Just a quick post to say I will not be around much online this weekend. I neglected to pack up my Mac's power cord with everything else yesterday, and thus I have 1:30 of power on this battery. I transferred my Harry Potter fic to my son's laptop, so I will be able to work on it there. If I get that finished up, I will transfer my Giles/Willow/Ethan fic over and do the same. I think I need to let some more stuff percolate on that one, though. Apologies to [livejournal.com profile] gillo, who has been giving me some wonderful beta magic on that one so far. But it is a Novel, after all. It'll take us both a while to slog through.

My Wee Hob is off on the Fall Camporee with the Scouts, so I should have some uninterrupted time today. I got a flash on how the Harry Potter story ends now, which is why I'm working on it first-- I really want to FINISH something.

This limit to online access may work out as well or better than the last one-- at least I can't procrastinate that way. Of course, there's always laundry, and the Living Room decorated in pre-teen clutter. But that will probably not be so bad, either.

Sometime that's later, I will have to reflect here on the delicate balance between hard effort on a story, and stepping back to let stuff happen. Like this story ending. I got it in a flash of insight that couldn't be forced (while driving to lunch, actually). But if I hadn't been doing the work, even on stuff that will now have to be abandoned, I wouldn't have been in a place to receive it. (It would have been better still if I could have written down everything I saw then, but alas, I had no pen or paper on me. Also, Driving.)

Happy weekend to everyone.

Hob
