Rambling post is rambling
Jun. 24th, 2010 01:55 pm
My internet at home has been annoyingly slow lately. I suspect Sis has discovered BitTorrent. I'm fairly sure no one's hacking into my WiFi; I've been checking and the network is secure.
Combined with the present heatwave, this has kept me off the PC most of the time. My computer is in the bedroom and it's the hottest room in the house. Horrible, even with the fan on and all windows wide open. Rocky's habit of peeing on the garden steps (not his fault - he's very old) is depriving me of my usual hot weather refuge: I used to pile up cusions on the steps and take the laptop there (the power cord just about reaches).
The long and short is I've been writing longhand a lot. Notes for some fics, but mostly it's this new SPN story that has taken over my brain. I both love it and hate it when that happens. I can't post a wordcount. I can't even guess as as my longhand notes tend to be fairly incomprehensible they won't be full sentences or even coherent English until I type them up. But it's a lot. This fic (Sam/Jess, pre-series, haunted house) will easily top 20K. I'm torn between the temptation to hang onto it for next year's Big Bang so I'll at least know I've got a fic to enter and wanting to share it as soon as I can.
( The rest is me rambling about my fic and apparently comparing it to Twilight - ouch! )
