Sorry for the delay in posting the letter, but here it is. I may still do little tweaks and edits during the weekend if I realize something could be worded better etc. but you're safe going on based on what I've got here ( Read more... )

Yuletide authors have been revealed and the New Year's Resolution collection has opened! First off, before I link to my story, I want to enthuse that with the opening of NYR, I got yet another beautiful ficlet for Skuggserien, the book series of my heart I just enthused about in detail while squeeing about my Madness gift. This one is after book 3 ( Read more... )

What with the nasty cold starting to hit me from Boxing Day onwards, I never got around to squeeing here about my Yuletide Madness gift! That must be corrected, because it was wonderful - even though the chances of any of my followers knowing the fandom are probably tiny.

Here it is:

It's Yuletide! The archive is open! And this is what I got as my gift in the exchange ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas / holiday of choice to everyone! I am bravely holding on despite our abysmal weather and the onslaught of depressing Finnish Christmas carols on the radio (seriously, WTF, I just don't get it, what's wrong with our people? why do carols have to be super-depressing?). The Christmas tree is pretty, there are lights, I've already had ( Read more... )

Almost Christmas now. Today, travelled to spend Christmas with family, and there has been baking and such. I've taken a while to actually have time to spend at the computer.

Just a quick post, about to rush out soon! A somewhat busy day, but nearly everything done that I meant to. I ran out of gift wrapping paper, though. Need to try to remember to buy it when I come back this evening.

Today's writingEdit edit edit. But I think I might be pretty much done with the Yuletide edits now! There are a couple of bits I'd ( Read more... )

Today's writingYuletide editing. And editing. And editing. Still not done. There's been quite some progress, thankfully, but there's still one gaping hole that needs to be filled and a couple of things that really need serious improvement, and my mind isn't producing anything. I currently despair over the quality of my own writing, and wish I had ( Read more... )

A good night's sleep this time, and I've been more functional and in a better mood today. Still a bit slow at getting myself active, but going better. Which is fortunate, what with deadlines looming!

Today's writingTook me until evening, but I finally got started on editing my Yuletide story! Even if I got that thing where I spontaneously vacuum- ( Read more... )

Today's writingI finished Yuletide! That is, the first draft. It still needs to be edited like whoah, and I hope I can cut down a good bit of it because it measures almost 7K at the moment and that's too much. But the first draft is done! The beginning of today was crappy, and I didn't even try to write, but in the afternoon I slept and felt much ( Read more... )
