Well, this is a series of ready-made reasons to post, at least! Plus, lots of fun even if it is difficult to restrain myself and only do a little each day.
Here's the past 3 days of art squares completed, so up to day 9. I think you can see where it's going now *grin*. It'll be a Romancing McShep entry for me as they're taking those from 14th ( Read more... )

I should be finishing my apocafic, and I will, right after this (honest). Also, this is probably the worst time to be writing about apocalypses - coffee shop AU, anyone?

Anyway, I was thinking about the different types of apocafic I've read.

Well, I finished my mini art blowout for the Captain America Reverse Big Bang (they allowed submission of up to 3 pieces, and I did 3) and I should be writing apocafic furiously, but haven't been getting quite enough sleep lately so I don't think it's a happening thing tonight. I hear about people writing as a therapy for stress but I can't do that ( Read more... )

a belated More Joy Day thing - belated for reasons as in the poem below, that I wrote yesterday.

Drifting Cheerfully in the Black

There's a gale outside,
Wind howling, trees lashing.
The power went off an hour ago.

My cat Possum's outside; he's weird that way.
Likes rain, likes getting the wind up his bottom.
Mum used to say that.

I'm inside, listening ( Read more... )

Someone at work wrote 'thank you kindly' in an email back to me today COMPLETELY UNIRONICALLY.
I love it when that happens. No they weren't Canadian. Heh.

Yuuuletide! I'm really happy with my assignment here. It's a fandom I love and a great opportunity for worldbuilding in a new little corner of the 'verse. So yay for that one. :)

So as usual I fail at regular journaling; no surprises there! The usual combination of stuff - work was hellishly busy for a while (ha, I keep writing busty, which, no), with some big deadlines, thankfully past now so a brief breathing spell in which to finish off my due South_c6d Big Bang project, and start doing two complementary artworks I've ( Read more... )

Sooo, I've been a lot better lately about sticking to regular writing schedules, and it's gone to my head, resulting in a frankly bonkers and grandiose plan. When I first discovered fanfic writing, I launched into a serial fic, posting a chapter weekly. It's the only novel-length thing I've ever written. But I've had this idea for ages, outlined ( Read more... )

Ha - so that went well. I posted once. Or no, with this one, twice.

Day 15: In your own space, talk about what you're taking away from this challenge. Did you learn something? Did you interact with new people? Or did you try out different fandoms or formats or relationships? What's changed between Day 1 and Day 15 of this challenge?I should know ( Read more... )

A very brief update with three better news things, yay ( Read more... )
