Writing. Stuff.

[sgatazmy]

I managed 1000 words of a new story today. This is huge because I haven't been able to write at all for 3 weeks. Reading Tipper's I Sometimes Wonder series (McShep)  reminded me of how much I really love this series and why I can't seem to walk away from it. Then WonkyElk's story with the skutters (McShep) got me so very excited. Finally the words came.  Phew. I know at some point I should move on and switch fandoms again, but SGA just captures my heart in a way nothing else does.

I started revising my most dreaded (by me) story. Weakness. Written in 2006.  I loved it at the time and then negative feedback later led me to delete it. And then Case reminding me of the story and how much she loved it... It felt like it was finally time to go back, fix it up if possible. I feel like previous me was obsessed with the words "but" and "and". Some of the writing is good. Some is okay.  Some is in serious need of revision. It's a HUGE project. We'll see how it goes?


How are you all doing?

Glad you've been able to write again. I'll be interested to read the new version of Weakness!

You are so lovely to me! And I can't wait to read the revised version. I know I have a few revisions to do myself, to get the rest of mine onto AO3. One is my Genii kid fic, which I started to revise heavily a couple of years ago before stopping. It really is so much work looking at some of these old ones!! I feel your pain! But I can't wait to see your revised version!

It's been my pleasure, really. When you told me you were making more I Sometimes Wonder stories, I knew I had to podfic them!

Oh, I don't remember your Genii kid fic. Interesting. I look forward to seeing it.

I started back with my online original fiction/fanfiction writing group and I'm going to have them help me with Weakness. Chapter 1 and 2 were fine. Chapter 3 I was like ????????? What is that description supposed to even mean? So hopefully they can help me up the writing level and make the story work. (Right now I'm editing one of their query letters. This is why I don't try to publish. Query letters! Stress!)

At least it means I've grown as an author! I really can see how different my writing is now compared to 20 years ago and it's kinda cool to see the growth. With many things you can't do that. But with writing, it's right there. You can see where you were because you can go back and read it.

I'm still so excited for your season 6....
