Yay, day 4 of posting!
My writing group went really well, I think? One of my friends from the sga discord came over along with a few of my local friends. We wrote for a bit and we played a game of "Five Why's". My entry:
Five Why's: The Deviled Egg
Why is the deviled egg upside down?
Because it went flying into the air.
Why was it flying in the air?
Because Rodney threw it across the room at Ronon.
Why did Rodney throw it across the room at Ronon?
Because he was upset that Ronon called him out on needing to rest and take a break, before he had a complete meltdown.
Why was Rodney so upset and needing sleep?
Because John was recalled to Earth for court martial.
Why was John arrested?
Because it was all Rodney's fault…he gave too much away.
Anyone else want to try? It can be for any fandom or original.
I had no idea the painter for our garage would be here on the weekend so I was not ready for the house to smell of paint and the heat to have to be turned off for the event. My AO3 bff neighbor offered for us to use her house, but it worked out in the end. I hope to do another group next month. Maybe keep the momentum going. Maybe even try running an online one next term when I'm less busy (anyone interested? It would be more of a "live" writing group via zoom or something. I'm in enough asynchronous writing stuff but not enough synchronous ones)
In other news, I signed myself up for Fandom Trumps Hate again. I had so much fun last year and I'm really proud of the creations I managed. Last year, thanks to very generous fandom friends, I brought in $180 with my 3 works. I do not think anything close to that will happen this time, but I'm happy to take part. It's good motivation and it does something good.
Oh! I impulsively reserved a hotel for me to go to the scifi convention Shore Leave over in Lancaster, PA in July. Lots of amazing writers will be there as well David Hewlett and Rachel Luttrell. I think I will take my middle who was very upset she didn't get to meet DH last time. I'm hoping I'll know some people going. It's so much more fun to go with people. But either way, it should be fun.
