My rant for the evening.

I know that Pet Project isn't perfect.  I realize that it's been going on for seven years.  I realize that I overestimate my own writing timeline and I'm a horrible judge of when things will happen in specific chapters (I think they will happen in the next chapter but they end up happening four chapters later).

I get that ( Read more... )

Percy shook his head in confusion.  Blinking rapidly, he wrinkled his nose in distaste at the smell of mildew.  Attempting to sit up he found he couldn’t move.  Trying to figure out what was going on he looked around but could see nothing in the darkness that surrounded him.

“Hello?”

I need two good Slytherin character names for our Slytherins that joined Agnes in Harry's defense class.  You can even get story credit for naming them ( Read more... )

I know, I'm seriously late with this next chapter.  The good news though is that I have a costume finished for DragonCon . . . and if any of you are con goers, let me know.  I'd love to meet up and talk 'fic' with other con goers -- all kinds of fic, not just my fic, because that would be just too embarrassing for words.

So I go to FFN to post the next chapter and I keep getting error messages and it won't let me post because I can't get into the author admin section.  Arghhh.

That's all.

I am in the process of moving to NYC.  This means that I'm attempting to consolidate a three bedroom condo down into a 625 sq ft studio apartment.  I'm throwing out, giving away, selling or donating a lot of things.  *sigh*

That said, in the spirit of cleaning house, I relooked at the story outline and some of the scenes that were sitting on my ( Read more... )

Whine On

Why don't my chapters ever seem to follow the chapter outlines?  *sigh*  This is going to be another really long chapter.

Whine Off

I seem to be on a roll.  Okay, granted, it's probably not much of a roll compared to faster writers, but for me, it's practically bullet train speed.  Snippet of the next chapter.  -C
