5. Harlem Rain
6. Undiscovered Soul
7. Father Time

3. What song are you listening to right now?

Billy Idol's greatest hits - specifically, his cover of "Don't You Forget About Me"

4. What song were you listening to a year ago?

Randomly, none. Though, then again, I had just finished watching Paycheck - since the entry this time last year was a film review!

5. What are your top ten favorite covers?


1. "Don't You (Forget About Me)"- Billy Idol (Simple Minds)
2. "I Got You Babe"- UB40 + Chrissy Hinds (Sonny + Cher)
3. "What I Am"- Emma Bunton (Eddie Brickell)
4. "Rockin' In The Free World"- Bon Jovi (Neil Young)
5. "Mustang Sally"- The Committments (Sir Mack Rice)
6. "Dreams"- The Corrs (Fleetwood Mac)

And at that point, I give up: I'm generally not a particular fan of cover versions.


On the to-do list front...
1) The NaNo plan is just about done - it will almost certainly get fleshed out as I write, but the plan is currently 13 chapters long.
2) The next two installments of the Francie saga are now planned out and I have some scenes sketched out for part three (which currently has the rediculous working title of The Trouble With Triplets - I SO hope I can come up with a better title!)
3) I have the missing part of Five by Five now about half done, but it needs maaaaaaaajor editing. But still, progress.

Dreams of the Sun is what I intend to work on when I get home.

Hurrah for lots of writing done :)

The Trouble with Triplets sounds quite fun - nicely alliterative ;)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

It is very nicely alliterative - but it reminds me far too much of an episode of Star Trek!

Here's hoping I can manage some more writing now I'm home :)

Ah! Not being a huge Star Trek fan that wouldn't have occurred to me!

The Trouble with Tribbles it is. I have a tribble. Somewhere...

Maybe you could cross it with that particular episode of Star Trek, one of my favourites.

Your plan sounds dreadfully organised, mine is a couple of words for each section, and the sections aren't really chapters...although they may end up being. I am seriously scared as 1/11 gets nearer.

My plan might sound organised, but I know from past experience, what I usually end up writing is anything BUT what I planned! If you page back through my lj to March/April/May time last year, you can see me tearing my hair out because Shadow Games was rapidly spinning out of control. Thinking over the finished product, there is a grand total of *ONE* scene that is in there that was actually in my original plan - and the irony of that one is it was a rewrite; it wasn't in the first draft!

And to be honest, your plan doesn't sound that different from mine - mine might be longer, but at least a third of mine is explaining how old people are and how they're related to each other.

The idea of bringing Tribbles into the CS is amusing - though I think I'd only do that if I could come up with a way of getting Worf into the CS too...just so's I'd got a Klingon to annoy!

[carolynp.livejournal.com]

Worf is the father of a new girl. (well I know Alexander isn't a girl, but maybe there is another child lurking around somewhere) Either that or the new art teacher! Herr L made me think of a Klingon anyway.

*giggles hysterically*

The idea of Worf teaching art... I think Klingon art probably contains too much in the way of blood for Miss A to be altogether happy with the idea!

[carolynp.livejournal.com]

No doubt...although her reaction would be interesting.

Just be glad I didn't suggest him for music!

Triplets overpopulating the quadrotriticale? :D

*snickering* Not if I can help it.
