The Whatnot of TJ

Hello!

How are you?

Just when I'd gotten over the high of finally fuckin' finishing something--and even submitting it--I got a even bigger high when I opened my email from the editor of the collection I submitted to. If you remember from last week, I was worried that it wasn't haha funny and that I hoped it would still be acceptable and fit into what they were putting out. This was their response:

"Oh, it most definitely does! This is excellent. I really, really like
it... so much so that I have no notes whatsoever. (This almost
never happens.)

Thanks for making my job easy :-)"

♥♥♥

And I can totally attest to the fact that usually he has many, many notes as that was how my last essay with them went with their Doctor Who book. So that's pretty awesome, yeah?

So, I thought I'd do a little something this week--though, do feel free to drop your WiPs if you'd rather--to celebrate our awesome. Share with us something that someone has said about your work or yourself. A comment left on a fic, a compliment paid to you at work, a confidence boost you received when you needed it most.

I've shared mine, now you share yours. ♥♥

I CAN SEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sort of...

...ish.

I had my surgery yesterday and it was everything everyone said--the easiest thing I'd ever done. Especially after the Zanac and the pain med IV (two thing I'd never had before). I barely felt anything and couldn't believe when they said it was over. In and out in less than 4 hours. I actually can't wait to get the other one done. Unfortunately, I'll have to as I am out of town for most of August and back to work after that, and since one of the only things I can't do for weeks after the surgery is left anything over 30 pounds, I'll have to wait until the Christmas holiday when I don't have a baby to cuddle for that length of time.

Everyone reassured me about the ease of the procedure and how much better their vision was, but no one told me that it wasn't an immediate thing. So, while I can see better now than I have in a very long time, it's still not great. I'm told it will get better and better in the next couple of days, and I can see that it's already getting better today than it was yesterday, I'm just learning to be patient and not stress too much that it didn't work and it was all for nothing.

BUT! It's Wednesday! It's Summer! It's a Holiday Week(end), so, lets have some fun during this WIP Wednesday. Instead of sharing a snippet and us all reading and heaping kudos and GO YOUs at you, post the very last sentence of the very last thing you've been working on and let us have fun with it. Maybe a little Round Robin, or maybe it will inspire a whole new story in a whole other fandom for someone else.

How it will work: One sentence in a new comment. No context, no explanation. If you write for that sentence, whether it be just another sentence or a scene, complete story, leave it in a reply to THAT comment. Each sentence can have as many threads as it garners and you can take any added story and work it anyway YOU want, just make sure to leave your contribution under the comment you took it from and not the original comment. Does that make sense?

I'll keep the game going all weekend, because I'm alone and I have no where to go and a jug of tasty refreshments to keep me company. Of course, if no one participates, I will quietly delete this post and pretend it never happened. ♥

LETS PLAY!

P.S. for Livejournalers, I won't turn off comments over there (mostly because I can't remember how), but I DEFINITELY suggest you check out the Dreamwidth post as it is usually where more people comment and interact for this things. ♥

I'm back, Baby!

I thought it was only one week that I totally and completely forgot to come here on Wednesday. Bu no, it's been two weeks (and almost another this week). Now though, school is out for the summer and aside from surgery in July and visiting family in August I got all the time in the world. So, let's do this!

Drop your Work in Progress in the comments and then come back and read/peruse each others' work. Like always, it really only works if you do both parts.

I'm putting mine behind a cut because if I put it in the comments, I always forget to also do it on the LJ mirror post that I always forget goes up too. (Ooooops)

( Little Somethin' Somethin' )

Sorry I dropped the ball last week. :( But, lets just say, you guys all KILLED it! Thank you so much for being there for each other--especially at this time where I was pretty MIA. I'd say, I'll do better from now on, but here it is almost Thursday and I'm just now turning on my computer for the first time in days.

But, I will try. You guys keep being awesome to each other though, yeah?

♥♥

I'm having a weird week where I finished writing a book, and finished the craft projects I was creating for H2H and now I have even less Works in Progress than I have normally had. It feels strange and almost empty? IDK... I'm sure I'll be swimming in things again soon. Or, I mean, I have ~things~ I always have things, but none of them I'm really interested on pursuing right this minute and none of them with a deadline... or a impending deadline (i.e. the only ones that motivate me). ;)

So, I'm here for all your Works in Progress needs! Give them to me! Let me (by that, I mean us, in this community of creators) cheer you on, commiserate and all that whatnot.

♥

Wednesdays man, they're like the Black Hole of the week.

Remind me that I need to update this journal with RL going ons sometime soon, k?

But for now, WORKS IN PROGRESS!

Give 'em to me! Read and encourage others!

I swear I will have something to share this week! I gotta sift through my files and find something (ANYTHING!) That has promise,

P.S. People reading this on LiveJournal, if I don't comment over there, ping me. I sometimes don't get notified, and it's so quiet over there, that I forget. :(
