Gah...

[unfeathered]

I had loads of good bits going round in my head for my Two Men in a Pub fic overnight and I'm sure they're still floating around in there but I can't seem to get them out. Grrr.

Anyway, I have no time right now because I have to take Jack round Mum's so we can both have a bath/shower because even the immersion heater has failed now and we not only have no heating but no hot water at all!

Hopefully, he'll then have a really, really long nap because there's so much I want to do - write my fic, read the various fics that have popped up on my flist overnight (yes, Becky, Jen adn Melody, I'm talking to you!) - oh, and I also have to do some inputting of music onto Music Time for my old drama group which I've been promising for weeks and really, really need to get round to doing...

I think Jack's going to be watching a lot of tv today.

On the plus side, I did do the comments for two of the four feedback exchange thingies last night (one long, one short) so I'm halfway through that. Didn't get as far as NDF, though. I was just too knackered. Even more knackered today since I kept waking up every couple of hours during the night.

Ah well.

Off out in a min. Will try to catch up with everyone later.

I always have the best ideas for fic when I'm trying to go to sleep. Not remembering in the morning is horrible *nods*

Hope you'll get the good bits out somehow!

And good luck with all the stuff you have to do :D

Thanks - I'm gonna need it! (Why did I agree to Andy going away for a whole weekend?) *g*

I'm sure you'll manage just fine :D

The trick is to crawl out of bed, scribble as much as you can down somewhere before you nod off. It's always nice when fully formed fic awaits you in the morning and you can't really remember writing it ;)

Yeah, maybe I should do that, but I'm always way too lazy to leave my warm bed :( Maybe I should just put a notepad next to my bed... That might work :D

Oh, I have done that, believe me. I have got up and come down and switched on the computer and typed it up, because longhand is just so blooming slow compared to typing (though I have done longhand on occasion)>

But last night I was so tired it was just sort of odd images and phrases and bits of dialogue, and I couldn't really get it back enough to go over it in my head like I normally do so I'll remember it till I get to type it up.

Anyway, it's going well again now. 1,937 words as of this moment, and I'm taking a break to go through my flist, and Jack'll probably be waking up soon, etc. so I'll probably come back to the fic this evening.

Oh, and I got past the snarking. It didn't last long. They're reasonable men, these two. :-)

I find that longhand is quite good for me when writing half asleep, it's the right speed for a tired me. Also before my PC would boot, I'd be asleep again ^^

I get blamed for everything....

[unfeathered]

I wasn't blaming! Moaning, a little bit, but not blaming. *g*

Anyway, your alien donuts fics are great for making me smile, so I'm really not moaning any more! :-)

I can't write serious or long fics anymore.. the allure of the alien donut is too strong!!!!

DO you actually ahve heat back yet - I'm envisioning you huddles round a candle at the moment working through the mail I sent you...

[unfeathered]

No, and it's bloody freezing. I do have electric light though... *g*

Hopefully the part for the boiler will be here in the next day or two - it was being couriered and it got sent to the wrong depot. Grrr.
