It's not the size of the yacht

I am not doing myself any favours by comparing my word count to this.  It is amazing.  I can only hope for half the response when I post my fic.  I just broke 2000 words.  I get antsy and just want to finish but I can't rush.  If I want this to be some really good shit, I can't rush.  I have to take my time and edit, edit, edit.  I need to do Claire Wright proud.  Spanks to tohshimari for giving me some comments so far.  I hope I will have this first chapter done by tonight!  There's nothing on TV, no shows to watch (although I do have the latest AnS but it can wait), nothing urgent.  I don't even have dishes waiting to be done. 

In addition to pimping Right Back to You, I should also pimp Immortal Arashi.  To be honest, I really was hestitant to start reading it.  The writing isn't great, but she actually has a style that is easy to read (and easy to ignore/forgive any errors).  It might not be to everyone's taste, it's quite out there.  It seems a bit like LoTR mashed together with Buffy sprinkled with JE.  But who knows, that could be a great mix? 

I am so full from sushi and yakitori.  I hit the grocery store after returning videos and couldn't be bothered cooking so I stormed the pre-made food section.  I am going to make curry sometime this week because those potatoes are starting to spud like crazy.  They look a little extra-terrestrial, actually.

RE: POTATOES:

DRAW FACES ON THEM!!

And, you're welcome. ♥

Don't compare your writing to other people's, babe. 'S not good for your level of productivity. Or maybe it is, depending on whether you get motivated by things like that.

It's more like tough love but not really helpful. I is a firm believer in quality over quantity. (Y) I AM WRITING WRITE NAO.

You really shouldn't feel bad! You have a job, a life, you're taking care of yourself - while I'm not a fic reader, I go back and forth from being impressed that people spend time on writing and being astonished that people spend so much time on writing. Of course, I'm not a writer nor would I ever pretend to be one, so I can't fully understand its importance to writers, but I don't think it's something that needs to be forced, as I sometimes get the impression of from some ... on the Internet, let's say.
