Round 67, Hour 40

[evelyn-b.livejournal.com]

Good morning! Good afternoon! Good every time of the day, even those awkward in-between times! I failed to make a writing-themed icon and I didn't bring cookies because I got up too late, setting out on the wrong foot on a carpet made of excuses. Sometimes life is like that. Sometimes writing especially is like that.

But not Hour 40! Hour 40 is the Hour of Accomplishment!

I can't scatter baked goods among you this hour, because the virtual oven is still heating up (it takes longer when you don't belive in your powers of imagination) but I can promise a rhyming couplet in honor of anyone who writes this hour! Or edits, because that's important too. Or makes a sketch or an outline or just thinks about some characters in a more-or-less concentrated way; I'm not picky! Tell me your deeds!

Hello!

I developed a headcold and my brain is too fuzzy for my own wordsright now. Going to huddle under a blanket with someone else's words for a while and see if I feel better.

Sometimes reading is the best thing to do
Everyone's words are your words, too.

Hope you feel better in the future!

I have a whopping further 65 words.

And now I must go to the supermarket because that's the exciting jet setting life I lead.

You can say a lot in 65 words -- or climb on them until you get to the place where you can say a lot. Either way, good work!

Sixty-five bees can fight back a bear
Sixty-five words will get you there!

(for some values of "there," at least)

Nice icon inspired rhyming. :D

I was supposed to edit my wip today, but instead I have 300 words of new fic started, in a fandom I've never written in before... Oops! :D

A new fic! A new fandom! What an exciting accident! Congratulations and enjoy!

I have neglected
the work
that was
in progress

and which
you were probably
hoping
to read

forgive me
newness is delicious
so vivid
and so deep

Thank you! Such elegant verse, I'm honored! :)

Can I borrow some of that carpet, mine's starting to ware a tad thin in the middle :P

I'm contemplating writing. And drowning in feels for my OTP but hey, it's all fuel for the fire, right?

[evelyn-b.livejournal.com]

Cast your carpet of excuses on the fire! Better take mine, too.

Sometimes contemplating writing is the best thing you can do for your writing! And it can be hard to keep that little fire going when you're rafting on an ocean of feels.

Ocean of feels! Quench not the flame
That forges fic within my brain!
When feel-waves roil, the fingers wait
Upon the keys as I contemplate
How fragile is the bark that reels
Hither and yon on this sea of feels.
