You know when you have really good writing days when the words just flow from your brain to your fingers to the page

And I have more ideas than my head can possibly handle, and not enough words. Writing is hard. :\

[msgenevieve]

Yes, that too.

Tonight the writing is making me stabby. Time for bed, methinks. LOL.

[wrldpossibility]

I hope you went to bed instead of beating your head against a wall. Sometimes the best thing is some distance. Glad you're writing again though!

[msgenevieve]

Not yet, but at least I closed the Word doc. LOL.

I'm very glad I'm writing again too!

O man I totally sympathize! I thought about trying mininawrimo (did I spell that right?! ) but - when I sit down at the comptuer ---- I websurf instead of write....

As for wedding reception traditions.... if this is for the couple in your icon, south side Chicago traditions have some regional quirks.... worth finding a good local guide! (Not me, lol! last one I went to was 15 years ago...)

[msgenevieve]

Those writing things scare the bejeezus out of me. You know, with their deadlines. *shudders*

Yes, 'tis a Michael/Sara 'what if' AU fic. *g*

[sk56]

I get enough deadlines with the work writing -- this part of my writing life is supposed to be a recuperation from that!

Nell's right, there are regional aspects of American weddings that are pretty specific, but there are also generational ones. I barely recognize the wedding rituals of my youth in the events I attend today.

[msgenevieve]

Tell me something - why do American weddings feature the bride and groom shoving cake in each other's faces? Whyyyyyyyyy?

I had the same sort of night last night. I was up til almost 2 trying to make word count for NaNo! I ended up with 1370 of 1667 to write today though so I'm mostly pleased if tired today. Sometimes the words are like pulling teeth!

[msgenevieve]

Oh, you almost made it, though - that was a great effort!

Hey, Legend of the Seeker starts in Oz on 29th November, right from the start. I'm going to watch it because I need UST in my television life. :P

[serendipityxxi]

I'm just 120 words from making tonight's word count and being caught up and yet I'm wandering around LJ and not doing that. *headdesk*

You just COMPLETELY made my night with that statement!! LOTS is my new great love and Richard and Kahlan bring the UST HARD CORE!!! I don't want to spoil anything for you so I won't say more but yeah I don't think you'll be sorry :)

[msgenevieve]

Did you know that the boy who plays Richard is Australian? :)

[sticks_for_legs]

Ah, writers funk, grand!

What do you need to know about my fair peoples wedding reception traditions, I may be able to help... I was a brides maid not too long ago. Kill me.

[msgenevieve]

The order of how stuff happens, basically. LOL. *g*

[sticks_for_legs]

You mean, like the bouquet toss, the cake and the garter belt? If you do, I think that really all depends on what the couple wants, or how drunk everyone is.

Gah, the giff next to this reply box is distracting!

Need specifics, m'dearie!

[msgenevieve]

Tell me - why do American bride and grooms sometimes shove wedding cake in each other's faces? LOL.
