This Week's Check In

[przed.livejournal.com]

It's time for this week's writer check in.

Inspired by merentha13's suggestion of an online slang dictionary, I thought I'd include a few other Brit checking resources:

List of British word not widely used in the U.S. (Pretty much as advertised, a big long list of Brit-specific words)

U.K. vs. U.S. spelling (For when you're debating using "ise" or "ize")

Dictionary of English Slang (This one's my personal fave)

And inspired by my own incipient panic, how about a poll on how we're all doing:
[Poll #1737374]

Bodie and Doyle are very curious to hear how you're all doing...

The scotch will help. Definitely. *nods*

I'm sure they're just thinking about how best to rescue a damsel in distress.

Swap the amnesia for scotch and everything will have a warm glow and all will be well.

I was going to hit Done, baby! I am done! repeatedly just to freak people out encourage people!!

*heavy sigh*

*melting*

*puddle on the floor*

[przed.livejournal.com]

One hopes. *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping it's only temporary. The writer's block, not the scotch. *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

Or if they reproduce what's going on in your icon. Yeah, that would be worth a shot or two of scotch. *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

Someone hit that for real. (That Kris, always overachieving.) Which, yeah, totally freaked me out.

Just wait till you claim art and it's you with the deadline. :-/

[przed.livejournal.com]

No, no, no. There'll be no writer's melting on the floor on my watch. ::looks sternly::

"blub, blub, blub," says the puddle.

I'm feeling much better this week about my story. I've had it preliminarily read and now I'm rewriting so it's progressing. That's such a good feeling. I won't be happy until it's been really gone through at least twice more after I do this first rewrite.

What surprises me when I read a story I've written a couple of weeks after I've got to the end (not finished by any means) is how awful my sentence structure is. It makes me cringe! I wish I could write pretty sentences. *sigh* Maybe when I grow up!

*comes along and puts flower seeds in puddle* How pretty! Both the lads and the flowers. That has absolutely nothing to do with this check in. See how easily distracted we are? LOL!

"Just wait till you claim art and it's you with the deadline." I shall have my nutty in private, well possibly at Drayce if she is happy to beta my stuff again this year, but she will be on a high from finishing hers so normally shes very nice about my freak out!

*sticks toe in puddle and scarpers*

[togsos.livejournal.com]

*shakin' my pompoms at ya*

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately that warm glow always convinces you that everything you write is brilliant... until that warm glow wears off. :D

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I should have enough braincells left for an art beta... and all I would have finished by then is a rough draft... Y'know, if the amnesia wears off and I can remember what a rough draft is.

*puddle attacks you with blobs of goo*

[scherwood]

*munch, munch* (puddle loves flowers)



(we sure are *LOLZ*)

More like Doyle's trying to think how he can kill Bodie without earning Cowley's wrath, and Bodie's thinking about how far he can push it before Doyle pops him in the nose! *g*

[liriel1810.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, if they'd give us ringside seats to that, it'd definitely be worth a couple of shots (and my help us forget the misery of writer's block)

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

Why not give your characters the scotch? See if that helps?!!

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

can I be really annoying and skip around the room scattering rose petals as I go? Cos I have finished. Whether the story is any good of course, is another matter entirely!!

[inlovewithboth.livejournal.com]

What's sentence structure? *Sucks thumb and tries to concentrate* (Now you know why my story is finished so quick!!!!)
