Hi all ( Read more... )

I often wish I could talk to some of my favorite published authors and ask them if they have moments such as I have ( Read more... )

Thanks for all the great advice I got on my "writer's block" post the other day; I'm too shy to forward the story to anyone for ideas but I do appreciate the offers. I'm going to take out a big chunk of it and try to rewrite the awkward section. I've done that before and sometimes it works.
I finished reading Sharpe's Tiger yesterday and brought ( Read more... )

I have hit the dreaded "oh-no-how-do-I-write-the-sentiment-behind-the-pithy-quote-from-one-of-the-characters" block. What am I talking about, you ask? I'm writing my challenge 21 story, and one of the characters has just uttered the tag line that is the title of my story. The other character has asked what was meant by that statement, and now I don ( Read more... )

I tried to reply to each birthday greeting I found waiting for me this morning, whether by LJ or by email, and I want to say a resounding huge THANK YOU to you all for taking the time to wish me many happy returns.

Well, the rust might be a permanent part of my makeup, but I can be grateful for small favors ( Read more... )

I requested a starter for challenge 21, and it's a GREAT one! Thank you pippinfanQuestion of the day: have any of you ladies dressed around a certain piece of jewelry, or do you choose your jewelry to go with your outfit? I'm asking because I just bought a new bracelet and I chose the outfit to go with the bracelet. Yes, Pippinswolf did something very girly ( Read more... )

I guess it's true, you can go home again! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome back.
As I said, one of my new fics, "Assurance", has exactly one sentence, which is the shirebunnies starter line. The rest of it is in my head but hopefully it'll make it to the screen soon ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back.
I had a chance to rethink my earlier stance on LOTR and...well, just that, I rethought it and I want to remain part of the fandom, both in writing and in discussion. I thought for sure the journal would be permanently deleted but it wasn't, and I was tickled to death. I'm keeping kimbys_place open too, just because I enjoy confusing people. ( Read more... )
