Fic update.
Jul. 19th, 2005 11:29 amThis has been a bit of a weird month writing-wise. Lots of beta-ing, lots of angst about not writing, and plenty of housework to fill in the gaps with. Yay.
Fire And Ice currently stands at 1449 words. With some amazement, I note that I do have two full scenes written, and some random snippets. Right now I'm trying to decide whether a dialogue tag of "he growled" is evil or not. I swear, my personality gets more obsessive with every passing day. I'd possibly be better served by worrying about the opening paragraph. On the plus side, I did get to abuse Jason, so I'm quite happy about that.
I have no idea why I decided to cut this. Oh well. Maybe it's a residual of scouring the house for porn, so as not to offend viewers.
I dusted off Where The Wild Things Are! I haven't written anything much on the final chapter, but at least I now know what happens in it. Having read through the previous chapters, I'm probably going to revise the hell out of them. No more gay Rob, I think. And much less adverbs. *nods*
My fairy-godmother/comedy story--now that I think about it, it's more of a sitcom--is on the back-burner now (sorry Andy & Lia), while I try to battle last-chapteritis and finish the above two stories. And once those are done, I have a James/Lars story that I promised Ev as a reward for putting up with my late-night ramblings. And then... I have a mental garden full of plot-bunnies. There's an elaborately designed rabbit warren forming in the right frontal lobe of my brain.
Oh. In other writing news... I didn't win or receive an honourable mention in the Chizine contest. I didn't honestly expect to, so no tea and sympathy needed. Although, if anyone wants to grab a cloth and start cleaning, that would be great....
Ah well, I need to go and clean the bath now.
