Good things

I swapped around some shifts at work. Starting this week, I only have to open two mornings a week (Monday and Friday). This makes me ridiculously happy. The downside is that I have to close on Tuesdays, but I'm actually looking forward to that, too -- it gives me one morning a week to really, truly sleep in, or run errands, or (as today) hole up in Panera for an hour or so of writing. And then evenings are quiet, so it might give me a chance to get some focused work done. So we shall see.

Last night was Beethoven. I had figured I would be likely to remember it better than usual, since we had to memorize it the last time we sang, but I was surprised at how well it came back. Especially considering that it's not a piece I listen to much -- I suspect I retained the Carmina so well not just because I've now performed it four times, but because I also listen to it a lot and so it stays in my ear.

Finally, the kissing battle returns!! Which is another reason I'm glad to have some writing time today. Off to spend some time with my plot bunnies...

That's how it works. :) You may, of course, cross-post elsewhere if you like.

Also, that is a lovely piece.

Thank you. LJ did not send this message on to me-it has been behaving badly today in these parts. I found it when scanning my Friends Page.

I have another question: is it acceptable for a person to submit more than one response to this challenge? I have another five hundred word story written which fits the requirements. I wrote it while watching the news and it shows it! ;)

Weird. I seem to be getting my message responses, although a few have been delayed. But maybe I should be checking...

Anyway, I'm not running this game, so I'm not the final word ;) but I'd say there is no limit. I've already posted two myself (in response to requests) and hope to write more. So I say, go for it!

I found your FFXII story and like it very much. It has your usual confident skill with the flip at the end. However, I could not find the other. It is a thicket over there. I think one of my regular posters is putting her stories up on FFN. I must go check. What a flurry! ;)

I'll repost them all elsewhere when I'm finished, so you will see them all eventually. :) Although given that the other story I posted is about Wakka and Rikku, maybe it's just as well that you can't find it. ;)

I have bunnies for my more usual characters working on my brain now, so hopefully I can contribute more to the anarchy soon...

After what happened the last time I commented on a W/R story of yours, I think I shall give this one a miss. The burned cat fears even the cold stove.
