Should be writing. Instead, going on Tumblr and trying to figure a good way to visually plot.

If the plot bunnies leave me alone that is.

I have so many ideas. My head feels like it's going to explode! At this rate, I don't think I'll ever finish anything.

MY FRIEND IS READING TDL!!!!! YAY!!!!

but... she hates Mae! Nooooooo!!!! Strange evil child!

BUT she says it's 'cause she's bothering Nick, and no one gets away with bothering her favourite character.

Para will understand the hysterical irony in that.

However, she is only on page 50~! So there is hope!

Oh.

Supposed to be using Tumblr for inspiration, not movie gifs. But I do not know where to start.

Tumblr is worse for procrastination than FB.

I second this.

I know it could be useful, but it's figuring out how to make it useful for me.

I just found out that Surrender is coming out in paperback! I already have Covenant so as soon as I get Surrender I'm going to sit down and just read both of them.

You be stealing my Wonderland themes?



That... doesn't really look like a wedding dress... maybe a bridesmaid dress...

I would wear that on a picnic or a date...

It just popped in my head.

I love Alice, the MC from BTP, but not the plot from BTP. So I'm trying to find a plot she would work in/would work for her.

I can't decide which last name I like better for Helena... I forgot she had a last name already (Davis) when I went looking and decided on one (Belmonte).

I think Helena Belmonte has a ring to it. The stress is on the same syllable in both words. HeLENa BelMONte.
