Now, this isn't the Extra that I was working on this week (I did say I'm building a tiny pool so that I can still post on weeks when I don't get a chance to write an Extra), and it's short but sweet.

At least I hope it is.  I don't normally do schmoop.

A little while ago, greenleaves-never on Tumblr, whom I didn't immediately associate with the LJ nick baemlalagreen (because I suck like that, I need a flowchart to keep you guys straight between Tumblr and LJ, I swear) contacted me to ask for input on a piece of art.

This piece of art was awesome.  It's battle art.  It's a visual representation of the ( Read more... )

A million apologies for the wait.  First for the long time to recover from writer burnout, then to get my head wrapped around the story again, then for the delay getting it edited and finally reviewed and posted.

You've all been very patient and supportive and you all deserve a big hug, so c'm here and get one.

So, part 10:

Here it is, and I hope it ( Read more... )

Maybe because I totally called it as being Hell Week Number One (of two), and still somehow managed to wrangle at least a partial day off on Friday, I am so far not half as stressed as I expected to be, which means, yes, totally am knocking on wood right now to make sure I didn't jinx myself, though I probably already have; my shoulder's kind of ( Read more... )

From a conversation this morning:

"What happened to Puppy #2's fur?"

I glanced down at Puppy #2, and saw where the fur around his head was all slick and spiky, and said, "He's trying a new hair gel."

Anyway, it's been one of those weeks where I my mood was alternating between wanting to lash out at someone in a painful and destructive manner, and with ( Read more... )

Since I failed on the daily word count -- which I'm sure people don't need to see all the time -- I'm just going to go with a weekly word count this time around.

The last time I posted metrics was on Monday, to the tune of 4,000-some words.  I wrote more or less steadily every day since then, with Friday being my worst day, and I took today off from ( Read more... )

I received several lovely PMs from people offering their support over the fanfic of my fanfic incident, which still baffles me, and I'd like to thank you all again for your kind words, especially to one person in particular, whose PM I can't seem to respond to because LJ is either being pissy, or I am failing in some catastrophic, yet completely ( Read more... )

So I've had a few days where either I didn't want to write because I was too bummed out or too tired, and then the Olympics started and I realized I hadn't blinked in over an hour, never mind not written a single word, so...

My four-day word count (from last Thursday to today) is a pathetic 6,000-some words.

This is embarrassing, but I have completely failed on keeping tabs on my own worldbuilding and am now asking people to do my research for me, because I've tried to track down a small detail, and either I am not seeing it, or it doesn't exist.

( Cut in case it might be considered spoilery )
