creative weekend

[owlmoose]

My attention was pulled a thousand different ways this weekend -- two stories, Harry Potter, a two-day event for my alumnae association.

However, I did manage to complete and post AGL 29. It was actually easier to write than I thought it would be once I got started. I found myself listening to Brahms "Requiem" while both drafting and polishing it; beautiful, heroic, sad. I think it came out well.

With that, I've decided to put that story on hold so that I can dedicate my life (and I mean that all too literally...) to OMC. Five is completely drafted, Six partially so, and RyRy's last update inspired me to write parts of Ten. I'll have the house to myself tonight, so I should be able to really delve in to it.

I am so glad. I have spent the morning dealing with a tricky part of Thirteen. We are truly feeding one another.

I promise to read AGL when I finish this one. Right now, I am like you, unable to leave our shared universe to enter another. Even HP has no magic just now.

You cannot know how happy I am you write fast. LOL

I've actually been rather enjoying HP when I can make myself concentrate on it. But I'm not devouring it as I did the previous books.

I look forward to seeing what you think of AGL when you get to it. It's rather different than my other work, being more plot-driven and less of a character study (although being me, I can't keep the character studies out entirely!).

I've always been a fast writer; I hope I don't end up sacrificing quality for speed. On the other hand, I find that if I agonize too much over my work, it can end up over-written. Sometimes the first impulse really is the best.
