Well all the hlh_shortcuts fics are up.... it's sort of sad that's it's over but for any highlander fans there's a whole treasure trove of highlander stories to read Well done to tryfanstone on running her first fest.

I'm trying to work out who I think wrote which, but I am terrible at guessing it'sstill fun to try and work it out.

No more work all

*hugs* Be safe and having a good holiday.

One of the hard lessons I have learned about writing is that sometimes you have to brutal and ditch what you have written for whatever reason. It's hard to do when you have invested time and energy, if it is not working it needs to go.

Oh yes, I tend to get stubborn about things I've written 'you are going to work the way I originally wrote it.' I've learnt to be a bit more fluid about it, though I always save the paragraphs I ditch if I liked them (maybe they were interesting but just didn't fit in to this fic).... sometimes they get reworked into drabble or ficlets, or even the jumping off point for a whole new story.

Happy holidays. I'm safely down at my Mum's,journey wasn't too bad in the end and I'm once again very glad she caved and installed broadband :0).

Yay for broadband when dealing with relatives.

I usually just delete what I have written and start over.

I've started working through the Highlander fic, lots of great stuff to read, but it's going to take a while. I've really enjoyed what I've read so far though.

Enjoy your Christmas :)

They're great aren't they? There are so many really talented authors. I always think mine must be glaringly awful (orat least glaringly mediocre) in comparison, but everyone's too polite to rip it to shreds and I enjoy myself so I'll keep coming back.

Have a great holiday :0)
