Writing things
1. I made myself a tag for my favorite stories.
thistlerose has one, and I thought it was a neat idea. Mostly, I made it for myself, so it contains some seemingly random things I quite like and it omits a few stories that were popular. I had fun making it, and I think it would be a reasonable way for someone new to get to know me.
2. After three complete drafts -- by which I mean I started over completely three times -- I finished my
holmestice story.
yeomanrand has read it and assured me it is not hideous. It is not quite the story I hoped for, and I don't think I've figured out Sherlock's voice yet, but I am satisfied and hope my recipient will be too.
3. Writing for deadlines was easier when my average story was somewhere around 2500 words. These days, it's hard for me to write a story that's under 4,000 words. My
hp_holidaygen is longer than that already and possibly has another two or three thousand words to go. I hope my recipient likes long stories! ...And I hope I can write a long story by the due date next Sunday.
4. I wonder if I ought to be watching that fairy tale show everyone keeps talking about. On the one hand, I really miss being part of a new fandom. It's so exciting and so easy to get people to read your stories. On the other hand, I've only watched TV once since March, and I really like that feeling.
5. I have a cold, which is not at all what I wanted right before Thanksgiving. My throat hurts and food tastes all funny. I think I'm going to go to bed now even though it's only 9:30.

On the other hand, I think the writing is fairly weak, and there's one character I find so irritating that I had to stop watching the show.
I hope you're feeling better.
Which character drove you crazy? I can imagine a few candidates.
I wish we got to see Emma doing more hunting people down. It's cool that she's a bail bonds person, but so far that skill hasn't been particularly useful.
