Writerly Ways

[cornerofmadness]

It's been a good week for writing and a a bad week for housework... I wrote over 4500 words of original fic and at least that if not more in fan fic. I survived the rewrites of my short story and had two of them take off so yay.

A bigger yay from all the wonderful input from my original fiction filter. That made me happier than you will ever know. I need to get back to that story but first i need to finish the one story I'm SO close on.

My usual beta and sounding board evil_little_dog had a catastrophic computer issue which had only a minor saving grace of a) her having many of her stories on her flash as a back up and b) us being smart enough to have our shared novels on BOTH our computers plus i have several version on disc so I can at least give her back those (might even have my edits of MT's last chapter still if she needs them)

That said, without word I didn't want to hand over 30 pages of my new story in a series of emails and ...well, I blame the fever I told mom about this lack of beta. She's like send it to me...send Mom a 30 page (estimating here) homosexual BDSM story. You know...I think I babbled something about having a few other friends to try first. I'm NOT embarrassed about anything I write but the raised eyebrow i got when I mentioned the story I just sold was erotica is probably a good hint to just not really go there. Mom can see the R rated and less stuff or at least not start her off on a total kinkfest. Chicken Little, that's me.

Well I better get to ending that scene so i can get on with nearly killing one of the boys. Took a fever reducer and maybe i'll go watch some Ouran High School Host club (though I'm not liking the anime anywhere near as much as the manga)
