This is a damned good thing, because I haven't gotten a thing done since January. Well, outlining, and just the past day or two some preparatory notes with
( Read more... )
What about "I've hated it since the first time I heard/read/heard of it" instead? Less obviously about him, but still a clue--and a nice character-illustrating bit for both of them.
Changing brain-meds sucks. And I have gone to my own doctor and said 'I am miserable, this seems not to be working' and had him say 'I think you have pretty good coverage.' But he does not have to live it!
You are bolder than me. I have never submitted anything to anywhere. Soon, someday soon.
It probably helped that I turned up at my meds check (a specially scheduled one, as I'm only due quarterly) rumpled and uncombed, as I've been for a bit. My APRN is inclined to believe the worst of me, anyway.
And you know you'll have your friends cheering you on if you do! Did you know that Storm Moon has a Shakespeare anthology call up? If you can do a GLBT twist on one of the plays or something inspired by them -- or, who knows, even a sonnet -- I encourage you to give it a try.
Well, it's the second day on them, and I've been markedly more functional than I have been for a couple of weeks, so that's auspicious.
Glad you like the scene! I love Noel, and I felt like I had to lampshade why he wasn't presently acting like a selfish brat, because I could see readers going "Okay, I get the clues, but BYRON WAS NEVER THAT NICE." Well? He's had two centuries to grow the fuck up! And I suspect that phrase has a lot to do with why he doesn't try to show off his identity, even to people who know his other secret and might be charmed by it. (That, and dear GOD he doesn't want any more groupies like Claire Claremont.)
Two centuries would do it, yes. And I can easily see that having moved past that it's really irritating that he's just as infamous as he was back then, after all this time...
Exactly! I can't imagine anyone would want their embarrassing high school shenanigans and nickname to follow them for decades.
And fame wasn't good for him, and i think he knew it, even as he took advantage of it. I can see him hiding it so that he could deal with someone on the basis of equals (as much as is possible with his, er, condition).

I've managed words, too, so yay for both of us!
