"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

For the Escape challenge:

The pain isn’t the worst she has ever felt. There has been far worse; it’s just a sharp twinge down her right leg that intensifies by the end of the day or if she moves the wrong way. What makes it different is that it is constant. The medicine her doctor gave her won’t ease, nor even lessen, this pain. Even sleep only brings brief moments of relief, in which it does not disappear, but her conscious mind is no longer aware of it. Sleep however is not a cure, and it is too frequently interrupted. There is no escape.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

The drabbles continue to amaze.

ION, I just completed my first thousand words on my WIP after almost a year of ignoring it last night, and wow, it's pretty rough. I need to get my writing brain back in gear again. But at least I'm writing again. Here's hoping I can stick with it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

After 13 years of knocking this idea around in various forms, I finally have a structure, outline, and plan of attack for what I guess I can now refer to as my WIP.

Feels good.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

_t! Go get 'em!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I finished my paper! I have been told it is a good, strong paper and not bad for my first paper in..ever,

WHOOT!

Now I have to work on the other one that's due a week from Sunday.

Way to go, Aimee. Those papers will be routine for you soon, it's good you're getting off to a strong start.

Thanks for the cheerleading, deb, it got me through a page beyond what I had planned to write today!

Because books.

Many yays! For Kalshane, and Aimee, and -t!

-t, what is the WIP about? Is this the children's book, or something else?

This is a scifi novel about the development of teleportation technology. Light and funny in 28 10 page chapters, with an important plot development every 4 chapters. At least that's what I'm aiming for.

I can't quite figure out what to do with the children's book - I think it is probably too long, but I don't know how to cut it, and sending it cold to agents seems like such a long shot I've pretty much given up. Which is a shame, because I like it and would like to give it a chance, but I'd rather spend my time writing.

Aimee's paper is very good. She edited the hell out of it, too. It's improved 100-fold since I first read it. GO EMPRESS!

-t, go you too! Woot!

-t, that sounds like it's going to be fun! Good luck. And, if you need a beta, I'll be glad to look at it for you. I'm not the fastest turn around, but I will get back to you.
