Something I have learned

[sixpence_jones]

Getting sozzled and trying to write anything, doesn't really work. I had a fairly good idea and then the sherry (and the single malt)  turned it into tripe.

I'm pretty sure that drunk writing does not excuse bad writing:  silly spelling errors that are gigglesome sure, but awful pacing and trite dialogue is no-one's idea of fun. I am not sure I can

"Oh, no!" for the lack of fic, but "Hurrah!" for the lack of hangover. I fear you may be correct about still being drunk, though! I tend to assume I'm not safe to drive until my head's started hurting!

I still can't believe we live in adjacent valleys!

[sixpence_jones]

I'm on my fourth cup of tea so I should avoid a hangover which is something of a miracle.

And you realise that we have to meet up now don't you? There is simply no excuse. In fact, *if* your husband comes from Abercrave then we are probably related somehow...

[bleddyn_coch]

What, meet up? Like real people? How bizarre! No, we should, actually. Once the school holidays are finished and I've managed to deal with the massive holiday-caused work / housework / fic backlog!

Husband's family are from Morriston and Gorseinon - no Abercrave connections that I know of, I'm afraid! We ended up living here because it was cheap. And pretty.

Last night was a lot of fun!

Annoyingly, my child sized bladder chose to wake me at 6.30 this morning. Decided that I probably was still slightly pished, I've been working on the fic ever since.

Lol, you have my permission to publish the emails if you like!

[of_anoesis]

Actually, having re-read them while sober, maybe they should just be deleted. . . .

[sixpence_jones]

I can't believe you've been up since six after staying awake drinking until 2. Ah, to be young again!

Mine really is too agonisingly bad to be allowed to see the light of day. If you thought my spag was bad when I was sober... There are whole sentences that are just so much frogspawn. ( A jumbled mass of revolting jelly) I just can't send it in :o)

[sixpence_jones]

I have sent it in so Anoesis, my dear I had to delete that one tiny little comment because it held a clue and that's not allowed.

Please forgive me! :o)

It took me a while to get going last night and by the time I actually felt squiffy my typing skills had deteriorated to that of a squirrel on LSD.

I have actually caved and sent it in. Look for the one that can't spell "spell". Oh the irony.

[noxiaa]

You mean you don't want to try for the "Least Coherent" award? For shame, for shame. ;)

At least it sounds like you ladies had a wonderful time!

[sixpence_jones]

Yup, I caved and sent it in.

If there is an award for the worst spag I will win hands down. :o)

[rivertempest]

The worse it is...

... the better we like it.

Trust me. It's the whole point of the challenge - to see how horrible it can be.
