But it also reminded me of the fact that I haven't read your Midhavens novel yet. Are you still willing to share it?
Don't worry, you haven't read it because I haven't shared it yet! When it is finished, I will post it under a special lock in my LJ. People will need to request to be on the list to read it since it contains content that I won't assume everyone will want on their flists. I'll be sure to let you know when I start posting it.
I can't share WiPs because then I write them for my audience instead of myself, and I become dishonest. That's the only way I can explain it, and it doesn't make much sense, I know. :^/ But the feeling of writing is different; I write to other's expectations rather than my own.
This made me snicker so hard that the guy next to me (I'm in an internet cafe) almost jumped out of his seat.
Lol! I laugh at flist posts sometimes and startle Bobby, who rarely gets the humor. :^P
Honestly, I was doing research for my Elven death/fading essay the other day and looking at an old version of LotR...iirc, Frodo was once called "Bingo." Bingo! Makes me feel like singing, "B-I-N-G-O and Bingo was his name-o!"
Your story sounds like a lot of fun! There's nothing wrong with writing a story like that, though certain individuals make it seem like the world is ending to write a "Mary Sue" or a self-insert.
What can I say except happy writing and I hope you won't have to go on drugs again before you finish the entire Midhavens story. ;)
I hope so too! I so rarely use medication that I have a very strong response to it when I do. That night, I could literally feel my sympathetic nervous system kicking in. Of course, I'm a biopsychgeek and prone to paying attention to things like that. In retrospect, though--as uncomfortable as that night was--I wouldn't have had it any differently, as it gave me this tremendous world in which to play. :)
