It has been a busy damn week. Since last we all spoke, I've been to LA and back! E3 was busy and loud and shiny and full of nifty toys to play with. I'm still pretty exhausted, and it's all a blur in my mind -- I can't remember what I saw at which booth, when. If you're curious about more of my impressions, go and check out my journal. I'd type it all out again, but I've been busy and I'm tired of typing. :)
In other news, I did Q&A today, so everyone go and read it. </blatant plug>
And can I just say that there is nothing in the world better than the feeling of breaking six months' worth of writers' block on your FF7 novel that's been in progress since 1998, and turning out about 45K of plain text in about five hours before you crash for the morning. At this rate, chapter 8 might be done in another few days, and I can go back to safely ignoring it for another six months or until people start nagging at me again. I have such the love-hate relationship with this story. Only 12 chapters left... at this rate, I might be done by 2005. (Well, okay, let's be honest. 2010.)
Notes From Fanfic Land
Not much to say here, except for the usual plea of READ THE BLOODY GUIDELINES! If we get one more fic in .doc format, I will not be responsible for any subsequent outbreaks of sarcasm and abuse. I have a thesaurus, and I'm not afraid to use it.
Writing Tip of the Week
5/22/01, from FG5 (baff@tampabay.rr.com): Take a different perspective. Don't rewrite plots already read a thousand times.A different approach with your writing will grab the attention of your readers, and even more so of the people you wish to publish your work.
