writing, writing, writing
Feb. 4th, 2009 06:45 pmI need to bring the laptop to work more often. A lunch hour of sixty-eight minutes yielded an additional 700-ish words for Da Was Gonna Be Da Exchange Fic. One of the students wanted to watch the news, so I just plugged in the headphones and turned the volume up REALLY LOUD to drown out the Irish Ambassador (even though he had a lovely accent). I'd had the scene outlined for some time, but I hadn't any ideas about specifics until this evening. I really like the way it turned out. It'll need more detail, of course, and that can happen during the editing. Right now I'm just trying to get a first draft of everything and trying to avoid doing any revising.
I gave Severus a girlfriend. Not a rival, though. She's a blatant Mary Sue (an idealized me, of course), but she's only around to provide some illustration of Severus' character, and she won't be seen after chapter one or mentioned after chapter three. (Is that okay or still nauseating? She is shagging Severus, after all.) Found some road maps in the break room --
(my library has a library!) -- and was able to see how far one could travel (not talking about Apparating) in one day.
Back to work now, though. Even if I was inclined to cheat and write on the laptop on company time, I couldn't since I didn't bring the power cord. Take that, Naughty Voice in My Head! (What's hideous is that I probably would keep writing if I did have a power cord or a battery that lasted longer. What kind of Hufflepuff am I?! Shame on me.)
After work: Da Digest. And foodshopping, since I have no milk, cat food, or toilet paper at home.
