Naruto fanfic

[estepheia]

I just found out that daughter #1 is writing Naruto m/m romantic fanfiction (in German, though). *is proud*
She also bought herself an Akazuki coat and a red wig and is now dressing up as Gaarra or Sasori (whoever they are). She sure is her mom's daughter. :D

I am still working on Broken English - a snail is speedy gonzales, compared to my writing, but still....

Attended a fantasy writing workshop last weekend. Didn't learn one tiny little bit that I didn't know already. bah!
Ended up with two story prompts that sound remotely like fun - but not original enough to persue. The author who gave the workshop was nice and fun, but it was an event for beginner's, not my thing. Plus, I find her published book pretty unimpressive. Can't understand why a publishing house went for it... oh well.
Continued finger crossing would be greatly appreciated for my manuscript which I sent off to three different publishing houses.

Need a few clones. One to do fannish writerly stuff and one to do household and work.

Sometimes I miss the times when I didn't have a job. I had so much time for wiriting. Plus I was younger then, not always tired after 3 pm. *sigh*

Rofl. It doesn't seem like she'd be old enough. Who is she shipping? Personally I have a soft spot for Kakashi Hatake/Iruka Umino but that might be because they're actually adults. LOL Also there's this great antagonistic tension between them. If you can get past the 'manga-ness' of it, it's kind of fun.

:) She's shipping Deidara(?)/Sasori (not sure how to spell that).
I've only seen one epi so far, but will probably watch some more, once Game of Thrones is over... :-)
heee.
Katharina is 14, that's old enough, I suppose. Wow, doesn't time fly....

Oo. Not familiar with them. Mind you, I've hardly seen any episodes myself, I just found a pairing that appealed and read my way through the available fics. As you do :)

And 14? Good lord, time does fly. And doesn't it make you feel old. *g*

I'm glad to see that you're back on LJ, btw!
I thought about you often.
The other day I told a RL friend about writercon and about the great times we had when fandom was still very alive and kicking. *sigh*

I've always been here, or hereabouts. I read, and very occasionally post. I've been suffering from a combination of of my parents and antidepressants that removed all my highs and didn't do much for the depression.

Writercon was fun, wasn't it. That fandom was so strong. I've messed about at the edges of others, but it's not the same. Right now I'm doing some forum RP (role play) which is a different style of writing to what I'm used to. The nice thing is there's no comment competition. The only feedback comes from those you're playing with in the form of more story. I kind of like it. Low pressure, you know.

Depression sucks!
After the death of my grandma, everything slowly came apart. I didn't notice it for a long time.

Currently, I'm feeling better. Apparently, my dosage of thyroid meds was not what it should have been, and I believe that my hormone coil slowly ate up my brains, but now that it's out and I'm taking twice the amount of thyroid hormones I'm feeling better. Not creative, but better.

Funny how we're ruled by body chemistry.
I'm sorry that your life lacks highs. *hug* The BTVS fandom was so exciting it swept all the lows away. I wish there were another fandom to love with quite the same fervour, but I guess BtVS was my first love, fandom wise...

I know what you mean. I've only got any writing done at all this year so far because I had time off work for an operation.

:wishes you luck with your manuscript:

Thank you. *beams*

Operation? Oh no! Did everything work out?

Re: Thank you. *beams*

[shapinglight]

Yes, thanks. I had an operation on my foot and am recovering well.
