Kicking ass and taking names
Dec. 17th, 2019 04:32 pm1. At noon today, I stopped reading and researching and going through my files and compiling this and that AND I STARTED WRITING. In about two hours, I wrote 1500 words. If I can sustain this writing pace, I'll have a solid first draft by the end of the week!! I am doing a lot of quilting (thanks to
umadoshi for that term)--using a paragraph here, a section there that I'd already written for my dissertation, but I'm having to write a fair amount of new material as well. The article has to be 5,000-10,000 words, and the anthology editor specified that the closer to 10,000 the better. If I can write at least 2000 words tomorrow, I will be over the moon.
2. My Yuletide treat is entirely finished (even the title!) except for the last couple sentences, and my treat recipient already has a gift, so if I can finish the last little bit, I can upload the damn thing. Why are endings so hard? But still yay for almost being done.
3. I got Christmas cards from
misbegotten,
spikedluv,
talitha78, and
leesa_perrie!
4. I was so sad to hear of Rene Auberjonois passing. The interplay between Odo and Quark is one of my favorite things about DS9. I love that while their relationship is always antagonistic, they often manage to find moments of connection and genuine feeling between them. Auberjonois will be greatly missed.
