[EDIT] Chapter 8 of Theories is now up on FIA. Show it some love, please :D

Also, I feel like I'm about to die, that's how sick I am. :( [/EDIT]


I think I might be getting sick. :( I feel all achy and whatnot.

At least I got some writing done! :D

Here's what I have so far: ( Snippet from Chapter 9 )

I have about two pages written thus far, and what I just posted is about a page and a half, so there's still more left that I have written. Oh, and no. I'm going to be evil and not translate the German. It will be translated when the chapter is complete and I have it posted on archives. :D

Thoughts please?

I decided to work on Theories on How Danger Finds Us before I drove up to Tallahassee today at 2 pm. :) This section gets a bit serious, but it doesn't stay that way for long and this chapter is far from finished. I have a lot more to go, so don't expect it for a while. Especially because I have three papers and some tests coming up before I'm done for the semester at the end of April. After that, I have the entire summer to relax and work on all of my stories some more (I haven't worked on The Prince or Every Season in ages! Plus! New round of the dgficexchange!).

But, for now, I shall give you all a bit more of chapter 8: ( Some More of Chapter 8 )

Thoughts would be wonderful. :)

[EDIT] Chapter 7 of Theories is up on FIA! Show it some love, please. :) [/EDIT]

I've just been a lean, mean writing machine for Theories these past few days. If only the same could be said for the some odd other fics I have sitting in WIP limbo right now. I really should work on one fic at a time. Pfft. Like that's every going to happen. XD

Anyways, I've written a little over a page for chapter 8 and I'm probably going to write some more before I go to bed. And for some odd reason, there's a crap-load of parenthetical remarks in this chapter thus far. I don't know why, it just worked out that way. I guess Ginny had a lot to say that could only be conveyed in parenthesis.

Here's what I have so far: ( Part of Chapter 8 )

Thoughts por favor. :)

So I was cleaning out the nifty LeSportsac messenger bag that I use for school today and lookie at what I found! (You can click on it to make it bigger.)



Yes, you read that correctly. Scientology, the religion of Tom Cruise, Will Smith, John Travolta, and the Beckhams, has found its way to lil ol USF. I guess I had gotten the paper in passing to a class and stuffed it my bag without really looking at it. Good thing, too, otherwise I might have laughed at the person who gave it to me. I'm sorry, but I don't consider something based off of the works of a science-fiction writer to be a true religion. No offense to those who DO practice it; what may work for one person may not work for everyone else and, granted, Scientology has helped a rather decent amount of people, but still. The mere mention of the religion make my friends and I lolz.

Here's my nifty bag for those curious:



By the way, because I just feel like it, I did something that I remember talking to turkeyish about. I don't remember when, exactly, but I remember her mentioning that she had considered writing a story out of order, depending on what point in the story she felt like writing about at the time, and then putting the thing together like a jigsaw. Well, I had a semi-strange dream a couple of nights ago that, well, inspired me to write it out. Basically, I skipped ahead in the time line for Theories on How Danger Finds Us since I've had the story planned out since the beginning 'cause when I woke up the next morning I couldn't help thinking that the events of the dream would fit so perfectly with Theories. (This will probably be the only time I'll have a Stephenie Meyers moment.) I haven't written the entire chapter out yet, hell, I don't even know what chapter it would be, but I've decided to post some of what I've written, taking out the one little spoiler bit:

( Theories on How Danger Finds Us, Chapter ??? )

So I happened to look to the side of my screen just now and what advertisement do I see that LJ has bestowed upon me? THE OFFICIAL TOM CRUISE WEBSITE. I see what you did there, LJ. Coincidence? I think not, LJ. I think not.

I'm working on chapter seven of Theories on How Danger Finds Us and I'm at this scene with Draco and Ginny (by the way, chapter seven is chock full 'o D/G interactions), and they're not at the stage where they're attracted to each other yet (well, honestly, Draco kinda is, at the very least, interested by Ginny, but unsure of how he really wants to categorize her), but my brain keeps screaming at me to write that they make-out and whatnot and argh!

THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN YET, DRACO AND GINNY! Patience is a virtue for a reason, and there will be plenty of time for snogging. I promise. *headdesk* -_-

I'm also really tired, so my brain could just be doing that simply out of habit. I dunno. We'll see what happens.

[EDIT] Chapter 6 of Theories is up on FIA: Chapter 6. When I get home this afternoon, I'll post it on Portkey. Chapter 6 is now on Portkey: Chapter 6 [/EDIT]

I have sent out chapter 6 to my beta, so when I get it back from her, I'll post it on both Portkey and FIA.

And HAPPY 27TH BIRTHDAY, GINNY! Hopefully, your birthday was amazing, and Draco gave you a fantastic present. ;P

There's nothing to describe how much my head hurts, so I figured "blah" would be my safest bet.

Anyways, I'm back from orientation. It was mad fun (sometimes...). It started off kinda rough since my orientation leader (OTL) was really cool and was trying to get our group into the spirit of being there, but I was pretty much the only one feeling it. I did end up making friends, though, so that's all I can ask for. And I finalized my schedule! I really like the classes I'm taking, so I can't ask for anything better. =D

I took my laptop up with me, so I wrote for Theories more so than Every Season (all of the reviews for it have been wonderful, by the way). I think I wrote about 3 sentences for Every Season. XD Turns out Every Season is a lot harder for me to write than my other fics because there's a certain mood and style that I'm trying to evoke with the story. I just haven't been feeling it lately, but hopefully, I'll get chapter two posted soon enough.

Chapter five of Theories is coming along rather nicely. I have 9 pages typed and I'm still not done with it, so it might be close to 15 pages when all is said and done. I'm trying to get a lot of actions in with each chapter so the fic is not monstrously long in terms of the number of chapters. So far, chapter five has Ginny's first two classes and lunch for that day. I'm not sure what else it's going to have since I'm writing the lunch scene right now. XD
