launch into her story, but I can’t until I’ve spent the next few weeks telling the story I’ve started. It’ll get better, though, I just need to write it all out and honestly, be funnier.
So, now, time to punch myself in the face* until I fall asleep. I have to be at work wicked early in order to get FREE BACON. Yeah!
* I don’t actually punch myself in the face, that’s a joke, and not even a good one. See? I am totally off my game this week.
