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.

You know, I never thought of it in terms of lack of familiarity = seeing problems more easily. I think you have a really good point with that.

Hmmmm... And maybe I can convert some of my flist to the Pros side, to boot! :D

I beta'd three or four stories for a friend in Due South. I'd never seen an episode and she had me read because she felt if I could understand the story, then at least she had that part covered! I would assume when something happened that wasn't explained, it was canon so it wasn't a big problem not actually knowing the source material. I'd make a note about it, just in case, but it almost always turned out to have been a canon tidbit not a mistake on her part.
