Fic-tinkering...

Tinkering...

Working on the original fic due for creative writing on noon Monday (which really means midnight Sunday). The main character is turning out to be a little like a teenage Niko Molokov. Only set in Detroit.

I've decided just to enjoy the class and not try too hard to write to the teacher's specs. Right now I'm learning most from reading auburnnothenna's style, her rich descriptions. I find that I learn best from other writers -- reading Maya taught me a lot about pacing -- one reason I should probably stay off the creative writing track and on the literature track of the English degree.

Fanfic-wise...

Reviewing notes for part three of Last Port Of Call. Hmm. Back to John's point of view this time. Rodney's about to get seriously in the way. Not sure if I should incorporate "Letters From Pegasus" canon or not. It's not part of the original outline and might just intrude, at the same time I don't want us to forget the situation outside.

Finish the edits to the new opening of Out Of Bounds. wildernessguru and betas ask for a transition for when John first meets Rodney to the original opening scene at the rink.

Then in the car, Sanskritsanskritsanskrit declension recitation. I have active verb conjugations down pretty well. Now need to get the passive and then the noun declensions.

Nouns first.

Tonight: 5 question quizes!
