1. Go to page 77 (or 7) of your current manuscript.
2. Go to line 7
3. Copy down the next 7 lines - sentences or paragraphs - and post them as they’re written.
4. Encourage other people to do it!I'm actually working on three fics at the same time, so I'm posting bits from all three. One is angsty, another is epic, and the last is totally silly ( Read more... )

I can officially say I finished the first draft of my Monroe/Roddy epic. It's 37,786 words long, but I'm going to need to add a couple of things, so the final word count is probably going to be somewhere in the low 40,000s range. Not bad for a fic that wasn't supposed to be more than 10,000 words long. *face palm* Oh, long fics. I love you too much ( Read more... )

That is the most I've written in a long while.

And my Monroe/Roddy epic is less than 10,000 words away from being done (is it insane that for me that's not a terribly large number?). Awesome.

I spent half of today watching five episodes of Game of Thrones. Before that, I spent two hours writing to the Game of Thrones soundtrack. And now I have Jon/Tyrion porny thoughts. It's all c_quinn's fault. She infected me with the Jon/Tyrion goodness and now I can't get them out of my head ( Read more... )

Due to my having a crappy day, I re-read some good ol' Plaude fic to cheer myself up. And now I kinda want to write a Heroes/Grimm crossover, because wouldn't Claude meeting Monroe be awesome? Then I remembered that Claude, Peter, and Neal and the other Peter (this might get confusing at some point) from White Collar all like in live in New York ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I kept thinking it was Friday. That's probably because I want it to be Friday. I miss my Grimm. And before that, my cousin is going to kidnap me for some mystery activity (apparently, it's crucial I not know what's going on beforehand and the curiosity is driving me crazy), then we're finally going to go watch Shame! It's been two months ( Read more... )

It's 40°F and sunny. In January. It is actually sunny in January without snow being on the ground. All we've seen of snow is a couple of sprinklings and that's it. Tomorrow the high is 46°. I know it's all going to go the way of Dante's Hell eventually, but just having this amount of beautiful warmth up to this point makes this the best IL winter ( Read more... )

I expected to like Clash of the Titans. Ha! After they killed off Mads Mikkelsen's character, there was no point paying attention anymore. Then I expected to love Robin Hood. I enjoyed it. I don't feel it doesn't work. But leading your audience to believe that you're giving them one thing and then giving them something else is not going to make ( Read more... )
