I worked on the next chapter of 'A Comedy of Letters' last night into the wee hours of the morning. I've been looking forward to writing this chapter for a while, and so it's not surprising that it seems somewhat stale in parts. However, I think I finally hit a good note on it--this chapter is probably not going to be as long as I would like it to be. But I really don't want to prolong it and lose the snap either.

OK, fanfic, you know I love you--I just don't know how much of you I'm going to be doing in the future. What with computers going all 'splodey and school and work and life...and about five hundred other projects...it looks like you will have to be relegated to what I can squeeze in.

But I will, I promise, at least finish Shall We Dance and A Comedy of Letters.

In that spirit, I have an itty-bitty snippet of the work on "Letters" I managed to squeeze in at work today.

See! I'm trying! Dead 'puter and all.

Life continues very much as it ever was. I wake up around 6, do the necessary, go to work, get home around 6 and then tramp all around tending to various and sundry things.

I am renewing my resolution to write for at least fifteen minutes a day. Explative, but I hate schedules. Always have. But it seems like that's the only way I can get things done, because otherwise life gets taken up with so much STUFF. At least if I put all the stuff in a time-line it feels like I'm accomplishing something.

I did a little writing today, mostly purposeless stuff. I finally wrote the Wolverine/Rogue oneshot I'd been thinking of for ages. No one have a coniption, it's strictly platonic.

( What He Wasn't )

And you can blame

quoth_the_ravyn for this little bit of Wolverine introspection. Granted, this takes place probably pretty early on...maybe the first year or so...

In other news, visit with the cousin was fantastic, this weekend Me Dear Bro is coming up for his birthday (must...buy...present).

And Happy Birthday

Well my world map for OWP is coming along very well. I have a very serviceable continent with a few mountain ranges and large rivers--I'm toying with the idea of adding a desert, or at least a very arid plain. I want it to be as realistic as possible. So now I'm working on climates and the various levels of fertility in soil and other things. All in all, it's shaping up very nicely even though I keep thinking of new things that I need to change/add/know, I'm glad that I'm thinking of them now as opposed to at the end of the manuscript.

That's the good news. The bad news is that I'm being encouraged (Not that I'm pointing fingers *cough* comeon_eileen *coughcough*) to write out my movieverse fic. I've even come up with two half good titles: A Touch of Rogue or A Rogue's Touch. (Personally, I like A Touch of Rogue better because of the play on rogue/rouge.) And I came up with a perfect intro this morning. Here's the little bit that I've managed to get done at work:

I am sorry to say due to various and sundry life related distractions, the next chapter of "Letters" has been delayed, probably until this weekend. I am working on it when I can.

Here is a snippet:
( And Battles Make It All Die Out )

I'm working on it, really, I promise!

Oh, and in case anyone was wondering, the lyrics I've taken the past few chapter names from are from this Dead Poetic song: ( A Hoax to Live For )
