I belong to several "Last Author Standing" communities and in order to vote on the fic, you have to read it all. Now, unlike when I go off looking for fic to read for fun, I don't read the warnings or headings on these fic because, one, I'm going to have to read them all no matter what they say and, two, I don't want to go in with any expectations ( Read more... )

I totally fail at writing Haiku. At least I totally fail at writing Haiku tonight. I've been in a writing slump, which is odd because I've gotten a few warm, fuzzy feedback things lately. Real life is frighteningly real right now, though, so that may be the problem. However, because I can do so, I am going to ignore real life in my LJ. At least ( Read more... )

*eyes shift* I'm back from vacation. Had a great time. Yay, family. Lots to talk about, really. Pretty sure I won't do that soon. I know. I fail at getting back into the swing of things, I acknowledge that. I'm not sure that will ever change. I apologize to all those who'd like to know more about my life ( Read more... )

I've been writing fic with word limits lately (drabbles, double-drabbles and the like). I get the base of the story in and then I do a word count. I get really excited when it's under -- "Woo-hoo, I've got four words!" You can do a lot with four words, baby. Even more exciting is 12 words - that's a whole concept, a theme, a mood ( Read more... )

There are some fic headings that just confuse me. Things like "Gen, slash if you squint". Huh? What does that mean? If I squint at the screen, suddenly the words "I'd do you in the backyard if I could" would appear? Maybe if I look at it cross-eyed the line "He loved him so much his heart would burst now if only he could have sex with him on ( Read more... )

I'm completely caught up on Supernatural (both happy and sad about that). My other current obsession is Criminal Minds. A show that I didn't like when it first came out, but that I adore right now ( Read more... )

Come one, come all! Short writing/style poll. Only five questions. I know you all have opinions... I want to know what they are.

A comment from donnickcottage on my last writing post got me to thinking...

Writing for the love of writing is the way to do it. People talk about how writing "flows" and how wonderful it is, how they "love" writing.

I don't know if I can say that I love writing. I know I can say that I don't not love writing ( Read more... )
