86 days left...

... and I made a good start into the new week.

I started with making some decent headway with my needle book project, which had to take place on the back burner behind the mini sewing kits, right in the morning.

Then I wrote a couple of pages for Chapter 12 (currently untitled) of the Dwobbit fic. I'm glad I could move on from Chapter 11 which is with the lovely and selfless lindahoyland right now, as it needs a wary eye, being somewhat uneven and repetitive. In Chapter 12 I could finally add some new stuff, and that is a relief. I hope I won't get stuck with it again.

Furthermore, I made some colleagues very happy by taking some of yesterday's plum pie with me to school and offering it them. My baking is quite popular among them, and they needed a morale boost right at he beginning of the new week.



As I'm currently reading ungodly amounts of Hobbit fics (much of them fairly horrible, but still...) I came upon something that finally sounded interesting, based on the summary. I started to read it, and it seemed strangely familiar. In fact, it was supiciously similar to my own story, Elf-root. After a couple of paragraphs I was certain that my story has been plagiarized, so I opened another window and called up Elf-root. The wording was the same, the story was the same... I was beginning to grow really angry and made thoughts about how could I report the theft. So I took a look at the author's name - only to realize that I was actually reading my own story!

I think that speaks clearly about my frame of mind right now! *g*

LMAO well that's sure a story to remember! But hey, at least you weren't plagiarized, that would have been upsetting.

Here's to hoping you'll be less scatter-brained again soon. "Just" 86 days to go!

Hey, we all have brain farts.

Will probably be next week before I can get to your chapter as this week is likely to be pretty hectic.

Don't worry about it! I'm going to comb through the entire story anyway, as I'm starting to post it to AO3 soon, so we have all the time of the world. As always, I'm eternally grateful for your help.

*lol* at reading your own story.
