Which is to say, I spent the last four days doing that thing I do a few times a year where I get sucked into a Harry Potter mega-epic and can't do anything for a few days but read it. (This time it was aspenlight's A Year Like No Other and A Summer Like No Other--I have managed to close the tab without plunging into the third story, which has been a WIP ( Read more... )

I am on what could be Day 13 of a streak of writing at least 750 words every day, thanks to 750words.com - apparently all I needed was a sticker chart and some funny statistics!
