Pros BB check in post

[saintvic.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone and welcome to this week’s check in post for the Pros BB.

As always this is your chance to chat about how you are getting on with your writing, drawing, vidding and anything and everything else. Or if you have any questions that the comm can help with them just let us know in the comments and I just know someone will be able to help.

And for anyone who would like to be hugely distracted for the rest of the day I have a couple of links for you.

The first is this random story generator........here have a sample of my story :D

Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, Doyle was interrupted by eight clueless elephants that were lured by his sandwich. Doyle shuddered; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling displeased, he randomly reached for his ninja star and skillfully slapped every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the lemur-infested moor, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the Ford Capri rolling up. It was Bodie.

And the second is the always deadly and time consuming TV Tropes. I’ll see you all in a few hours.

I might (might!) be halfway now! Of a first draft, at least.

I realise this sounds rather belated, but I started terrifically late, so from my point of view it's good news. I have a bad feeling that there will be a *lot* of revising and editing, but I'm not thinking about that, I'm just enjoying being able to get into it again. Whee!

I started putting updates in my LJ, too.

I have a heap of stupid little things I need to check on - is it feasible to put a sleazy pub or bar in a particular location, which side does Doyle have his holster on, the best route out of London towards (somewhere!), and so on, but I am ignoring them for now (unless - guys? - Doyle and holster?)

It's weird actually writing this year instead of lurking around the sidelines playing at being a beta, or even just a reader saying 'yes, yes, keep on with it!'. I miss watching other people's stories take shape, and until mine is more than halfway there, I am chary of sending it anywhere - past history tells me that if I send the start of a story to people and say 'what do you think?', it doesn't matter what they think, I never get back to it and finish it. So I have to get further in.

On which note - free afternoon, and dentist appointment all done with. So back to the scribbling board!

Oh. And I am not going anywhere near TV Tropes! I showed it to a friend the other day and we ended up with about twenty tabs open in the browser and the realisation that we had to stop before the browser exploded!

TV Tropes really is utterly addictive isn't it.

It sounds like you are doing brlliantly with your story and we are all cheering you on with it *\o/*.
