Round 42, Hour 41

And another hour has gone by!  I am about to put some laundry on and settle down to write some OUAT fic that won't leave me alone so I can maybe finish other things.

Any progress being made?

One drabble written! Now I'm off to find some food. Be back later!

Mostly staring and mumbling, but I think I have realized where the final chapter I am working on needs simplifying so the darn story can end.

Drinking coffee and soon be writing -- I just want to watch the episode of Foyle's War, that's all!

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Yay! :)

That's great! I do the same thing when I write. It's why I can't normally do it in public. People think I'm nuts.

[alinaandalion.livejournal.com]

Enjoy your episode. :) It's all research, right?

[a-q.livejournal.com]

Oh sure! :D All telly watching is always research!
And good luck with the OUAT fic -- I've wanted to write OUAT too, but I haven't had the courage to try yet. :)
What kind of fandom is it?

Swan Queen! Post S2 on that boat with magic lessons and a pregnant Snow and all sorts of angst. :)

I've been up but walking on the treadmill. I bought this treadmill desk so I could read on my netbook while walking, since I know I'd always choose reading over walking. It's working out great. I love multi-tasking.

Now for breakfast and then writing. New story needs to be started. If I do it on Round 42 maybe the cosmos will give me a hand.

I liked Aurora (and I love your icon, btw) - is there plenty of Aurora/Mulan fans? (they were so cute together, omg + Aurora/Snow)

Hopefully the fic gods will smile on you. That treadmill desk thing sounds awesome. I always get so bored on treadmills; I would love to be able to read and walk at the same time.

I love the shit out of those two. Let me go find fics!

Oh cool, thank you! :D I was just looking for something to read!

I've only had it a few days but it's really working for me. I did over 600 calories today and the same yesterday, just by reading some fanfic. I was debating getting a Kindle, and I still might, but right now a couple of hundred dollars is something I don't want to spend. This desk was 40 bucks.

It feels more organic for who I really am. I will put off going for a walk to read instead. I can listen to podfic while I'm driving, so it's not the same pull as reading. I can do chores and watch TV or crafts. With my netbook, (which is supplied by my job) I can use the internet while walking. I'm not trying to type, I'm not coordinated for that. I'll probably watch some shows on Hulu or Netflix, too, while I walk, but the main draw is that I can read and walk at the same time. Win/win.

ETA: forgot the link. I got mine on Amazon. Surfshelf treadmill desk (http://www.surfshelf.com/)
