almost human

cornerofmadnessI forgot to mention in the afternoon post that I tried to use the powerade vending machine today but it was BROKEN. Gah. I really needed it. One of my students ran downstairs and got me a vitamin water but it's not the same. I did go buy more broth and gatorade. That's helping me to feel almost human. I'm not out of the woods but I'm almost handling the semisolids.
I am mildly accomplished tonight though. I got up my Lavi![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
springkink story and I fixed up the Hei/Misaki and the Roy/Hughes ones. Go me. Go beta's.

Dancing/singing scenes. I think so many of my characters would love to sing and dance but those don’t translate well into the written word, especially dance. It’s so visual. I’ve taken them to dances but the action/dialogue concentrates on something else.
I would love to write the scene were Placid thinks the diamond he’s been putting on layaway for Melantha has gotten sold but it’s his brother who bought it to save it from someone with the full asking price.
23. How long does it usually take you to complete an entire story—from planning to writing to posting (if you post your work)?
This isn’t answerable really. It takes as long as it takes. Some go fast. Some take forever. I’m the master of not finishing my novels and it has to stop.
