Trying to think of one last note for chapter 12 of Suns and Stars, and some more ideas for the outline of Underdogs.

Ari, didn't you say you have a close friend from Norway?

Shouldn't you be focusing on just Suns and Stars right now?

Yes, I do. She's in the States at the moment.

I know I should, but I started outlining it yesterday when I was messing about on Excel. I'm only going to be doing it when I'm doing chapter notes and I'm on breaks, unless I'm doing something else.

Has anyone heard the news about Amy Winehouse?

Ah, I guess that's fair.

Yep. I answer questions for a texting service, and I've been asked about it at least 5 or 6 times today.

She bought it on herself, but it's still sad.

I wish I could help the people in Norway. Some of them were KIDS. My brother's 14...

I'm not sad about the Amy Winehouse thing. The Norway thing though, heck yes. It's awful

Very, very slowly. I have to dredge out a lot of emotion for the scene I'm on and my characters aren't playing nice.

Also, I don't understand why all of the songs I fit that fit the Underdogs series fit the second or third book...

ETA: Okay, I think I found a song for the first book: "You and Me" by Lifehouse. I first heard it on a Neville/Luna fanvid sometime last week.

Yay, I have enough notes for Suns and Stars! Now to finish the video I'm watching on YouTube - "Good Life" by OneRepublic - and then go to bed. Writing tomorrow.
