I'm watching Iowa State vs. K-State (all tied up at 7-7 right now*). I'm a bit of an Iowa State fan for no other reason than the fact that it's my personal head-canon for The Lone Gunmen that Jimmy Bond played his college ball at Iowa State (and was part of the 1992 Cyclones team that upset soon-to-be national champs Nebraska). I do love a good ( Read more... )

A couple more pieces for that drabble meme. I'm plugging away at the others, slowly buy surely. :)

I have not forgotten about my prompts for the drabble meme. They are coming. The LJ downtime, a wedding weekend, out of town guests, a birthday party, a going away party and a training schedule that included running +30 miles all in the past week and a half kind of got in the way.

In the meantime, though, there's this:

Seen around on the friends' list, the "Progress, What Progress?" WiP meme.

( I think these are (mostly) the same WiPs I did the last time I did this meme... in 2006. Holy Hannah. )

Wow, it's been quite a while since I even logged in here -- let alone posted anything. I had a chat today with a work friend about the tendency our jobs have to suck up all our creative energy. So tonight I felt the need to open up my writing archives and take stock ( Read more... )

So, my NCAA tourney bracket? Is supremely fucked. (I believed in George Mason. And Baylor.) But, then, who in their right mind would have picked four 12-13 seeds to advance to Round 2? No one, that's who. At least I can put my instilled, lifelong hatred of Notre Dame* to good use tomorrow. Wazzu buried Winthrop 71-40 yesterday and it was glorious ( Read more... )

These days most of my writing energy (and what little time I have to write) goes into my original projects. Tonight though I was picking through my old fic files, and found an unposted piece that I'd totally forgotten about. I'd originally started it for a drabble challenge. It wound being too long for a drabble, but not substantive enough for a ( Read more... )

It's not often anymore that I have an entire afternoon to sit by myself and not do much these days. When I do, I try to tinker away at least one of the ongoing writing projects I have hanging around. Some are originals, some are old fanfic series (some are new fics, but I'm trying not to do those until I finish what's on my plate). So here's a ( Read more... )

Meme: Post the first and last lines of your most recent (unfinished) fic.

So here's the first and last lines from the fic I worked on most recently.

From The Geek Rock Series:

First line: She was waiting in the bar when he arrived.
Last line: They pulled out onto the highway, Byers took a deep breath, and began to head west.
