and then they become total Glee-style mashups? Yeah, me, too. Right now I have Barrett Strong's Money (That's What I Want) crossing with Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. And it goes surprisingly well.

amberfocus: (Rose Ten2 Kissing)

You know that fic I was working on a while back when I was depressed and had writer's block and thought that everything coming out of my laptop was complete crap?  The one where Ten2 was wearing red cowboy boots and a cowboy hat and nothing else and Rose nicked the hat?  Oh, well, some of you might not because it was in a locked post, but anyway...

I just read it to my husband last night and he about fell off the bed laughing so hard.  In a good way.  So umm...maybe not crap after all.  I suppose I shouldn't try to judge my own writing when I am sick and hate the world.  That never ends well.  Speaking of endings...

I've got it nearly finished now.  My only problem is coming up with an ending.  It's crack!smut so it has to be appropriate to that genre.  But I just can't think of how to end it and I hate that.  Why is funny so much harder to write than steamy?  I need a punchline.

*sighs and wanders off to the grocery store*

How  ridiculous of me is it to feel an overwhelming sense of accomplishment to have an empty LJ inbox finally?  I've been behind for so long and I've finally caught up on all my comments, so wheeeee.  At least until morning, but hey, it's been forever since I haven't been running a week behind on some replies.  I'm just not one to not answer the comments because hey, you guys take the time to tell me what you think so why the heck shouldn't I answer you all?  Though I do fall behind when I'm heavy in the fic writing I still appreciate and thrive off of the reviews you lot give me.  And I love having the kind of back and forth thing going here that you can't really have on say Teaspoon.  Ah, well, I should really go to sleep now...

I have pretty much been ignoring LJ for the past couple of days to avoid spoilers and then of course, until I watched Journey's End.  Which I've done now.  And I'm...well...uncertain is the best word I can think of to describe it.

SPOILERS if you click on the Cut.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!  Oh, that's better.  I am having one of those days where I want to write, I have time to write, and the words seem to want to play hide and seek between the printed page and my brain.  Okay not printed page, computer page, but still the point is a valid one.  And it's driving me crazy.  It makes me just want to bang my head against the wall.

Yeah, so not doing that.  But still.  Anyway.  I'm watching series 3 of Cracker and I watched the two part episode that had John Simm in it when he was young.  I mean young.  He was playing a seventeen-year-old boy in it.  I thought Christopher Eccleston looked like a baby in this show, but John Simm was one.  Goodness.

You know that 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game?  I'm firmly convinced there needs to be one centering on Doctor Who and British actors.  Only it could probably be 2 degrees of Doctor Who.  Because my goodness, is there anyone who hasn't worked with someone who ended up on Doctor Who?  I'm pretty sure the answer is a big, fat no there.

Why yes, I am just mindlessly babbling now, why do you ask?

Well, it rained today so our plans to fix the fence fell through. *sighs*  Not that I felt well enough to do it anyway, though I am feeling a lot better, so it was no big loss to me.  We can't do it tomorrow as we're driving down to the kids' summer camp so I can find it without DH since he won't be home the week they go.  I am so looking forward to having a week to myself with no responsibilities and tons of free time to just write and write to my heart's content.
