grr, I can't make this plot point work
I cannot, for the life of me, find a Certain Type of Event I need to have happening on December 31, 1976, anywhere in the internet's annals of history. Evidently Elvis played his last New Year's Eve concert in Philadelphia that night? Wow. Not helpful for my purposes, internet. -
The Apprentice, Chapter 16 update
Oh my stars and garters, I'm writing it right now, really, and I'm not going to stop until I have the draft completely done. -
The Apprentice (disappointing) update
So, I've got, like, 1000 words of chapter 16 down. What have I been doing instead of writing?

The Apprentice, Chapter 14 update
Revising the story outline took more time than I'd expected (which was silly, as it took me months to get the thing onto paper...or, rather, into a computer...in the first place). So a) Chapter 14 will post by Thursday, not today, and b) I want to, but will not, remain in happy Severus-loves-Lily-and-the-war's-not-full-on-yet land for very long. ( Read more... ) -
A conversation that I shall not be having with my mother
"Hey, Mom. Could you do me a favor? Yeah. Could you go into the closet of my childhood bedroom? Okay, you know how there's a whole bunch of stuff on the shelf in there? Okay, so, I think, under all the Care Bears and behind the box of ballet costumes, is a little wooden box. In it is a dried carnation and a bunch of folded-up looseleaf. Could you ( Read more... )
