Better and Life Update

Okay, I went 24 hours without writing anything and I feel so much better. My little crisis of confidence has passed, thank goodness. I was pushing too hard to make something work that didn't quite and I've got to not do that, just let the words take me where and when they will and go with the flow of the storylines.

It's a bit like sculpting really, which I haven't done in years. Most people look at a block of clay and try to make it into something. Me, I always looked at a block of clay and took away what shouldn't be there and let the sculpture take care of itself. It always formed under my hands into something amazing, but I often didn't know what it was until it chose to reveal itself.

Yay! I'm Writing Properly Again

I'm in the flow again.  This makes me so happy.  I ended up keeping the first 1152 words of what I'd already written on ch. 11 of Zeppelins and cut out the rest of it, though I'll probably revisit the dialog a few chapters from now, because it's good dialog, just was rushing the alien storyline far too fast, which was the real reason for my discontent.  It wasn't actually crap, just forcing stuff where it didn't yet belong.  But now I'm sailing along, so hopefully that means a finished, beta'd chapter by morning and I can post it tomorrow.  I'd say tonight, but Victoria has a date tonight and Amy has play rehearsal, so I don't know if I'd get it back from either of them tonight and I don't want to keep you all up late hitting the refresh key over and over again. *grins*  Not like any of you stalk my journal or anything for Zeppelins. *whistles innocently*

Looking for specific Nine fics

One of my LJ friends is looking for a couple of fics that she read on Teaspoon and now can't remember the name of or the author.  I've read them both, more than once, but I can't remember either.  These are the summaries she gave me.

The first one was about Rose getting injured by some sort of fog. Nine brings her back to the TARDIS and then they end up in bed together. The other one was a sequel to it and in it Rose gets injured by a cute furry creature's mom and her wrist gets broken. Nine's been avoiding her, but has to help her clean up because she needs to keep her arm still and they end up in the tub together.

Sound familiar to anyone?  Thanks so much if you can help.
