Rambling
I haven't rambled to you guys in a while, so here goes. I'm hella tired right now. I mean, I'm not even joking. I've fallen so far behind on sleep in the past two weeks, between writing, working, and being all domestic, even sleeping ten hours both last night and the night before have done nothing to improve that. I keep waking up too early and not being able to go back to sleep. Granted, one of those sleep-limbo times has borne a rather fabulous plot bunny, but still...I am far too reliant on sleep for this shit to keep up. I would like to feel refreshed in the morning, and now would be lovely.
Work stuff...I know you've all been here, so bear with me. Have you ever had someone patronise you, like you have no idea what you're doing, just because he or she is older than you? That seems to happen to me a lot at work. I'm sorry, but just because you're five hundred years old and working at Wal-Mart doesn't give you supreme knowledge of the same crap we all have learnt and know already. Please don't treat me like an idiot, because my IQ could probably kick yours in the proverbial balls and make you cry like a little girl. Other than that, work has been good. I still end up with wonky shifts, like getting off at 2200 and coming back in at 0830. That is seriously messed up, and whoever does this isn't very nice. I think the worst was when I went home at 2200 and had to be back in at 0630. I am nearly incapable of going to sleep before 2 in the morning, so yeah...bad day for Jess.
On to greener pastures, MNFF!!!
Harmony is clicking along nicely. I've developed the plot a bit in my head, and, along with some wonderful help from Gina, I've made sure that it all makes sense to the reader and not just to me, which is something that I tend to do at times. I'm really loving the story, and the shorter chapters are very conducive to my style in this particular piece.
I do need to work on Written in the Stars, as it is the story of mine that people actually read. I predict that, by Chapter 12, it will have more reads than VoJP. Sure, it is definitely better written and all that, but there is still something about that very first epic fic of mine that makes me all nostalgic. I was re-reading a part of it the other day, and Merlin, some parts of it are atrocious. It is in sore need of a beta's loving hands--a very good beta. But that's neither here nor there. I still need to get Albus out of his freaking first week of school. >.>
I sooooo can't wait to find time to write this AU in my head. It seems cliché right off the bat, but I think my approach of an old, been-there-done-that storyline is rather unique.
My monthlies in SBBC are in sore need of completion. I managed to finish all of my PA and SPEW, minus my character chat (I've been available, but Alyssa hasn't been as much), but all I've managed to do in SBBC is the recommendation and two of the Witchard prompts. Not very productive, Jess, you lazy whore!
In closing, I would like to welcome Hannah, known as roses_at_sunset on LJ and h_vic on MNFF to the f-list. I know she's already friends with Jennifer, Emma, Nikki, and Mere (the SPEW lot, past and present). So, hey, Hannah, and I officially welcome you to my pedantic madness!
That's it, f-list. I am back to my Harmony and stopping my rambling, which is only a distraction and a time-staller. Night, all!
P.S. - I changed my location on the boards to "Fellowship of the Non-Literary" in honour of Russia's awesome signature tag. Poison Ivy forever!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!1!!11!!1!!!!
