Scenes I wish I were writing...
instead of the DADA scene from hell...
1. Hermione and Finch-Fletchley at a pre-Christmas Slughorn party, talking about being Muggleborn, their families and the war.
2. Dumbledore smoking (or was it injecting?) cocaine with Sherlock Holmes.
3. Bellatrix and Minerva, circa 1970's, meeting in hotels for silent, frenzied, love-hate sex. -
NOOOOOOOOO!
Okay. I just accidentally deleted the stupid Draco in DADA scene I've been slaving on for months ( Read more... ) -
Ack!
Erk-- my brain is working like windows 2000 -- ie, needing a reboot every half hour. Re: the drabbles-- I may not get to any requests until Jan 1, I have some other writing to do between now and then.
(But thankfully, no exciting NYE's plans, seeing as my social life is, presently, the epitome of lameness). -
Drabble Meme
harmony_bites gave me this fantastic Jayne/River drabble (safety) for Christmas. So I-- despite my drabblephobia-- I'm giving in and posting the drabble meme:
To the first ten people who comment, I will write a 100-word drabble for the holiday season ( Read more... ) -
Darth_Luna Is Ever So Lame
Had another brain-glitch, then some internet stoppage, and well, no writing got done for a while, and then writing began again, but no posting, and well... Stuff happens. And then fanfic doesn't. At least not as fast as I want, anyway ( Read more... ) -
Yesterday4 yumminess & subpar wordage slogging
Run-- don't walk-- to yesterday4's fabu new ficlet, "Ways In Which Hermione Granger Could Have Ended Up With Draco Malfoy". Which manages to be both a funny fandom parody and an adorable, touching little story of Draco and Hermione fumbling their way to being together happily.
As for my own sad efforts at the moment, well I only managed a sad, 211 more ( Read more... ) -
Brain Freeze
Well, yesterday was a wash. I tried, I really did. But I was busy during the day, and come 8 pm, I couldn't keep my eyes open. So I'm atoning by doing two 300 word sessions today. Which is nowhere close to the 1000 I ought to be doing, I know. But I'm all about the turtle winning the race.

Not Exactly Nano Day 3
Yesterday was bad. In that Real Life, Major Depression, Severe, Recurrent, kind of way.
I didn't think wordage was going to happen. But with thirty minutes to midnight I managed to pull out 433 words. Which is, I know, 67 words less than 500. But is also 433 words more than zero ( Read more... ) -
The Power of Shame
My 507 words yesterday took forever. And a week. With one of those three-day weekends, to boot.
So, having never been sorted into Slytherin, I was thinking of scaling back my ambitions to a more modest 350. Or a positively demure 300.
Then I read Harmony_Bites latest postAnd gosh darn it, how could I let her down after that ( Read more... ) -
Not exactly Nano, Day 1
Well-- it took me forever. I would have been glued to the laptop all day if I had aimed for an actual nano word goal. But I did get a whole 507 words.
Anyway, from today's output (whether it turns up in the final product, who knows...)
