Yeeeeeaaaahhh, when it comes to dissections I don't think Timmy and I get the same things out of the experience....
Haha, well, she didn't notice until I laughed/groaned at myself about it... I told her what was happening in my head, of course, and she sort of rolled her eyes at me. ...She gets it. A couple of months ago she was the same way with one of her RP characters. He was always checking out people she didn't find attractive.
=^_^= Gosh, thank you! And yeah, I really need to put more work in on Umbrella Man, I haven't touched it in, like, a month, except to type up what I have so far. Must. Finish. First. Chapter. T_T ...Dunno that I'll ever try to publish that one, though. One of these months or years I really do need to get serious about putting in some work on my novels. -_-;;
...This is actually really good practice, though. I've never written ANYTHING novel-length in my life... I started writing a novel-length fic a few years ago, and stopped three chapters in. -_-; So actually working on not one but THREE novel-length stories is kind of a big deal for me. If I can finish even one of them it'll prove to me that I can, that something that long isn't quite so daunting as it seems... and it's invaluable practice in plotting and pacing for something of that length. So. This is a good thing.
