Hmm... Interesting Thing Just Happened to me (Creatively).

Dec 20, 2006 14:16

i was writing the backstory for a character in an AU fic and i, all of a sudden, realised that a previous piece of dialogue i'd written no longer suited this character.

So i changed a large amount of a previous section (and after i'd done that i realised that the dialogue of A had obviously belonged to B all along) and all was well.

But

i've never had this happen to me before. i'm not sure if it worries me, or reassures me that i'm growing as a writer.

In Other News

i am most proud of the Young Boy!Cousin. In chat the other month he was informing me of his plans to build a life-sized Dalek, hide inside it and then take over the world *is proud*

But, even better, the other day he'd been taken out to the den of commercialism that is the Trafford Centre by the Grandmother we don't share (who, i discreetly add, is thought of less than highly by my side of the family) - the express purpose being that he was to choose his Christmas presents and then she would buy them.

Yes, it’s a brave (or foolhardy) woman who takes a 6 yo out and gives them free reign, but never mind.

And, of course, everything he asked for had already been bought him by other relatives (who are now frantically trying to swap things - i've generously offered to take the remote-controlled Dalek).

But, there was some minor revenge. After this glut of spending Grandma asks him if he'd like to have lunch in McDonalds? He offers her his most withering look and says that no, when he goes to the Trafford Centre he always eats in La Tascas. (For those who need the context: La Tascas is an excellent Spanish Tapas bar, moderately expensive - even more so when Young Boy!Cousin orders King Prawns.)

THAT'S MA BOY!

(i swear, this is why i'm such a corrupting influence - it's genetic!)
