Working holidays are fun... well, mostly

[wiseheart]

Originally, I intended to finally get "Web of Darkness" done during Christmas break and eventually write a chapter or two to some other stories.

Instead I found myself translating and/or rewriting (so far) eight chapters to "The Child", the second installment of my Original Trek/Original BSG series called "The Lost Years".

Go figure. I really didn't want to be bothered with this particular story, it isn't one of my favourites by far, and translating is always so much more troublesome than writing straight in English. Shows how much control I've got over these things, eh?

I want to finish my half-written Merlin vignette! I want to finish "Web"! I want to add a chapter to "Atlantis Café" and perhaps "Vox Angelica". Instead, I'll be saddled with this frigging story for the rest of the holidays, it seems - and by my usual luck, I'll probably run into a serious writer's block a chapter or two before the end...

Stories do seem to do that! (both which ones want to be worked on and stalling before the end)

Good luck!

Thanks. I really wish to be done with this story.

Soledad, I forbid you to write anything other than Merlin! *tries to make scary face*

Don't tell me, tell the muse!

I'll try to finish this half-written vignette in any case. I find that in the Merlin fandom, it's the short character pieces I can do best.

I had great plans, too. *sighs*

But hey! Holidays are holidays. Let's enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts. :-)

I do! But during school time, I'm simply too drained to concentrate, so it has to be done now!

BTW, managed to get the Budapest DVD to you. I'll PM you when it's posted, so that you can start looking into your mailbox. ;)

>>managed to get the Budapest DVD to you<<

Yay! I'm looking forward to it. XD

It's exactly the same for me (although I'm not a teacher). There's just nothing left after a day's work. :-(
