Turkey Day, Exchange factoids, and some humor
I’m afraid I’ve been a very poor friend the past several weeks. Hubby and I’ve been out of town a lot, and at home our DSL modem fried, leaving us with very limited internet. *Wail* I’ve missed it, and I’ve really missed LJ and everyone on it.
Well, we’re home now, our new ISP works great, and my laptop’s even behaving itself, so I hope to be a little more reliable online and harass my LJ friends some.
For all who celebrate it - Happy Thanksgiving!
(and a silly picture)
Somehow while we were running about, I still managed to finish my
sshg_exchange fic (almost on time).
And I truly owe the fantastic
harmony_bites a huge thanks for doing an amazing last minute beta. She saved my skin.
For some reason this exchange fic constantly gave me fitsies. Although I’m not completely thrilled with my final story, I did get it finished, and I hope I met my prompt requirements well enough. I went through three outline, and even had seven thousand words written on the last one before I settled on my final fic. Since all the time I’d set aside for writing was in early October, and I changed stories in mid-October, most of my writing was done in odd spare moments. Parts of my story were written: in eleven cities, five states, three countries; on land, in the air, and at sea; above forty thousand feet and below sea level; on one desktop, two laptops, three PDAs, several notepads, a scientific conference compendium, and dictated into a mini tape recorder. And somehow it all got pieced together, though it wouldn’t have made much sense at all without Harmony’s help.
And now… for some humor.
