Don’t worry @Avaloyuru … @BronxWench can likely tell you tales of stories in the archives that basically proclaim “huk’d on fonix werked fer me!” 

Thanks @BronxWench I needed that!  This is a special story to me for that reason and because it reveals “my view” of Thranduil and his world.
But I do agree there are some intimidating writers here!  Once I get comfortable, I will be fine!  I am having a blast writing this story!

I will confess, I was terrified when I posted my first story here. I was SO sure I was going to be the worst writer on the site, and I was absolutely too intimidated to even go near some of the fandoms I adore, because I was sure I’d never measure up to some of the canon scholars in those fandoms.
From the other side of that divide, you’ll be fine.

I think right now @CloverReef my problem is struggling with developing the suspense yet not giving away too many details, LOL   I’ve already written the outline of the story, I’m just filling it all in.
There is also the self-inflicted added pressure of this being my first story for this site, it will set the pace so to speak for the stories that follow.

Definitely same for me at least. Sometimes the movie in my head gets too far ahead that I totally forget or lose interest in the part I’m writing because I’ve already been through it lol. That’s usually a sign that I should re-plan that scene though because I really shouldn’t lose interest in the events so quickly when I want the reader to be interested! 

I think if you’re finding your style changing so quickly that it’s affecting your editing, that’s a good sign. Sure, some changes can be instilling bad habits, but most will likely be learning and finding what works for you. Evolving your writer's intuition. It’s so exciting! Probably frustrating too, but still exciting, lol. 

Yes, @Desiderius Price I’m sure it’s the same for everyone.  But my fingers can’t keep up with the movie that is playing in my mind as I write. 

Yep and changes can be detrimental too.

Still have time, perhaps one based on BP?

It was a true shock. He had surgery for his Achilles’ tendon. This was a healthy man, who never smoked, was active, ate well, and took care of himself. He was on bed rest for two weeks, and on his second day up, he apparently succumbed to a pulmonary embolism. If you had asked me, I’d never have anticipated such a thing.
I think it’s going to take a while before I actually can get my mind around his being gone. Friends like him are exceedingly rare, and even my daft bugger thought he was one of the good ones.

That’s really sad.  Condolences to all.

Sorry to read it. Codolences.

Truly tragic. I hope you're okay.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, his family and friends at this sad time. Remember the good times.
 

I heard from DA, they’ve chosen to “go off the grid” for a time, for family time.

Thanks for the link Disiderius Price.
Bronx, I am looking at it as a purge year. The craziness has done much to clean out drama queens and negative folks that leach off others. So the Temple will be in far better stead with their ilk gone. Plus the temple can be in a better placement in the new bungalow place since we have a huge yard.

Sometimes I wonder what the gods are planning for us when they drop this sort of thing on us.
 and hang in there...

I hope the changes are at least positive?

They’re having a great day blaming all the problems of their world on their MOM!
 

Every day is Monday lately...

Oh, it is  even if it means wasting two days sorting everything into different boxes, and taking to storage  I need to win the lottery so I can buy a place of my own, to store all my stuff  

I always laugh at Rupert Murdoch losing a shitload of money, but then again, I think that’s a mark in my favor.
LJ was where I debuted Morwen Navarre, my erotica-writing alter ego. But LJ getting bought by a Russian company was about the last straw for me, given the nature of what I write. The having to pay for everything was bad enough, but I just ignored that. The occasion when my LJ account was inexplicably changed to a Japanese language account was a bit awkward, since I couldn’t read anything to figure out how to change it back, and the support staff was less than supportive. I miss the old LJ, actually, and if they ever revert to being a useful site, I might consider making an account again. But not while it’s owned by people who kill people for doing what I write about. I have to have some scruples.

I was just about to point out what BW did, as far as LJ being bought by a Russian company. Then again, it wasn’t like my fandom had a devout following on there, anyway LOL 
I heard that Twitter was considering a 250-character limit. I have no idea if this is coming from a troll source but I’ve seen it mentioned a few times. Still, 250 characters isn’t enough for us ramblers but much better than 140 or whatever the limit is now.
