I haven't been able to write properly for two years, and it hurts.

Sorry about that.
I'll just snuggle in and try to siphon off a wee bit of your industriousness.

“Not dead yet!”
Gud, don't ever apologize for talking about writing-- it's the absolute best.
Seriously-- don't make me start abusing the exclamation point and asscaps.
ION, I'm trying to write in third person again and it's like pulling friggin' teeth. *sigh*

I don't know very much about Twilight, but your tagline is great. It must be from Cedric (I don't know the dude's actual name).
I have avoided it till now, but I think I'm going to need a map. I don't want to take the time to make it, but if I don't my geography is going to get all screwed up.
Now that I'm outlining Chapter 4, I'm getting all excited about it. A lot of key relationships get started in the chapter.

One ugly ass map made. I now know where everyone should be at every point of the story. Somehow all the travel time frames seemed to work out without endless fiddling, so I'm happy.
I've got enough outline to at least finally get started on chapter 4. Chapter 4 is starting now.

Yep. That's a bonafide Robert Pattinson quote. Totally won me over with it. Still haven't seen the Sparkly! Vampire movie, but I'll definitely be watching him in the Salvador Dalí pic he filmed.

Sparkly? Do all the vampires wear glitter or something?

In Stephenie Meyer's world, the vampires don't have real fangs, can go out in daylight, and if the sun hits their skin, they, erm... sparkle. Literally.

Because books.
It's a whole thing, Gud. A whole BIZARRE thing.
Go you with the writing! And the map-making! I've done that even for small-town stories, so I can keep track of where houses are in relation to others. Which is fun, but mostly a way for me to procrastinate. That's just me, though!
