Hey, does three days out of six constitute consistency, when I meant to work daily? Because if it does, I'm making progress!
And most of it is utter crap, but it's fun utter crap. I'll post something later on. I think.
Riley: Maybe I should just let you rest. Buffy: You sure? I bet if you just lay down with me- Riley: Nothing you are about to say will lead to rest.

The Great Write Way
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Um. I think I'm done. I think it worked. I think it's better.
Then again, it's 2 AM and I'm amped on code red and cigarettes. What the hell do I know?
ETA: John, if you want the revised version that has actual scenes instead of "there will be a scene here about stuff", just email me.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Hey Bitterbaby! Read, insent, comments made. I've got to say, I'm going to be in huge trouble. I got so caught up in the script that I didn't notice my evil spawn writing in a library book with green crayon. In other words, wow. That was great.

... bitterchick, if I pout and throw things, or, alternately, look really really cute, is there any chance I might be able to see it?

Deena is a goddess and John is freaking BRILLIANT.
Way cool. Thank you. I wouldn't mind being a brilliant goddess, but, you know, that probably takes time and growth and I'm really supposed to be napping now. I'm grinning. I'm so glad I got to help. Do I get to read it after you've made changes? And/or, will you let us know how you do?

Deena, insent.
And yes. I will let you know if I hear anything. Truth be told, I won't be able to shut up about it.

If I only had a brain...
was there a massive and incorrect assumption that all soldiers are male in there somewhere too?
If they're infantry, that's the way to bet. There are laws on the books that you don't send women into front-line battle. They can fly fighter jets, man guns in the Navy, but not invade on the ground.

Okay, folks. My submission is now winging its way to the Sautter people. Well, no. It's actually in a postal truck driving to Van Nuys.
Thanks to all for the mucho support.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Okay, posting this from my new songwriting sessions before I don't feel this way anymore. Not that it's actually a song. But still.

Expression. Lack of passion. Envision
a future divergent. A past recurrent.
Like exercised freedom. A brand new run.
Dominant vision. Erosion of friction.
There is future. New is possible.
Regret leaves creation for potential revision.
There is eternity. Now is impending.
History leaves opportunity for anticipation.
Liberty. Existence of gravity. Impact
of future enlivened. A glance of parity.
Like embodied victory. An opportunity.
Claustrophobic heresy. A party of alacrity.
There is tomorrow. Next is possible.
Regret leaves open potential recursion.
There is recovery. Soon is forever.
History leaves opportunity for collusion.
Exacting. Fiction redacting. Reacting
to future enacting. A chance of refracting.
Like envious retracting. A brand new thing.
Redundant extracting. Evicting the fracturing.
There is promise. Now is possible.
