Weekly check in post *waves hello*

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone. Time for the weekly check in and as usual I am jumping all around the place something my work colleagues are starting to find a little annoying *g* so I have slightly random post for you.

First, while I am sure everyone knows about this, I just wanted to link to the transcripts page over at The Hatstand. These are always a massive help to me when I am thinking about matching things up with the episodes.

Second I wanted to highlight the LJ comm little_details which helps writers with the research and fact checking. Well worth looking through the old posts here as well as potentially posting as the comm is watched by a large number of LJ users.

Next some Tips to Increase Writing Productivity and Hints and Tips for Distraction Free Writing. This is something I desperately need as I keep letting myself get distracted by the phone, the TV, spring cleaning, staring at the wall, everything *hangs head in shame*.

And lastly a bit of fun, how about a couple title generators to help you think of a title for your story, Title-o-matic and Random Book Title Generator. Clicking a few times gave me the options of: Haze Moccasin, Crystalline Blue, Icewater Series, Snow in the Memory, Hard Consort, and Stray Dog Kiss. *grins*.

Anyway now is your chance to check in and let us know how you are getting on, ask any questions, tell us that the suggested title Haze Moccasin fits your work perfectly, and so on.

oh I love titling as well - much more than writing sometimes :D Although I take my hat off to those who can title other people's stories... *that* I find hard. And I agree that titles can draw me into stories or possibly unfairly put me off. I don't think it's a question of subtlety or originality either - it's just what strikes a chord. Heh because I'll always read something titled "Pain" (shush!) but really looong titles made up of song lyrics ... not so much :D

So... If I said you had a beautiful Bodie would you hold it against me? wouldn't lure you in?

*scraps story and starts again*

Haha I knew even as I posted that someone would come up with a song lyric title that I wouldn't be able to resist :D It actually sounds like a companion piece to Hard Consort...
