So I'm nervous. Feel like a kid the night before the first day of school. Sigh. I got the job (yay!), had my last few weeks of freedom (boo!) and now I start tomorrow. Man, oh man. The phrase 'You can dooo iiiit!' with a Mexican accent keeps floating through my brain. I think it's from a movie somewhere. Ergh. I wish I had the Rocky theme song ( Read more... )

There's a life and death drama unfolding itself right outside my door. I was hearing it happen for several minutes before it sunk into my brain just what I was hearing ( Read more... )

Have been enjoying my vacation . . . I've spent much of it at the library. ;) I was surprised to see just how crowded it is during the week days.

I just didn't know where to start, and couldn't organize all the thoughts and ideas in my head. I think actually, the story just needed brewing time. Now, I have a fully fledged outline and I'm excited to be starting it, really ( Read more... )

So, I finished a little ficlet earlier today for an entry in the Q&B Holidays contest. It felt soooo good to be writing again! One thing I realized, though, is that I seriously need a Beta reader. How many times can you reread the same piece of work, looking for typos and misspellings? Not to mention - I could really use someone's input into how ( Read more... )

I just uploaded my HP Fanfiction to FF.net yesterday . . . and I already have two reviews! Wheeeeeeeeee! I'm so excited! I could definitely get addicted to this . . . TOO LATE!
