Snippets from the unbalances fanfic writer's mind.

Yesterday I had a difficult exam and then a series of computerized tests for attention deficit. This morning I got the grade for my second-to-last exam and it was pretty good. Last night I had no excuses and so after napping I spent some time writing. Not editing, not ruminating, not agonizing, just putting words to paper (uh, screen) in the order that they came to mind.

Today I am looking at my fanfic folder. There is a lot I want to write, and many in-progress projects that are owed lots of loving attention. My folder also contains an .odt file that is basically nothing but a list of synonyms for the word "inappropriate". Funnily enough, that is also the filename. I despair of decoding my own thought processes.

At any rate, my copy of Dragon Age II shipped from Canada last Wednesday and so will clearly take a while to get here. In the meantime, these are my quiet, self-indulgent days, which means we've finally hit the inevitable point of no return. I am about to start writing Dragon Age fanfic. There is no two ways about it. Realistically, I knew this would happen, but I've been putting it off for months, so it's almost a shock that the writing part is actually going on.
