I have wanted a nap since before the write in this afternoon. Thank goodness I not only got a scene idea in the shower this morning, but I went to a local coffee shop this morning when I was reasonably awake and got most of it down Before the write in this afternoon ( Read more... )

Well, I attended my first write in with people writing in the same room with me. It was small, just Wee Hob, me, and two other women. Apparently the Sunday afternoon one is better attended. We chatted a bit, drank wonderful coffee and tea, and I tried to write, with mixed success ( Read more... )

Okay, I have to admit it-- this word count comes Entirely from an edited (and redacted) version of last night's chat with clavally. And it's all notes, no story to speak of. I was trying to work out what the sequel to Lost Boys was about, and how Dumbledore fits into it ( Read more... )

Well, last night I wrote the same scene from two different points of view, and I started trying to sort out Dumbledore for this fic. I also took some time at the end of the night to reread some of DH where Dumbledore explains himself to Harry. Certainly gave me plenty of ammunition for why Snape might feel he has nothing to say to Dumbledore, ( Read more... )

Well, okay, this is better. I wrote some notes on where all my stories were, then wrote up the last clear "this needs to happen scene" I had in my mind for the Lost Boys sequel. So, still scary thinking what I have to come up with tomorrow, but I'm pleased with the progress tonight.

And antennapedia's progress meter says:

The mood indicator (annoyed) is from a work matter. Maybe I could get a better word count if I did that work-based idea after all. Certainly have the inspiration/ fuel for it now ( Read more... )

Well, I got a very interesting scene with Severus and Minerva written tonight, one in which I get to do a little more with the Charity Burbage backstory-- a significant flashback to Snape cleaning out her office and having Minerva burst in on him and figure out that things are not as they appear. It fits into canon because they mutually agree that ( Read more... )

Not as much today, but then, I spent most of the day helping the little old ladies with their afternoon bingo, and singing the night mass and listening to Wee Hob recount his brilliant camping triumphs and rock climbing adventures. He wore pretty much every scrap of clothing he packed, all weekend long, so he smelled like very Ripe boy scout when ( Read more... )

Well, looks like I made up a bit for my sloth yesterday, and I am now ready to call it a night. I put in 3011 words in the morning on my original fic. They are truly sucktastic. Then I started fresh with clavally at 3pm when we did our Virtual Write In and worked on a continuation to "Lost Boys"-- Snape going home with David and the family coming ( Read more... )

Well, my first virtual write-in went quite well. clavally the Pirate Wench was wonderful company, and we helped each other out a bit with encouragement and advice. I'd like to do another one, scheduled or not. If anyone is online and sees that I am, by all means send me a message, telling me to get back to work, if nothing else ( Read more... )
