I expect that any drabbles I write I will also post in my LJ as well, simply for continuity's sake.. I like to keep them all in one place.

I can't remember what I was dreaming about, but my first thought upon waking this morning:
I miss Ellery.
louisev:
Awww... awww...
I feel so guilty now. But - what can I say? I am waiting for an inspiration to write,something that will be fresh and new and fit into the universe I created. So far, though, nothing has come up.
One thing I can tell you all is that I don't want to end up writing something inferior and uninspired and off-tone just because there is still a demand for it. I write from inspiration, and if the inspiration isn't there, I just can't write it. I know that seems odd, but that is partly why I have never desired to have a job that required me to do creative writing. Leslie is trying to get me back on the stick of editing "Taking Chances" so we can get it to the agent that expressed an interest, so I will be putting some energy into that this weekend. Maybe that will get me started again - handling the text.

*sigh* Don't we all, Marie... :-\
But I've finally printed Taking Chances and I've started reading it and OMG, I really love the rework/rewriting that was done on this story. I've reached the part where Bill punched Colson's lights out! >:( >:(
Colson and Ellery make such a great couple. I love how Ellery called Colson 'sweetheart' right from the beginning...<a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNfox000%25282%2529%2526i%253D8%252F8%255F8%255F10%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank">
Reread Marie, reread! :)
I'll light a candle for some good inspiration from your muse Louise.

I am nearly halfway through the editing "shrinkage" process on "Taking Chances", the goal is to reduce the size of the reworked version (the one on tcreader.livejournal.com) from 115,000 words down to less than 100,000. In the process of doing the editing I realized "Wow, Ellery sure is gabby!" hahahahah.
