Well, the parents are gone. They arrived Wednesday and left this morning. Poor Mom. It seems likes almost every time they come to visit, I'm in the middle of something fandom-related that requires my immediate attention. Two times it was the exchange, and this time it was the awards. At least it was only two afternoons, right? *wibbles* ( Read more... )

So yesterday was a complete wash as far as writing goes. Shuglet #2 had some medical tests that he had to be sleep-deprived for (i.e. only four hours of sleep--from midnight to 4am), which means that mom was sleep-deprived, too ( Read more... )

I want Heart and Soul to be done. Done, done, done. I have a love/hate relationship with that fic. I love the storyline, I love plan for it. But gah. Sometimes writing it is not so much fun. I know I referred to a few chapters in this fic as "The Chapter from Hell," but this one, this one is REALLY The Chapter from Hell ( Read more... )

Can someone tell me what JKR uses for "Welcome Witch" in the UK version of OotP? According to mrs_muggle's potter_words, it's "welcomewitch," but that looks strange to me. Just want to be sure!

Thanks!

Um, I think the next chapter of Heart and Soul is done. Kinda. Sorta. Maybe.

This new schedule is kicking my butt, and I think I have less free time now than I did when the kids were home. I'm having to squeeze into 3 1/2 hours what I fit into 6 hours last year. That sucks ... a lot. I'm ( Read more... )

*blows dust from icon* I'll have to upload it later today. :D ( Read more... )

It is now 2:15 am, and I am a little over halfway finished with chapter six of Heart and Soul. Can you believe it? I'm not sure if I will be able to finish it and have it beta'd and Brit picked by Tuesday evening when I leave for Portus, but I'm giving it my best shot. I may end up just posting it f-locked here until I get back .... *ponders* ( Read more... )

After much whining, swearing (I never swear), and even a few tears, I finally managed to complete chapter five of Heart and Soul at two o'clock this morning. I'm not sure how happy I am with it -- it may need more Luna-ishness -- but it's with the betas and the Brit picker now ( Read more... )
