teddy_radiatorBecause I've finished my first ever Exchange fic. I'm drunk on several lite beers, I'm giddy with joy, I just read a Snape/OC that made my heart pulse in my seat and I'm THRILLED TO BE DONE WITH MY EXCHANGE FIC!!!!
Seriously, this has been so exciting for me! I wasn't even going to do it, until![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
droxy bullied bribed encouraged me to do it, and boy am I glad she did. This has been a learning experience. Firstly, I learned that I can write another person's prompt if necessary; secondly, I learned that a good beta (stgulik , of course) can literally bring a sick fic roaring back to life with a few well-placed edits, and thirdly, I can write smut with substance. I like what I've written. Really, really like it.
This has been a revelation to me. I'm capable of taking all the elements (my Muse, my beta, my friends) and use them to make something good. I'm sorry, folks, the beers are talking. A little.
Andsempraseverus and I are going to be working on an original fic soon with her illustrating! And mimimanderly and I are in the middle of The Sempra Deck, which I am proud of.
If I can get a job in the next month, I'll be dangerous!
There is a second prompt from my recipient that has me intrigued...let's see...three full weeks until the deadline...

Date: 2011-07-10 02:20 pm (UTC)Good luck this week - I know it will be stressful and overwhelming, but soon you'll be in a new routine and you won't even remember the old one.
I lived in England for ten great years - I had a wonderful work experience, I met fantastic friends, I played in a super band, I had a blast, but three years back in the US, and I barely remember what it felt like to live there. Very sad, but that's the way the body copes with change, I guess.
