flow-state

seldearThere are days when I get into a flow-state of writing; the planets align, the stars sing, the heavens shine down upon me.
I seem to write best when I'm present in a group with the option of participation, but not required to involve myself. My big run of words was written while the gals in chat burbled merrily along and tried to incite the cylonbunnies to revolt. I was included but didn't have-to-play-or-we'll-kick-you-out. Always nice.
*hugs the gals of chatness* I don't tell you often enough how much you rock.
Last night and today were good. Mostly in terms of writing because, let's face it, that's all I really do these days. And sit by the phone waiting formy true love job agencies to call.
You know, I have a lot of unfinished fics in SG-1. As in a lot.
Anyway, word counts in the last 24 hours:

fanfic100: 1,500 (finished) [I can see this is going to be a problem since I've developed this antipathy for writing drabbles.]
ficathon: 500 (halfway there - this is a tricky one)
SGA fic: 2,500 (maybe half, maybe a third)
Nearly 5,000 words in total. Not bad. Even if I am sitting around all day like a vegetable. This can't last.
And I can cook too! Lime-and-pepper-crust salmon fillets with sweet potato and avocado salsa. They turned out quite well considering I only based it loosely on the recipe.
Aren't you thrilled by my day? I know I am!
Let's see if I can get another 500 in before I go bedtime.

Date: 2005-10-14 12:46 am (UTC)Finely chop some flat-leaf parsley and mix in with lime juice. Chop up a fresh avocado and toss the avocado in the lime-parsley mix.
Serve with rice or baked potatoes, and some greens of choice.
The amounts are all relative, but I used half a lime for the juice in the marinade and half a lime for the avocado and it fed three people!
