So, while backbrowsing some Tumblr accounts I'd neglected for a while I come across this little gem of writers commenting on fanfiction.

… Writers, I love you, but fanfic doesn’t replace your work, and it doesn’t exactly dissuade people from buying your works. They’ll have to know your works first in order to enjoy the fanfic. If they read a ( Read more... )

So, I had a giant rant here, but it turned frustrated and cylindrical and delved into things that had nothing to do with my original point, which is this: Being told that I'm too white/western-European/female to write anything not-white/western-European/female does not inspire me to spend huge amounts of time to research so that I won't offend ( Read more... )

So, a long time ago, before I had talks with a nice psychiatrist and went on happypills I had a brief period in my life where I spend a LOT of time working on a sort of co-written story/RP with a then good friend. We were very enthusiastic about the whole thing, and from one very simple set0up is quickly developed a ton of characters with multiple ( Read more... )

1700+ words before bedtime, and all of them following the plot. Yayness ( Read more... )

"With her mind thus preoccupied"

I'm actually having trouble accepting that I just wrote that. NaNo is being a bitch today, so instead of tackling plotpoints I'm writing little scenes of build-up fluff for Calanthe and Galen.

Stayed up way later than planned and will probably pay the price tomorrow, but I also NaNo-ed, which I didn't really see happening when I got home this evening.
2265 words were added, all in one long scene that is either epic of tedious. It can be read hereInteresting point somewhere in the middle of it was that I was constantly forgetting Arden ( Read more... )

Coughed up 2051 words today, huzzah! Almost nothing really happened in them, but they're up over at either way.

Other than that; my mom bought me a cuddly bat toy and a slab of butter fudge from England. THAT FUDGE IS DELICIOUS! TOO DELICIOUS! D:

Tomorrow it's back into the Uni Schedule From Hell. Think I'll bring The Great Gatsby along to bed ( Read more... )

2447 words today, which is nowhere near enough to catch up to the NaNo schedule, but enough to make me a happy camper. Also remembered that I had neglected to post for the past four days, so there's a nice big post up at torana to make up for that.

Also made a playlist over at youtube, which for now is just a random grab of Globus numbers, but it might ( Read more... )
