Just got some nice feedback on a couple of BSG drabbles, which prompted me to revive a bit. Wish the two BSG drabble comms I frequent were more active. I'm kind of considering shutting down the one I started, because it's only got about 10 members, and no one (other than me) has posted or commented in a while. I don't mind so much - I just feel ( Read more... )

I gather that there are ship wars in fandom. I believe that may be an understatement of epic proportion ( Read more... )

I think I've decided that writing is much like taking pictures. I take a roll of film, and I'm thrilled if there's one really good shot on the roll. I mean, some stuff I want and like whether or not it's a good shot, so that's fine, too. But every once in a while I look at a picture I've taken, and I know that it's good. Blow-up worthy, frame ( Read more... )

Yes, well, I finally finished the ficathon entry. How do I say? I, apparently, am not a good plotter. The fic doesn't have one. Also? Zero to no description of surroundings or characters. Now, the cheat is that everyone who watches the show knows what the surroundings are. I should keep this in mind for the next story - keep in mind that it' ( Read more... )

OK, that was disorienting. I hit friends view from bsg_current_100 when I thought I was over here, and the first post was a set of icons, so I thought it was posted to one of the bsg communities that I list as friends on this account, and the second post was about... puppies. I mean, let me tell you, one of the damn cutest puppy piles I've ever ( Read more... )

OK, posted in all three drabble comms this week. Yay for me. Also signed up for a BSG ficathon. Ha! I've never done one of those before. Should be interesting ( Read more... )

OK, so I've done two Atlantis drabbles, and one BSG drabble (finally - such a slacker) this week. I'd still like to get an SG-1 in. Doing better - baby steps. Oh, and I signed up for a BSG ficathon - woo! I've never done one before, so I'm kind of excited and a little bit nervous ( Read more... )

Writing gets my adrenaline up. And that is exciting. It's also uncomfortable. I have to get comfortable with the uncomfortable, because the rush is worth it. And long term satisfaction is worth it. Persistence. I have such trouble with persistence ( Read more... )

Ha! So I had big plans to use this journal to jumpstart my writing. Two private entries in as many months is all I've got to show for it. Must start drabbling.

OK. So, challenge to myself: pick one of your communities and do a drabble right the hell now. And then post it.

Off I go...

ETA: Done!!
