Wilde_Guess reacted to Desiderius Price in Switching between two different projects can get frustrating.
Usually, I just have to focus on one project, or the other. So, now, I’m focusing on Jefferey again, which, cross my fingers, should be until a particular point when I can start working on the main protagonist’s story. There is a threat in there, a plot bunny that’s agitating.

More like the middle I guess, on the east coast, about 2 hours north of Sydney.

February is just typically summery here. And it’s been an extremely dry summer, so we’re desperate for rain.

We had a yard puddle that took a quarter of the yard. If it had frozen, we could open a skating rink among the trees.
I keep getting surprised by which dog wants out in the cold and which would rather come in from the cold RIGHT NOW!

Agreed. “Lincoln” Ch. 19 is giving me just a little bit of trouble, since I haven’t paid attention to it lately. “Bond” is mostly being “brought over” from St. Elsewhere. It needs some editing and revising.

I’m switching between editing and a new project. I think I prefer two projects if i have to switch. Editing needs focus.

I may take advantage of the warmer weather Thursday to change the wiper fluid nozzle on the driver’s side. I have a couple of replacements, but it’s always finding the motivation to actually remove the old one and pop in the new.

I should probably put the new wipers onto the truck so I can (legally) drive it – old one busted, so it’s got no wipers at the moment. Mostly rain in the forecast with a slight chance of snow on Saturday.

We escaped with two inches of rain on Sunday, which washed away the remnants of the last batch of wet and icy stuff coating everything. And I do mean everything. My corgi splooted in the middle of sniffing an interesting scent because she was standing on a frozen puddle, and the daft one’s soda froze when he ducked out on the terrace for a few minutes.

Myself, I think the little stump-rat should have gone into hiding. Last week, the ground was bare. This week, we’ve got 14 inches of the white crap on the ground.

Hibernation sounds like a wonderful idea.

I think the groundhog went drinking with Bill, based on the weather predictions for the next week or so.

February will do that to you in the Northern Hemisphere, especially if you live somewhere where it gets cold in the winter.
I didn’t pay attention to “Groundhog Day” this year. If the out-sized rodent wakes up and sees his shadow, we have six more weeks of winter. If he doesn’t see his shadow, we only have winter for another month and a half. If he sees Bill Murray, it’s going to be a long day.

Wilde_Guess reacted to BronxWench in would like to work on a story together with someone with similiar likes harry potter
Hi, this is probably not the best way to find a collaborator. I don’t write for Harry Potter, don’t write much het at all, and when I do write D/s, I do so with someone I know understands the lifestyle thoroughly, because nothing is worse than bad D/s in my opinion. This is my take as a writer.
As the lead archive moderator, I’d just like to mention that spamming the status update wall is probably not the best way to find a collaborator. We have a subforum for that, which is where this belongs. I’m sure the forum staff will agree.

Wilde_Guess reacted to Desiderius Price in Hmmm… I can move this scene from #8 back to #7….. Keeping it in #8 makes for a better
That was the #5 debacle, about 2.5k but same thing. I try to adhere to the principle that a reader shouldn’t have to re-read an episode to understand things, though, of course, that can be unavoidable at times with a work-in-progress. Thus, I basically want to be confident in the episode/chapter before I post.
Cross my fingers, I’ll get #8 drafted tonight. (If so, I’d expect #7 to go up next weekend.)

Wilde_Guess got a reaction from Desiderius Price in Hmmm… I can move this scene from #8 back to #7….. Keeping it in #8 makes for a better
True, that. Also, the move can “require” another 4k of writing to more fully develop an idea. That’s not a bad thing, but can confuse the reader if you do it after the chapter(s) were originally posted.

Wilde_Guess reacted to Desiderius Price in Hmmm… I can move this scene from #8 back to #7….. Keeping it in #8 makes for a better
@Wilde_Guess Yep, that’s why I’m debating now, before I post. I’ll need to resolve this before I post either 7 or 8. Yesterday, I had moved it to #7, however, based on tone it belongs in #8. So, this morning, I moved it back. After all, a cliffhanger is typically an incomplete scene.

It’s much easier to move a 2k chunk of writing between chapters before you post. “Voice of experience...”

lol You’re welcome!

I never thought about it being available to see in Youtube, but I would imagine there would be some rugby league available on there, at least to give an idea of what it’s like.

I think I’m smitten! I’m going to have to read up on rules, and then watch more, but this looks far more interesting than I’d imagined. Thank you!

@BronxWench Likely easier to poke it out of youtube.
I’m not a sports fan, so I tend not to even realize it’s an event weekend until the FB postings begin. Guess it’s kinda related to how I grew up, sports weren’t a big thing in my family. Now, the Indy500 would be played, and I occasionally paid attention for the wrecks.
Now, in one of my more recent stories, I made one of the main characters a die hard soccer fan (in the USA). I remember having to a match or two just so I knew enough to bluff my way through the chapter. (And I focused more on my characters, less on the game, as a result.)

Well rugby league is at least as rough and violent as gridiron, except they don’t wear any protection.
