Trifecta: Independence Day, part 2

I feel like I've lost my muse. Nothing I've written recently has moved me. (I'm in the middle of a dozen stories, but have finished nothing, which is why I haven't posted lately). I feel like the muse has been gone a while, but when I looked back over my summer posts, I enjoyed rereading the familiar stories I wrote the end of July/beginning of ( Read more... )

My first Doctor was #3. My local public station played one episode every week night when I was a kid.

I'm not that hot for this new season. Part of my problem is I saw those two wonderful episodes with Clara (Oswin and Nanny!Clara) and so I know the actress can do, but the writers keep giving her drivel. And then Danny, they could failed his character too. He could have added to the story instead been in it. But, yeah, this doctor is pretty good.

Exactly. I wrote a short story on Tuesday just to have something completed, but when I read it, I realized that it needed major help. Maybe another day (with will be next Tuesday as I have obligations as well as work). I like this first part (the part I'd gone over in my head many times but then... 1) the love interest was used as a prompt to get the POV talking, 2) can't tell - in story - whether love interest is interested in POV or simply desperate for sex, 3) only the vaguest idea of how the people they are living with will take the romance was the story is sort of Ottoman Turk. I need to double the length of the ending at least and add several more days story-wise.

But I just wanted to be done with something, to feel one small accomplishment, instead of feeling bogged down.

Thanks for the link.

I started with the reboot and I really liked Eccleston, I also liked how angry and enthusiast he was at the same time. I agree with you about Clara, it feels like the show was trying to do something with her and Pink and that whole military theme but they failed on all three sides and this Clara wasn't as interesting as Oswin had been (and her reaction to the doctor regenerating in the first episode was the worst reaction the writers could ever give the one character who saw all the incarnations of the doctor, it was ridiculous).

When I want to finish something I usually turn to DIY :P I never sew or crochet as much as when NaNo is on and I get frustrated with my writing.

Your short story sounds very interesting. If you want a different pair of eyes for a fresh look I volunteer ^^

I took your advice and I'm trying to remember how to knit. I was never very good at it before, but I guess I can do a fairly good garter stitch and I'm making flower-shaped washcloths using short rows. My tension isn't perfect and I've been twisting my stitches, but I've made two and a half things and feeling better. (Aside from having to switch my day off)

I've been trying to write more during lunches at work. Let me get the bit I've already rewritten in and I'll see if it's worth sharing. But it does seem to be going smoother this time (and I given several different people reasons why they want to see Emirhan and Harun together).
