Aug. 3rd, 2006 08:53 amFinally my inherent laziness paid off yesterday. I took my car in for an early oil change after the Vegas trip and the nice people at the dealership washed my car for me. And believe me, half of Nevada was sticking to my car when I drove it in there. But the Potions Mobile now looks as good as she did driving off the lot oh so many moons ago. Yay Honda!
I'm currently debating adding to the body count in the story I'm working on. The character I have in mind totally deserves to get killed, would fit into the killer's overall "theme" and would bring the tally up from only 4 (which isn't that much for a serial killer) to 5, which is much more respectable. The problem is I think it's going to take me off on another huge detour in a story that's moved past "fanfic" and into "novel" territory. And I already have to write in a bunch more scenes that should've come earlier in the story and didn't (I spent some time last night asking myself, "Hey, wouldn't Character X ask Character Y about this?" "I...er...well...fuck!"), and then there's the final confrontation with the killer and the aftermath yet to do.
So basically, as much as I like the idea, I'm thinking the body count might stay where it is. It's disappointing but overall I can't see it adding much to the story. Oh, and
moonlightnrain, I tweaked the soundtrack again, but the song "Steady as She Goes" just had to start the mix once I'd really listened to it. So your extended remix is now outdated again. But this time I'm done. Really. For sure.

So, um... should I not even listen to this version, lest I get attached to it like last time? :)
Also, remind me tonight to ask you more about the care of my Snupin quilt....

I'm afraid there's not much I can tell you there, the transfers are not the way I would've gone had I known how to print directly onto fabric at the time...
