Not a productive day...
But I didn't really plan on getting anything done. I still managed to edit about four pages from a novella, and I hung out on a forum most of the day, talking shotguns with some guys who really know their gun-fu. I wanted to make sure that I wasn't making the story unrealistic by arming Wendy with a Mossberg shotgun in the next book.
But in explaining how she intends to use it, I found that the Mossberg 500 Bantam may be the best bet after all. Anything low bore is going to break her arm. The Bantam is a gun made for so she's going with a 20 gauge model, with a sling strap and a Knoxx SpecOps Folder stock handgrip. Hehe, oh yeah, the next rounds of stories are going to have a few hints of gun porn. ^_^ As I said on the forum, i might write at the amateur level, but that's no reason not to do basic research.
Of course, I still have for the brain drain to wear off to do any writing to enter this information into the second draft revisions of A Perfectly Empty Vessel. And before I can get to that, I still have to finish writing Changeling. And if this post seems to make me seem not so scatter-brained, I should mention that it took my four hours to write this. 0.o
The thing is, normally I get REALLY bitchy and cranky when I get brain drain. But this time, I'm just mildly cranky. Okay, I can't write, right now. But it's just fatigue, and not a lack of idea that's keeping me away from the blank page. Well...except for here...and the forums...and my other blog.
Okay, I think I'm heading to bed. I'm just babbling now. ^_^
