Hour 41! We have fic going live, and barbarian knights stabbing the kickers? Got any brave characters going unto the breach this hour?

I finished the first book in my yuletide canon refresh, and I have a decent plot bunny. I still need to read the other three books to see how it will bear up, and for extra details, but I'm feeling rather excited!

Still sprucing the final details. And I can't believe it has taken me all day to write three or four pages, damn.
Why am I so slow? I was supposed to write other stuff too, uh.

I woke up last hour and read fic_rush. This hour I am eating breakfast and apparently writing about Captain America. :D

Well, I was only finishing of the last hundred or so pages, so it's not quite as impressive as it seems. :D

Iih, Cap! :D
I just painted my nails with the red that I call 'Captain America' (and my friends call 'oh my god, you have to stop renaming your nail polish cos that's just plain weird')

Can't hurry the last details! I hope once it's all set you will feel refreshed and ready to work on the next stuff.

Good luck!! I'm sure you will whip out something glorious for your giftee!

Editminion gave me an inspirational quote, like it knew what my problem is:

"Having imagination, it takes you an hour to write a paragraph that, if you were unimaginative, would take you only a minute. Or you might not write the paragraph at all." ~Franklin P. Adams, Half a Loaf, 1927

Right? I'm not slow. I'm... imaginative and detail oriented. :P

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

Exactly! There's another quote out there, I forget from whom, about writers being people for whom writing is especially difficult.

It's always great to refresh one's excitement and stir up plot bunnies!

found it!

As long as you don't name your nail polish "Bunny" or "Pip-Pip", you're not weird, just imaginative.
