Rec and random

Nick finally posted his final writerinadrawer fic and it's so goooooood.  Read it, you should.  (That was done in my Yoda voice. No, really.)

Title: Something Beautiful
Characters: Gwen Cooper, Jack Harkness
Rating: PG
Length: 4,500 words
Summary: After Torchwood, after Jack, Gwen lives her life, even as Jack comes back.

Big encouragement to all of you who signed up for NaNoWriMo. I'm not sure how you do it.  I don't have a novel in me, pals. My creative mind is like a junk drawer. Open it up and you'll find pens and rubber bands and batteries and an iPod cord and some purple envelopes. These do not make one big cohesive thing when you put them together. 

Did sign up for yuletide , though.    

So many people on my f-list are bummed, hiding from H1N1, stuck with flat beer, being bothered on bus benches or have puppies with fevers.  I want to make great big cheer bubbles with one of those giant wands, blow them all over with a fan and clap with glee as they pop on each of you with a big soapy *gwink!* 

Since that's just bizarre, here's something even weirder: If I were going to start a striptease career, I'd do it to this Lou Reed Song. In fact, I'd only strip to Lou Reed songs.

Speaking of songs...I though of you today, when a certain Queen song came on the radio in the car.

Off to check out your fic rec!

I enjoyed his latest story and another one which I missed reading for some reason.

I don't have time to do Nano since I have to finish an assignment for a creative writing course I'm doing. I don't think I was going to do it anyway to be honest.

Personally I want to know what you'd do for Venus In Furs. But I love Venus In Furs. I'm sure in some world, Jack was partly responsible for that song. Just. Because.

Oh... NaNoWriMo sounds awesome.
If I had a less busy life, and had known about that beforehand, I might've tried.
I am trying to write a novel since I was 12 (that was my first try then... lol, I lost interest after 100 pages). The last serious try got to a little more than 300 pages, but I hadn't even told half of what I had intendet to tell and then lost interest.
That's why, even in ffs, I mostly try to write one-shots; I can't focus on a story arc long enough without being distracted by another idea.
And in my newer attempts... I mostly stopped after creating the concept. This would've been some kind of encouragement to try and get through with it. But yeah, maybe next year... or the next... or the next...

I'm not really bummed, I've just decided being a hermit is better than dealing with real life. ;)

But I heartily approve of giant bubbles of messy, soapy glee. :)
