After that outrageously complete and enthusiastic He's There planning, I can't believe I still haven't written after two weeks, but I must say with all clarity that
my love for Phantom burns and I am ready! Distractions are just popping up left and right. Just the other day, I was all ready - I had gone through my get-the-juices-flowing ritual, and then my work called me in because some company had a huge-ass order that they didn't even let them know about a day ahead so they could have enough staff and preparation. Assholes kept me from writing! (The company who made the order, not my work.)
Readers are starting to ask about it - it's sweet.
That said, I'm suddenly a big Lily/Erik shipper, or I guess the better way to put it is I'm really tempted to put R-rated scenes in, even if she just talks about them after they happened. It just occurred to me how high his libido must be. XDDD
Anyway, I'm doing an art contest for He's There and the Crystal Palace series and did some art myself because my friend
Deafield and I were talking openly about having naughty Phantom thoughts. XD

She was also the first and only to enter my contest as of yet:

{Click to enlarge.}Ah? What do you think? :D I love how Lily looks, the folds of her dress especially. The only dresses she really has are lightly colored, but this made me consider giving her something dark. It really looks nice on her, especially with the splash of red in her hair!
I also have
this from her, too. :D
Yes, so as you can see, things are going, they're just going in different ways. I'm actually going to take my laptop in for repair this weekend, but all my files (SHIT, I almost typed "philes"!) are on my flash drive, and my old-skool laptop doesn't have internet. I won't be distracted at all if I want to write. WHICH I WILL DO.

If you want to know another true reason that I've been distracted, it's because I'm feeling pressure from myself, for some reason, to have Crystal Palace 3 stuff out of the way. Here and there, I've been working on what I can, and it's paid off. I have one more drawing to color and my site will almost be done, I just have to work out the content of the media page with Kate.
I've decided to edit CP3 and plug in several excerpts myself since Kate, after 8 months, is still not up to doing much. I'm going to try expelling this frustration I feel that she doesn't want to get as much done as me. I'M the heavy-duty writer; I'M the one who wants to build a future on this, after all. And, at the end of the day, the characters belong to me and the idea was born in my head, even if she knocked me up. XD I've gotta do right for them. Can't really bitch around about this anyway, because
just two days ago, we wrote all but one scene of part one of Crystal Palace 4!!!Did you read that?
CRYSTAL PALACE 4 HAS BEEN STARTED!Imagine my satisfaction. It's pretty much what I expected it would be. All my mom could say after she was read it was "poor Cosmo~"
Kate says we'll have to finish part one "before I leave", as in leave for school, which is a month from now, as if we need all that time for her to come back around. *sigh* I foresee another movie which takes two and a half years to finish.
ANYWAY~ I need to get my thoughts out and make a to-do list to keep me on track while I'm internet-isolated. I can come back to it when I visit the ole 'brary. (Library)
