This story I'm writing with q_sama is definitely the most fun writing I've ever done. Even when it's work (Boromir!), it's fun. Nothing keeps you on task and motivated like daily discussions about character backstory, future plot-development, and the instant-feedback that comes from collaboration. And we really need to stay on task with this one! We just (very roughly) finished chapter two, and this beast is already over 20K words long. We're not posting anything until we finish, due to the "OMG! If we put in a line the first time Frodo narrates, it could set up for this perfectly" kind of stuff that keeps happening.
In related news, I feel bad about abandoning my Eowyn story. >_> I fully expect I'll get back to it, but at this point, my mood is so far away from it that I'm pretty sure it's not still simmering on the back burner. It's still back there, but the flame is off. Hopefully, it's the sort of story that reheats well.
Well - I have this awful thing called a job to get to, so I should flee. Also, I have to call Li so she can help me drag Sam out of his melancholy.
