Just Call Me Brick Red
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008
If you’ve been following the little indicator on the sidebar (scroll down!) you’ll see that I am about 75% done with my current book, THE PHANTOM’S TOUCH. This is good, yes?
Well, yes…and no. See, the book is due in two weeks. I have a lot left to write. Today, I’m enjoying that 75%, because I’m about certain I’m going to cut two chapters in a few minutes. Cut. Slashed. Gone. Dropped to 70%. Or worse.
And yet, that February 1st deadline isn’t going anywhere.
This is the hard part of writing, I think…when you realize that something you’ve written is utter crap and has to go. Okay, it’s not crap. I mean, I’m sure it’s written well and all that. But I just completed a massive revision (self-imposed) on the first 3/4 of the book and those last two scenes just don’t fit anymore. Thanks to Leslie, my heroine is an emotional wreck in a scene I just added that wasn’t there before. That changes everything that will now come afterward…so those two scenes? No longer fit.
So, since I need to be writing today and not blogging, I’m posting a quiz. Have fun! I’ll check back in later with an update on my progress.

You Are a Red Crayon |
 Your world is colored with bright, vivid, wild colors. You have a deep, complex personality - and you are always expressing something about yourself. Bold and dominant, you are a natural leader. You have an energy that is intense… and sometimes overwhelming. Your reaction to everything tends to be strong. You are the master of love-hate relationships. Your color wheel opposite is green. Green people are way too mellow to understand what drives your energy. |
I’m red…like my hair! The only thing that I take exception to is that my opposite is green. Green is my favorite color. My house is green in nearly every room…when it’s not blue, a color I love, but that I can’t wear. I wear a lot of green. It brings out the green in my hazel eyes and usually goes great with my red hair. But then, I’m a Gemini, which means I have a split personality. That works for me.
What color crayon are you?
I love crayons. Does anyone else still love crayons? I get all excited and buy those 96 packs for my daughter all the time…and I think I use them more than she does. (She prefers markers…but they have no subtelty. I’m a crayon girl!)
