Feh

So, hard to stay motivated even though I'm fairly certain I'll still have a
job at the end of the year (though it may not be at this site; we'll see).
Fortunately we're dealing with a movie this week, and discussing adaptation
of novels. So it's not too hard.

I had intended to start a new LJ under my real name that I would use for
writing-related posts, because I don't feel like going through ten years of
posts on this LJ and deleting or private-ing posts I wouldn't want readers
to see. Which of course is rather premature, since not only do I NOT have a
publishing deal, I haven't even finished a book yet. But I thought perhaps
doing it would keep me sane and motivated in the writing.

However, there is already a michaeljohnston on LJ. He created
the journal in 2004 and has never once updated it, so who knows what that's
about. And michaelrejohnston has too many characters (there is a hard limit
of 15), and we all know how much I loathe being called "Mike," so that's
out. I'm trying to figure out a new name that would make sense if I ever do
get published, though it probably doesn't matter, as if that happens I'd
move everything to Wordpress on my own domain anyway. Hmm. That's actually
a good point.

Anyway, until I make a decision on that, I'm still putting writing stuff
here, though I'll have to remember to edit it from home so I can put tags on
and fix the formatting issues.

For now, here's the word progress meter I'm using. Yay.

6675 / 100000

Hopefully the email didn't screw that up. We'll see. :)
