Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

Gathering Momentum?

Am I gathering momentum?  Or just headed for a crash? 584 words on Irvine.  Still don’t know why I’m even writing the damn thing. Bly asked me that tonight.  Why in hell am I starting a new story in a new fandom? I dunno.  Squall told me to. *ducks*

Just What I Need

Today I started another fanfic.  In another fandom.  Why?  I don’t know.  Because six unfinished fanfics and a couple undone novels isn’t enough? Yeah, that must be it.

When Plot Bunnies Attack

Today was a bad day at work.  Lots of politics, not a lot of the ‘teamwork’ our leader is so fond of encouraging.  (with words, anyway.  Actions…) Anyhoo.  On the way home my voices came to my rescue, pouncing with the most hysterical little fanfic plot bunny with big gnashy teeth. 951 words, and my

Bly thinks I should watch more TV.  Apparently there are some great new shows on tonight.  I figure I get little enough done as it is. I’ve got a new second cousin.  I haven’t seen

Only One

Tonight at group there were astronomers kindly sharing their expertise and their equipment. Kids everywhere, and Hope was the only one who managed to trip over the cord of the laptop computer linked to the really expensive telescope and nearly destroy both.  Because Hope was the only one who skipped around and around the table
