Not My Brightest Moment

[teddy_radiator]

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.

Hear, hear! This is the main reason I don't post in a great many places, as well. An antipathy for rules. Do I HAVE TO have a beta? Then, I won't do it. Do I HAVE TO watch my language/subject matter? Then I won't do that as well! Because for me, that would take the fun out of it, and writing is a source of fun for me. Sure, it would be great to have a lot of people read my stuff. But not if it isn't fun to get it to them in the first place.
