Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

It must be Tuesday.

So there's a remix challenge going at a Mentalist fansite. I signed up, and drew the name of an author I like and respect. I then reread a dozen or more of her fics to figure out which to do. Started writing at my usual fast clip of about 200 words per day. Got well into the meat of the story.

Then I accidentally deleted it.

And in the process of trying to retrieve it from my backup file, accidentally deleted that too.

Thankfully it takes me a lot less time to remember 400 words than it takes me to compose them in the first place.

And most of the stuff I can't remember was bits I can remember being dissatisfied with.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Seems a very harsh revision technique.

It certainly involved more swearing and panic than I ordinarily employ during revision. Swearing and panic are generally reserved for first drafts.

Grr Argh. Waiting is the hardest part. There is a week at least before the final deadline for the remix challenge, most everyone who signed up for it have begun posting. But no one has posted a remix of any of my stories. The writer I wanted most has already posted something else. The two I feared might draw my name have also posted. And only one of theirs was completely unreadable.

That leaves one writer whose work is excellent but who does not ship my ship (if she drew my name she at least has a few stories which are not particularly shippy to choose from), and one whose work is ok - well, variable, really, but averages out to ok - and who does ship my way.
