Ah! I've become a bit of a Buchan / Hannay fan of late. I watched The Thirty Nine Steps (with Robert Powell), read the book (and the other Hannay books), and watched the Hannay TV series.

I am doing some fic research right now, but hoping to be writing again in the next hour.

I just adored Greenmantle. All of the Hannay novels are great; but you have to filter for colonial obnoxiousness in a big way.

Good luck getting through the research and into the writing!

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm used to doing that filtering...


Am writing now! :D

Coffee time! And also, shuffling through notebook to see if I have some usable ideas scribbled down somewhere... Where are plotbunnies when you need them?

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Indeed it is coffee time. And I am baking a vegan gluten free apple cake, which is almost the same as writing.

The plot bunnies ran away on a steam ship! Quick! After them!

Absolutely! Cake has magical properties!

Cake? There's cake?

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

There is. There would be an enticing picture of cake, but obviously LJ isn't into that sort of thing.

*pouts* Stoopid LJ.

You may have some of mine! I have an entire field full of plot bunnies, never mind a hutch!

Thanks! Do they all have knives? Because that is a cool feature in a plot bunny! :D

[persiflage-1.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! They regularly jab me in the ankles with those knives - or throw them at my head if I don't pay them enough attention!

Still no words that are worth anything. Gonna try again today. I have two articles, three big bangs, an assignment and several challenges that I can work on, and still no words are forthcoming. Nothing. Zip. Nada. *grumbles* I've been letting the muse pick the project, but apparently she has decided that this is a vacation weekend.

*sigh* With all that going on, I so hope I get some words in today!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Well, time to kick the muse and pick something that has to get done! Sometimes writing's a tough task master, huh?

[http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/]

Hee! Apparently my muse is tougher!!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Well, goddesses and all that, pretty tough!

Have you tried invoking the Shower Muse? Remember to put all writing materials at an inconvenient distance from the shower, and soap up well.
