Still chugging along at the writing. A little stymied on To Have and To Hold - my outline got abandoned about ten chapters ago, and I'm debating how I'm going to wrap up the Snow Queen's part and what happens after. I may write more in the 'verse once I (finally) finish it, but they'd have to be much shorter.

My computer's back to doing a weird thing where all the services for my antivirus don't start/stop themselves during startup and I have to open the antivirus UI and start them. I asked on their support site back when it was first happening and after three, maybe four reinstalls and them looking through some more info I sent them, their solution was basically 'hell if we know. maybe reinstall your OS?' which hell no.

So that's stressful, not knowing what causes it even if I can fix it until the next startup.

I'm debating songs for Princess Mizar. I know if I want to keep it like an actual musical, I can't do so many songs in one section, and there should only be one villain song. But damn do I want to do more than one. Like, three. Also, I've never done a full on songfic, and I think this is going to end up my first. Everyone should do one once, right? Haha.

(Merlin and their family are in a zombie uprising and trapped in a mall with a bunch of werewolves that follow actual wolf behavior. Whoot! Now to decide when Arthur shows up...yay for the first draft being the 'worst version'.)

Got a bunch of Xmas light up - there's a bunch of new ones this year, and they're solar, but the switches are so hard to figure out. No way to tell if they're off or on, and one is so stiff. :-/ But hey, the tree's up, though there's nothing on it and none of the other trees are up.

Finally got the bathroom mirror fixed, at least temporarily. One door kept falling off. Let's hope I got it after all that stretching and bending to get everything taken down and put up!

Back to making presents for me. Maybe this year they'll get done before the eve of. :)

Weelp, knew I'd gone too long without a computer problem. Dad had a bad virus yesterday, so I thought that was gonna be it - but I accidentally updated Firefox. My computer didn't care for it, and I hated how it looked. Shallow, maybe, but...it's important to me. It would have bothered me every time I surfed if it looked that way. So I restore...and it still looks wrong. Go back further, still the same! What should have been a quick fix was getting complex. -_-
In the end, it turned out that somehow, my theme - Firefox 3 for Firefox 4+ - got uninstalled. I have no idea how. But it's back in, and it's all better. But for such a simple fix, it was really aggrivating.

In other news, I'm working hard on my writing. My novel Blessed Chosen is going to be twice as long by the time I'm done, lol. And I have four others to re-write...and Nano is coming up! Hoo boy.

Also, trying to get ready for craft shows. I have...nothing ready. I'm going to be making hats, pop can flowers, and necklaces, plus making a new display - if I can get the hardware. I'm running out of time, in a major way. Not easy - but I'm gonna do my best.

Well, let's give this a try. Yeah, I'm one of those who are jumping ship from Livejournal thanks to their recent customer "services". Unfortunately, since most of the things I like are still there I'll have to keep that account open, but I want to give this a try. Who knows, maybe those communities that keep me on livejournal will move over here and everything will be cool again.

One can always hope.
