Self-revelation: I am a bad writer because I say things with characters not about them.

Mental note: it's still totally fun, though.

F-list note: the router is still dismantled. Now I'm on the laptop. AHAHAHAHAHAA I AM SNEAKY! SNEAK! SNEAK!

Am at 1,500 words, which is *works out* 3/10 of the way through. Which is totally nearly a third! Which means I am allowed more tea. I have also found a picnic because our house has been invaded by Germans and I don't want to step on any of them if I try to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night. I have decided that the midway point will be celebrated by reading Ryan Ross, Wedding Planner because I have a craving for ridunculous bandom fluff.

Can you tell that my essay is boring my brain out through my nose?

ETA: This is an important observation since it underlines the importance of the student being able to access the learning gained in circumstances other than the assessment act, making sure that it is oriented in their knowledge base rather than specifically centred around an isolated use; this emphasises that teaching 'to the test' is essentially empty of educational value.

PLZ SEND HELP: HAVE LOST ABILITY TO FORM COHERENT SENTENCES.

'sdoing wonders for my word count, though.

Speaking of the Wedding Planner AU, did you see the teeny, tiny bit of sequel snippet (http://adellyna.livejournal.com/374399.html#cutid1) that she posted? It continutes the tradition of overwhelmingly adorable and yay.

That's a totally valid way of writing, I feel. As long as it's true to the characters -- if you're not bending them OOC to fit what you want the story to do -- then how does that make you a bad writer? It's just a different approach.

And doing it in one story doesn't mean you're incapable of writing the other way to fit the needs of a different story, or to fit what you want to do with it.

(Also, it's still totally fun is a PERFECTLY valid reason to carry on. *grin* Especially when it's fun for the reader too! Which yours are. so there you go.)

It's funny you should mention that, because I've always thought that was exactly what made you such a good writer.

I'm really rather intrigued by that comment - would you mind expanding on how you came to the realisation?
