Well, I did my typing of fic. I didn't quite make it to the end of the notebook as my eyeballs were ready to protest staring at iddy biddy words in chicken scratch. Boy, I have atrocious handwriting sometimes. *snerk ( Read more... )

Wow, impressive. :D I know exactly what you mean, except I've never been able to type up more than one fic I've written at a time. Or one chapter, if that's the case. :P and don't worry, I promise you my handwriting's worse than yours. ^_^

And, what are you talking about? 2 am is social hour!

Often what happens is I'll write something up in my notebook (or on a notepad if I'm writing during a meeting at work ;) but I won't have access to my computer right away to type it up.

Or, as is the case with some of these, I'll write partway through a fic or a scene, then get interrupted and figure I'll just finish it up later. Except when I lose track of what I was doing and forget to finish. Oops. Those little problems can be mended though.

2am is happy hour? Lol.

"(or on a notepad if I'm writing during a meeting at work ;)"

[Nods] I know what that's like. I spend about half my class time writing. It's actually great inspiration to have the teacher rambling about... how the test next week is worth 120% of our grade or whatever. :P I have priorities.

Sadly, I have a ton I should type up. I just hate doing it.

I look at meetings this way; if I'm writing fic, I'm at least not passing out in said meeting. hee. The usual weekly project meeting isn't so bad. It's the big once a month meetings and the 'training' meetings that get me. Especially since they typically occur at 9 frickin' am!

I don't mind the typing. Except if I've been spending all day typing at work. That kind of puts a damper on wanting to do fic work. Eight hours of typing is enough.

I have atrocious writing all the time. :D

I'm picky about drabbles. If it's not 100/200/300 words, it's not a drabble or a multiple of a drabble. 300 is also my max of what I'll call any type of drabble. Yes, I am a drabble Nazi, what of it?

Mine used to be good. *wonders when it went downhill*

Drabble Nazi! That doesn't surprise me really. :P Every other time I've done 'drabble' (I'm using the term very loosely here) the muse couldn't seem to stop. It was like the Engerizer Bunny. Worst case winded up at about 1600 words. I guess it wasn't supposed to be a drabble after all. ;)
