I should use the "I have to make Bodie really unhappy" picture (though I'm not killing off anyone recognizable to do it, LOL).

I mentioned somewhere (though not here) that I'm taking a brief writing course, and I have to have either an outline or the first part of the story by Thursday night. I'm psyched, but I'm not going to have enough time to write the beginning of the story by Thursday night, LOL. So an outline it is! with genders modified to protect the innocent me.

[fiorenza-a.livejournal.com]

Ooo, sounds intriguing :0)

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

A writing class sounds like fun. If you get in a bind you could use the outline presented here *g* And, yes, the innocent definitely need protecting! Enjoy your class.

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Ramona! Bwahahahaha!!! :-)

[cyanne]

Hope the class is going well and that you're enjoying it. And an outline is a wonderful start.

Must Try Harder

[fiorenza-a.livejournal.com]

Have been writing...um...Man from U.N.C.L.E. (cue exasperated Cowley scene).

Have been reading Pros...(cue Cowley 'get a move on' scene).

Will endeavour to have something worth reporting next week - although can almost guarantee I won't have finished. (Cue Bodie smirking at Doyle behind Cowley's back because, for once, some other poor sod is copping it scene).

Re: Must Try Harder

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Writing Uncle fic - definitely gets you the Cowley exasperation scene!

Reading Pro's - good for research purposes *g*

Looking forward to next week's progress report.

LOL. I am also guilty as charged, although not muncle. And I love me an exasperated Cowley *inserts exasperated Cowley scene into plan*

Re: Must Try Harder

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

*exasperated Cowley scene* Yes! Def. need one of those! :-)

Re: Must Try Harder

[cyanne]

Laughing at your update, and it does prove that you've got Pros lurking around in your head, so I have no doubt you'll have something by next week. And yay for writing, even if it is in the next universe over.

Those screen captures are an inspiration to us all

[longstrt.livejournal.com]

Really love that one with Doyle's beautiful bum in that blue sweatsuit. Thanks so much for the "inspiration."

I've got over 15,000+ words done, but now I am entering the toughest section of the story so it will be slow going for a while.

Re: Those screen captures are an inspiration to us all

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

15,000 words already? That's great! You obviously didn't need the inspirational pics to get your story going - but I'm glad you enjoyed them!

Re: Those screen captures are an inspiration to us all

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Wow! 15000 words is EPIC! Good luck with the tough section. *massages your shoulders* You can do this!!!

Re: Those screen captures are an inspiration to us all

[cyanne]

That's amazing that you've gotten so far already, congrats. And you've got time to work through the sections that need the time, you can totally do it.

[ali15son.livejournal.com]

i'm not involved whatsoever in the BB but i like your inspiration *g*

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Of course you're involved! You're reading and commenting here and that spells involvement to me!

[ci5mates.livejournal.com]

These are wonderful, thank you!

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome. I hope they spur you on to many words *g*

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Well I don't even write and I'm inspired! Love these photos, particularly the last one and the one of them kissing (never seen that one before and it's fantastic!).

Good luck with the writing.

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed these. The "kiss" is a manip made by loxleyprince and it is VERY inspirational!

[heliophile-oxon.livejournal.com]

With images as fabulous as these, I bet everyone is inspired! :-))))

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I hope the pics result in lots of words.

[solosundance.livejournal.com]

Oooh... those pictures tell a much better story than I've currently got 1,300 words of! Am in the rather dangerous territory of thinking July is aaaages away, but as I don't usually even get around to badgering everyone for story ideas until at least May I suppose I'm actually way ahead of schedule \o/

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

1,300 hundred words is a good start! And yay for being ahead of schedule! Glad you enjoyed the pics :-)

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I've got my starting orders and the first chapter is written in my head but so far that's where it has stayed because I got distracted by things like politics. Also by a fab book (Eleventh Hour by Elin Gregory) which combines m/m romance with spies in London in 1925 including guns, cars, grenades, sewers and a nailbiting ending.

We're going to do a kind of ping pong with different povs (each taking one) roughly alternating throughout. So yes, we've at least made decisions.

[fiorenza-a.livejournal.com]

I have to say, I'm really quite intrigued by what you're cooking up :0)

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I'm overly busy and in a writing slump but those pictures definitely help.

[merentha13.livejournal.com]

Glad to be able to help!

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Love your Lads' Scenes (especially the Swiss Roll Scene!) They put a big grin on my face this morning! :-)

[cyanne]

I really enjoyed all the pictures, thanks for sharing. Always lovely to see the old favorites and there were a few new ones, including that lovely kiss.

[spaceknight8.livejournal.com]

I adore the pictures. I'm still stuck with another assignment till the end of April - so I'm even late replying to this post ;) But I have ideas dancing around my head. And I enjoy the general positivity in these posts, a real treat :-D

[loxleyprince.livejournal.com]

Crikey! Only just seen this post *dusts off pom poms* Yay!!! for having dancing ideas!!! You just need to encourage them to dance into words on paper (or a laptop, or tablet) and you'll be well on your way with a story!!!
