Midweek Check-In

Feb 02, 2011 15:40

So, fellow brigits_flame-ers ... how's it going with the prompt this week? I know a few people've gotten their entries done and are in the polishing stages. What's going on with the rest of you?

I've got mine pretty much planned, it's just a matter of actually writing it. If this turns out half as good as I'm imagining it, I'll be very happy. What's even ( Read more... )

Me too! I shall try if I remember.

Seriously, someone needs to text/kick me for these things. lol

BF writing? I'm supposed to have started that already? I don't usually even begin on them until Sunday around noon (dead serious, btw). Does it count that I've thought about them?

Yes. Them.

I'm working on the prologue to the Shed "novel" today so it might bleed into the Shed BF story tonight. I've got the blues on, so why the hell not...right?

Oh, Toxie. You know what I'm gonna do now, don't you? You leave me no choice....

*D-A-N-C-E-S*

You are the sunshine of my life ... Yeaaaah! That's why I'll always be around! Thank you so much, you fabulous girl! *hugs and smooches*

Status: I added the closing words you suggested - changed it to my own style, but the general idea was, as usual, spot on. You're amazing :)

It feels weird to be *done* this early in the proceedings - I'm still undecided whether I should leave the story at its current status, it's basically like that Ramona story - planned out as much longer, but then I just got carried away with the details in one scene. I'm still debating whether I should leave it as it is - with Silvana perusing the book as ending and potential springboard for next week - or add that other scene where she actually enters the parlour in that dress. I'm not sure the implications of my story get all that clear - you helped with a lot of it, so you're into a lot of the backstory, but the BF readers don't really know anything about this world. Can I unleash that piece on them? Does the loathing get clear enough? Perhaps next week's prompts gives me new idea on how to do the actual vampire killing, then again, it might not. And if I add the other scene, the piece might ( ... )

Okay, seeing as the Chat got a little off topic (and then something happened to your internet connection...?) I'll post the menorah comments here ( ... )

I was done and had mine in first. I was listening to an audiobook and due to one line a very weird piece of flash fiction was born, so in it went. It was so totally different from the book the line was in too, I'm not sure how my head wandered there, but that's ok.

It could use some polishing I think. I'm going to read it over a few times and see if I can't straighten out some awkward sentences before too many people read it.

Status is I believe I will begin tonight, then try to finish between bouts of cute girls and studying for my Korean midterm. o.o
