blather: writing without a net

[arrow00]

You ever have one of those writing moments when you reach the point in the story and all of a sudden you're on a high-wire and the ground is like a gazillion feet below you and your stomach is all heavy because you just know you're gonna slip and fall and splash your intestines all over the sawdust?

And the crowd will go: "Ewwwww."


There oughta be a mood icon for that.

Arrow, I'm sure your intestines will stay right where they belong. They are sturdy things. And even if they did splatter, I'm sure they'd be awesome.

Wait... what?

Well, anyway.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

You're so kind. I think. :)

[zabira.livejournal.com]

given your track record with writing, i think you should have plenty of faith that you WON'T slip and fall and make the crowd go "ew." OTOH, i do know JUST what you mean...eeek, sometimes it's a SCARY business.

also? I LOVE ALL OF YOUR ICONS. have i told you how much? gah. "think steve mcqueen?' with that cap? BRILLIANT.

Arrow, I have total confidence in your writing, but it's also interesting/exciting to see you taking chances that shake you up a little, too. That sounds kind of cool, actually. Go for it, sweetie. Show us your awesome.

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

There will be no slipping. You are MAGIC.

[dugrival.livejournal.com]

Hmm... sorry 'bout that. My computer really ought to come with some sort of breathalizer-activated keyboard lock.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Now where would be the fun in that??

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

you are one to talk, you who have the very cutiest icon EVER. did you draw it yourself? can you draw me one where they are forehead-to-forehead with BUZZ CUTS? :)

"think steve mcqueen?' with that cap?

He has to think REALLY HARD to save Fraser!!

i think you should have plenty of faith that you WON'T slip and fall and make the crowd go "ew."

Oh, you have no idea the schmoopy depths to which I have sunk this time. But I have adopted an attitude of "some people *like* intestines." So we shall see.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweets. We shall see if people can stomach the goop. :)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

oh you kid. you are so terribly wrong about that, which you shall see.

I have to *talk* to you btw, about BP and dates and stuff. can I calls you later?

[thayln.livejournal.com]

That feeling usually means you're onto something. I had an acting teacher who maintained that if you're comfortable with what you're doing then you're not really growing as an artist.

Of course, this is coming from a woman who hasn't been able to string two words together for months so what do I know?

*shrugs*

Frankly, I'm dying so see what you come up with.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

pookie! why aren't you writing? ::thwaps you, gives apologetic look::

I think my fear of schmoop is a worthy thing to try to overcome, but we shall see.

your geoffrey icon makes my heart go pitty-pat.

[thayln.livejournal.com]

Thwap all you want. Maybe you'll jog something loose.

Ah yes, and once we conquer your feer of schmoop then we'll start to work on your fear of those furry little animals that shall not be named. *eg*

The Geoffrey was made by the most excellent misfit_fandoms. I've snatched several of her works.

[zabira.livejournal.com]

hee! these little guys? they're by pentapus. she mainly works in SGA, but she did a one-off for due south, and it's BRILLIANT, isn't it? it's THE WHOLE SHOW in a tiny box!

and i have every faith that folks will like what you've got...

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

It is the bestest thing ever. I must go find the original post and fangirl her ass off.

I will make you an icon if you want? It doesn't look like you switch off much, but if you tell me what kinda thing you're interested in I can make you one just to have.

[zabira.livejournal.com]

OH, MAN! i would absolutely LOVE an icon from you! i was even offering a 1,000 word podfic to those who made me one, and i would gladly extend that same trade to you.

as i think you can see, RAY KOWALSKI is what i'm interested in, at least when it comes to due south. i leave it up to you, though, because yours are just BRILLIANT, so make whatever you like?

*dances*

:)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

oooh podfic! has anyone done spuffy's Signal to Noise (http://spuffyduds.livejournal.com/95905.html#cutid1)?

I will RayK you to DETH. :) Do you want your name on it, too?

[true-brit.livejournal.com]

there you go again, totally overlooking how supremely aerodynamic you are...

[zabira.livejournal.com]

no, i don't THINK anyone's done that yet. and i LOVE spuffy! she's given blanket permission for podficcers, so i could just pick another one if that's been done before?

as for the icon, it doesn't need my name, no, but if you have words you want to put on it, YAY for that!

in fact, YAYAYAYAYAYAY! thank you!

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Any spuffy will do me. I adore every single damned thing she's written.

::thanks you back!::

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you for that yummy link!

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

You guys are making me do gleeful spazzy hands. Snif.

And no, nobody's done that one, that I know of.

[spuffyduds.livejournal.com]

Sure babes! And I was so NOT wrong, HA.

If you call tonight I will probably have to do a speedy-chat-type thing. (Homework.) But tomorrow or Thursday I could be more languid and verbose.

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

Oh, the slippery slope. I made Fraser say "I love you"!! horrifying.

But tomorrow or Thursday I could be more languid and verbose.
mmm. languid spuffy.

Tomorrow would be peachy. I'll call you after my freakin' physical therapy (three months and COUNTING goddammit.)

[arrow00.livejournal.com]

so what you're saying is: I shall go zooming across the bigtop and out into the night, trailing the scent of popcorn and cotton candy?

[true-brit.livejournal.com]

"trailing the scent of popcorn and cotton candy"

Sweet beats a resounding splat. And I can track you :D
