I was going to harass you about procrastination but this is pretty kickass. Good work bbs.

Hey, I was only a writer. The real praise goes elsewhere. But yeah, I think it is too :)

And yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm writing. There was proof earlier. I'm just having a hard time ending it, but the fact that I'm writing the ending is promising.

[nursebadass]

That is promising.

I wish I liked Lost so I could appreciate it more. :-/

[slybrunette]

The problem is that I never wrote these two when he was still on the show so I never honed my skill at writing Burke. Which pretty much means I erase/retool every thing that comes out of his mouth because it doesn't sound like him. But I'm not even sure what he sounds like anymore. Youtube clips are just not saving my ass.

lol, I wish I still liked Lost too ;)

I think your Burke is always perfect. You're so full of it. :P

[slybrunette]

My Burke doesn't talk a lot. But, uh, it's a problem when the supporting cast has more dialogue than him in here. Big problem. So now he's talking.

[nursebadass]

My Burke never talks much either. Cristina does most of the talking. Except he talks sometimes and she talks back.

I'm trying to fic right now too. I have it in my head but I can't find the perfect opening line. How much does that suck?

[slybrunette]

Cristina is just so much easier. I mean, I talk like her in daily life. Or a hybrid of her and Meredith. And Alex. It's messy. Burke? Not so much. Intimidated.

Opening lines are a bitch. So are endings. Nothing worse than getting stuck before you can even begin though.

[nursebadass]

Yeah. I know what I want to write in a way- it's got that In Repair feeling to it. Not like along the lines of the story but just the way I felt when I wrote it. Except with In Repair it totally wrote itself. And this one doesn't want to come out.

Probably because I know I should be getting ready for bed so I can go to the gym in the morning...and work. :P

[slybrunette]

If only all fic would just write itself. *sigh*

Ugh, work. This I am glad I do not have. My biggest job this weekend is decorating.

[nursebadass]

I work for the next four days. Then I leave on the 8th for Eureka Springs, Arkansas for a glorious four day trip of being an adult. My kiddos are staying with their dad (which I feel slightly guilty for) and I think my laptop may come with me. Not because there's wifi in the middle of the woods or in our cabin but because I can write without distraction on the deck that's built around a tree in the middle of the woods where nobody can annoy me or irritate me.

[slybrunette]

That sounds so totally awesome. Not to mention completely refreshing. At least there's a big ol' light at the end of the tunnel.

[nursebadass]

No kidding. I'm so ready for it.
