Topic: Rewrites
I'm vastly behind on my rewrites for Frankenstein. No actual new scenes have been written nor have I rewritten any old scenes. I have been modifying the structure and enhancing characters, etc., e.i. outlining. Lots of new material, but no real computer time. The actual writing is the easy part, the stuff before is horribly tedious. But it's necessary to produce something that doesn't look like it was pounded out by an eight-year-old.

Though I've been working on a sunnier attitude, positive, hopeful and whatever, the financial reality of my not having a real job is creeping up on my family. My parents usually give me money for my birthday, never having had the slightest idea what I might actually want. The reality is, though, that I would likely have prefered the Martha Stewart bathroom set I might otherwise have gotten over the money that I'll probably have to spend on bills.

The dedication I've been able to put into writing has been positive. I really believe I'm doing the right thing and it was good that I took the time to focus on the dream. But now that the focus is there, I should find something to pay the bills.

Oh, monday's my birthday.
