Today i wrote the last five empty pages in the first notebook of the sequel. I think i wrote the first ten pages about a year or more ago. As always, i enjoy the way the size and shape of the notebooks i write in defines the story itself. Turning points always come right around the yellow divider pages and the close of a notebook is always the close of one moment and the moving on to the next.
I love where it's going and i can't believe how many bits and pieces i created long ago and have been able to hold onto. And i'm learning things about the past too. That's good. it'll help me when i go back. i really think that finishing all of them before going back to the beginning and starting again will help. or i could be kidding myself. This will likely be a huge pile of nonsense in one corner of my hoarded home when i die and the cats eat me...

Merry Christmas
you know what i got myself for christmas? dragon 10 and a usb memory stick. the memory is going to be for my pictures, of which i have a lot. I may later buy a second one to keep my stories on but i just wanted the one for now. i wonder if my compter will run any faster when not bogged down by all those damn pictures. and music. maybe i'll clean out my music too.
I've been working on the sequel at work but i feel like it's slow moving. I still can't find the binder or the final notebook for the spaceship story and i'm starting to wonder about it's existance in reality. maybe i just made it all up. it's in none of the places where things are or used to be. rar.
But one thing i did find as i read the first two notebooks of the spaceship story. it's something i realize time to time when going through old stuff i've written. I am a good writer. i don't always believe it but when i'm reading a story of my own getting engrossed and laughing and being surprised i know that what i'm writing is at least interesting.
can't wait to get my dragon program and get all the other stories spoken into the computer.

The Writing Button
I have decided that my writting button lives in or near my uterus. when it was full of baby it was switched off and i had no urge to write a thing. not even a journal of being all full of baby. that would just been a journal of how crappy i felt and how much i wanted to not be pregnant anymore...
but now i'm all freaking over the place. I started to write the Sequel at work. which is hilarious that it's called the sequel. it's been in my head since i finished the first draft of the monstrocity in 2007! that's right four years ago. there's three stories now between them so sequel is a stupid name for it but i can't call it anythign else or i won't know what the hell i'm talking about.
but the sequel has become the culmination of all the stories. the end, i suppose. all the loose ends are tied up and golly gee, i can't remember what happened in the spaceship story. i knew that i was headed toward writing this in the last couple weeks and that's the reason i wanted to reread the connector... to get reaquainted with some of those loose ends and the overall story i'm trying to tell.
but now i recall that i have some stuff in the spaceship story as well. so i have to find and read that. most of that is typed up (i freaking need to buy Dragon for myself, now that i'm seeing how many things i havent finished typing and how little time i have to do so!!) but i can't find the printout anywhere.
and i know i have a print out. i have to. i'm pretty sure its in a maroon binder because i remember having the disucssion with myself about how i already had a maroon binder that had nothing on the cover, but no, it's alright because the other one is a skinny binder and i'll totally be able to tell the difference just by the size. i remember that conversation!
but i can't find it.
why is it i can never find anything?

What if I can't find...
the part two notebook of the Connector (aka nanowrimo 2009) which i don't have typed all the way yet?
it could be in the box down in the storage unit, but i left the notebooks with stories not yet typed completely out of the box on purpose.
i think my head is going to 'splode.
