I shouldn't have watched Michael Collins before a bunch of royal wedding stuff & then gone to bed tipsy. I dreampt there was a bloody battle in front of Westminster Abbey concerning virginity and wedding rings.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Hi Erika. This may be obsolete but is the explanation I was given: all we get during sleep are disconnected images, but we tell ourself stories as we wake up. A longer twilight period between sleeping and waking means more detailed stories.

Come to think of it, no great surprise to anyone who has interacted with me that I spend more time in the twilight zone than your average bear.

Cog continues to grind away. I just hit the theoretical 2/3 point of the rough draft at 50,000 words. I got derailed when a bunch of bad stuff all happened at once, but I've gotten it going once again.

Way to go Gud!

Because books.
Good to hear, Gud!
I, on the other hand, am rethinking half of what I have for the book that was already due, and wondering how quickly I can rewrite.

I'm in a really fun part of the story where the moral is "Don't make deals with pixies."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hee. Should be a tagline.

A friend of Hubby's, who is peripherally my friend because, well, Hubby, and whom I haven't seen in probably 5 years, is on a mail group to which I forward job announcements from our friend/landlord who is a contractor for the feds. I'm supposing I must have mentioned fic writing to him, because he just sent me a 250 kb file of Tangled fanfic that he wrote that he wants me to critique.
I don't even want to open the file. I don't know if he can write at all, I've never seen Tangled, and it reveals all sorts of shallow stereotypical thinking about me, but I don't want to read fic from a 40+-year-old man based on a Disney movie.
Has anyone else received requests for critiquing for projects you wish you didn't know existed?

Always Anti-fascist!
Yes. (and I probably did it someone early on, too.)
