Doing (today):

Some laundry. Some reading. Some cooking.

Have done (recently):

Some writing (thankfully) - 'Normal' is in better shape than it ever was before. Cut a lot of superfluous stuff, rearranged all the parts so that it makes a lot more sense now. Am now looking for opinions from people who feel comfortable with John.

Should be doing:

Revising.
Giving feedback to Scapekid, Jenny, Kadira, Ballyharnon.
Writing Eastercon report.
Calling people who might give me a job.
Catching up with friends page (over 300 new posts since I last looked at it. Yeesh. Of course, I just friended five people to make it even worse. *g*)
Writing 'Finder' #2 reaction for [livejournal.com profile] _finder.

***

Things that made me feel good today:

Matt, my saviour, tells me (re: revising) that 'my nothing is less than yours, so there' which I take to mean that he has done even less revising than I have done so far. (Hard to believe, but feels good, anyway.)

'Together' has been recced again. Go here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/insandseyes/2090.html
Ah, Harry Potter fandom. It's almost impossible not to love you back. How strange. (This makes we want to continue working on The Dystopian Epic, but I promised my Farscape muses to finish 'Normal' first...)

Oh, hey, and this journal has actually been discovered by someone from my Real Life whom I don't mind reading it. I don't really mind anybody reading it, otherwise it wouldn't be public, but I'm really sort of happy to see that particular person around. Welcome. You know who you are. :-)

It's him indeed...

The 'story' isn't really a story yet - it's more like 'six snippets in search of a story'. ;-) For most of the last year and a bit, through countless revisions, I've been trying to get closer to John's voice. For some reason, I find him exceedingly difficult to write. It's still not perfect, but it's a lot better than it was.

I'm just looking for... well, anything you can think of, really. Any kind of comment. On the John-ness or lack of John-ness of the piece, on a possible direction to take it in... will e-mail you what I have so far. Got to give it another quick read-over, though, first.

I think one of the main reasons I haven't been writing more Farscape fic is that I find John almost impossible to get right, but happen to find him the most interesting character.
