(no subject)
So hooray, we have our heating back. The flat's been absolutely freezing cold all weekend and I actually went into work early to use the shower so I could wash my hair (tried to take a cold shower at home but just couldn't do it). Luckily, the gas man was able to fix it, although my friend asked if I wanted to come over to wash my hair and stay the night in a warm environment. I'm kind of exhausted from a few days of late shifts, but I have tomorrow off - so I stayed up late until 3am to complete the first draft of my Watsons_Woes fic.
Which is due in five days. Eeek. It's utter pants, but I wanted to get the outline in and all the crucial stuff; it's actually ended up being very long, way too long - I think there's too much talking, a lot of blinking and basically a lot of 'telling, not showing' that needs to be cut. But now, I have an outline and I have something to work with and I'm not putting massive amounts of pressure on my shoulders. It's great to work on that Sherlock and John interaction and I'm glad I've finally formed a middle. I also lifted a fair bit of material from other fics that I wrote and never published - they were half-finished, or pointless little things that didn't seem to go anywhere.
Also freaking out slightly about the Check Please updates. Double-eek.
(And guess who hasn't started her Christmas shopping?)
