My brain just exploded

[layla]

I've spent the whole day working on my novel, but not actually writing much of anything new ... I'm just taking the scenes in the first half (which weren't working) and rearranging them. And then having to rewrite because suddenly people are talking about things they shouldn't know yet, and the pacing STILL doesn't work.

*bangs head on keyboard*

This show sounds fun; too bad it's only in Canada. Would you believe I actually wrote up a proposal for something similar to this when I was in high school? Stop laughing! In the early '90s I really wanted to create and produce TV shows. I had several different shows that I created cast lists and series bibles and everything for. This was one of them, only it was more of a soap opera, about a Muslim family that moved into a conservative American town. Some of the characters sound eerily similar.

Only in Canada? (hmm, wonder why...)

Keep banging on that keyboard. Not necessarily with your head, mind you. Never know where an over-active imagination will lead you.
Or maybe you do know, what with the "over-active" part of that ...Hmm, look. I'm strung out on NyQuil so let me just say...keep it up.

Yuck, sounds like you've got the crud I had the last couple of weeks. What's with these germs going around this winter?

And yes, my imagination is definitely over-active.

"Little Mosque on the Prairie" is a cute show. Some of the jokes are kind of obvious, but the characters are growing on me. Yes, I watch it even though I don't love it. I love the idea of it.

I watch it even though I don't love it. I love the idea of it.

I suspect that'd be more the case with me, because I really don't go for sitcoms much, but I think it's cool that it *exists*.
