my phone has an ego issue. it happened a short while after i mentioned it in my blog. i think that, being a dumb phone, it didn't realize that i wasn't really saying anything good about it, and the whole thing went to its head. now it simply refuses to do its job right, taking hours, or even days, to pass on the messages people leave it for me. it refuses to remember anything i want it to, claiming that its memory is filled with more important things. and it's apparently too dignified to raise its voice too loud to tell me that someone is calling me. it's really starting to get ridiculous, not to mention extremely inconvenient, and i'm thinking i'll have to go buy myself a new one now. stupid technology with its expiration dates. do you think that cans connected with a string ever got lazy on the job? do you think you needed to get new cans every few years? no. though i imagine the string might get some wear and tear.
and because it's november, and i'm sure you're all super interested in my nano-ing, it's time for my nano problems, though i'm not so sure if they're problems or not yet. i was writing this year's story by switching narratives between two characters. one of them was writing in first person, and one was writing in third person. first person has always been easier for me to write, but this character just seemed to work better in third. so i went with it. i recently noticed that i've started writing her in first person, too, though. for the past couple of days i had to go back every few paragraphs and switch all the i's with she's. i finally decided today that that was taking to long and kept interrupting the flow of my writing so i'm switching her to s first person narrator as well. eventually i'll go back and fix the beginning. i'm just not sure if i can write two first person characters and keep their voices separate. we'll just have to wait and see how it goes, though, i guess.

See how the nanoness goes. Don't worry about it just yet :p Just go with it for now and use nanoedmo.
ReplyDeleteI'd get a new one. I have a samsung galaxy apollo :p Has been great for over a year now :)
i was thinking that if i can't keep the two voices separate, i might just change the whole dual narrator to one in the editing. but i'll wait and see how i feel after i finish it.
ReplyDeletei heard the samsung galaxy series is really good, my husband recently got the s2, but they just seem so expensive for something i'll rarely use. i'm not really a phone person.
i got the apollo just as the S came out... so got it really cheap. Just get an older edition - nothing wrong with them
