edite plus christianos....

Well, my first virtual write-in went quite well. clavally the Pirate Wench was wonderful company, and we helped each other out a bit with encouragement and advice. I'd like to do another one, scheduled or not. If anyone is online and sees that I am, by all means send me a message, telling me to get back to work, if nothing else.

I could have used someone doing that last night. I wrote Zero words on the day. After I dropped off the dear Wee Hob with the scouts for his camping trip this weekend, I went home and got sucked into an old SS/HG fic "Falling Further In." It seems, as near as I can tell, to be the "Transformations Quartet" of the HP fandom-- brilliant and well worth reading, though it will probably never be finished. I am so glad this author put it out there, even as it is-- the voices, the relationships, the plot, the believable progression of the friendship between Snape and Hermione blossoming into something else, the multifaceted presentation of all the characters-- truly a tour de force. I do hope this author is out there somewhere writing, and getting paid for, original fiction. If anybody knows, by all means tell me. The ff.net version seems corrupted (some parts refuse to load) , but here's a good link: http://www.obscurusbooks.org/html/KazVL/FFI/

Well enough blather. I better get back to making up for yesterday night's sloth. Here's my contribution to my f-list's linguistic literacy:

edite plus christianos. MMMMMMMMMM leones non possunt errare.

I'll check in with a word count at the end of my writing day. Hugs to all.

Day 10 word count = 7017

Well, looks like I made up a bit for my sloth yesterday, and I am now ready to call it a night. I put in 3011 words in the morning on my original fic. They are truly sucktastic. Then I started fresh with clavally at 3pm when we did our Virtual Write In and worked on a continuation to "Lost Boys"-- Snape going home with David and the family coming together for Christmas. And it occurs to me that maybe some people might be less than pleased that Snape survived, in any form. Or really pleased that revenge is not totally out of their reach, after all.....

We'll see where it all goes. I'll be busy with the Ladies Society Bingo tomorrow, and hearing all of Wee Hob's camping adventures after the night mass I sing (and that Wee Hob will doubtless sleep through). But hopefully I can get something banged out on one of these for a little while, maybe in the morning.

Hugs to my writer friends. And my reader ones, of course.

I really should not have drunk so much coffee at Panera all afternoon. I am ceasing to be capable of coherent thought, but am absolutely not sleepy....
