Not My Brightest Moment

Ashwinder posted the latest chapter of Lay Me Low (Chapter 12) and I'm ever increasingly grateful to my alpha and betas for getting me to the point where I only had five cavities on this (compared to the 40 I had on TPP for As Morning Falls Chapter 4 - lack of beta, anyone?).

I am still reeling from Sempra's stunning artwork for Chapter 10 and Chapter 11. She has done illustrations for Chapters 2 and 3 as well, and I'm just blown away by her, as always. I often say that our Muses are drinking buddies.

I posted a poem to LJ_Scribe yesterday, but just as I sent it off, I realised it was not an automatic posting, and was subject to the moderator's discretion whether or not it would be posted. It hasn't been, so I guess I didn't make the cut, but the dumb thing is that I wrote it on the posting - I have no other copy of it.

I know, dumb as a very dumb thing. I've written to the mod and asked if she would send it back to me, but if she doesn't, serves me right. I can be such a dope at times. At times, I'm amazed my birth certificate has finished printing.

but I've seen some of the entries on there already, and I'm not that impressed.

Same here.

Someone even asked the moderators how they were going to make sure that it didn't turn into a popularity contest where someone just gets all their family and friends to vote for their entry regardless of the quality of the entry? No one bothered answering him. (See, you aren't the only one they ignore! LOL)


If you told me I'd be on Chapter 15 with no end in sight....

Tell me about it! My own fanfic was only going to be a couple of chapters...now it's up to 22 chapters (in addition to the 2-part Prologue), it'll probably be at least 35 when it's done...and it's evolved into a multi-volume tome (for each decade from 1969-1990s) plus final Epilogue... :-P
