Stalled... Monday, February 05, 2007 |
Mood: Frustrated
What I'm Listening To Right Now: Something on TV but I'm not really watching.
I've been stalled people. Stopped in my tracks from editing my book. A few things are responsible here, and they are as follows:
Walgreen's - Took entirely too long to refill my cartridge, which I need to print out all 351 pages. I'm not hating on them though, they have the best stuff.
My Printer - So far I've printed out 52 pages, all or most of which have had to be printed one at a time because of my next issue...
My Paper - Apparently, the paper I've had stored away doesn't agree with my printer. Whenever I get so bold as to think that it might print, say, more than three pages at once, it either doesn't pull the paper straight, or at all, or it pulls more than one piece. Or, and here's the kicker, it pulls the paper, does nothing for a moment, then pulls the paper all the way in and only prints half of the page.
::sigh::
It seems as though the universe may not want me to edit this book just now. Maybe in a few days I'll give it a try again because I'd really, really, really like to start editing. I'm ready to be creative again and I miss my characters. Is that weird? Oh well.
So anyway, I think I'll just edit the 52 pages I have and see how that goes. Meanwhile, I may have to pull an Office Space move and take my printer out to an empty field with a baseball bat. Hmm, that sounds nice...
Meanwhile, July 21st is going to be amazing. I've already let most people know that the day that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out will begin my Darks Days, in which I will be unreachable. I'll spend those days reading, crying, reading some more and then, in all likelihood, crying some more. I'll miss Harry and I'm sure with more deaths coming in the final books, I'll be grieving too.
I know it sounds silly but trust me, it's all true. I owe my future writing career to JK Rowling and Harry Potter, both of whom reminded me of my love for reading and writing that I'd thought I'd lost in all of my term papers in college.
Okay, that's enough mushy stuff for me. I'll keep you updated on Printergate.
