And so on, etc., etc., etc.

mercy_angel_09So I think I've finally finished Sheena. The shoes are painted (I have touch up one little area today, but that's really easy) and I finished the spell cards. The spell cards aren't pretty by any stretch of the imagination, but they'll get the job done and in most photos you won't even be able to tell just how crappy they are. I'll probably get all done up again today, with complete shoes and spell cards, and take a couple of photos to post here and on Facebook.
In other news, things are slow for me. I really need to start fleshing out Travis Deveroux for my NaNo effort this year. I believe he'll be the primary antagonist of the story, so it's important to create him as a fully fleshed out character and not some two dimensional stereotype. I also need to nail down a time line for the story (because apparently I haven't done that yet, heh) so I can figure out exactly where the hell I'm starting from and get most of the facts correct. I've dug out most of my research from last year (what was saved on my computer from last year is saved in my NaNo folder and the books are all within grabbing distance on a shelf) and re-read the story. I just need to really re-establish the characters (most of them will be a year older in the second books) and get going on the planning before November.
Of course, today I worked my butt off in Wii Fit and now all I want to do is crawl back into bed. That isn't an option, however, because I really need to get the patio/balcony cleaned off. The cobwebs are taking over (again) and there's been just enough wind that everything is dusty. Add to that the need to clean off the grill, and what you get is how I'll be spending my afternoon. There are probably worse ways to spend the time, but the fact that I have The Lazy isn't helping things. Perhaps it's time to just creating that "Power Up" playlist in iTunes that I've been thinking about. I can use it to motivate myself to clean and exercise. Now it's just a matter of figuring out which songs would go on that particular list. Hmmmm...
Anyway, I should probably eat something and then get to cleaning. Seriously, why can't I be like one of the Good Faeries from Disney's Sleeping Beauty and just enchant the broom to do the cleaning on its own? /whine
