Guys, I'm done.

impulsereaderI did it. I wrote the last line today. It really was only a line or two, I've technically been done since I powered through the Solitary Cyclist adaptation on Sunday, but I really didn't consider it done until I'd closed out the section. I'll start posting it soon, I honestly do spend more time reading what I write than I do writing it, and parts of this are still due to be read a few more times. (Only once I'm sick of reading something is it likely ready to be posted.) When I do post, it will likely be in 5 parts due to size and logical breaking up points. I still cannot properly chapter it, they just don't feel like chapters, though I am contemplating MacBeth quotes to header the sections. I feel I should inject a bit more Shakespeare into my Sherlock Shakespeare fic which so spectacularly fails to feature Shakespeare...more Shakespeare to come, I promise! Also, a new request for your input featuring Mrs Hudson which I think may intrigue you...

Date: 2012-08-23 06:01 am (UTC)Thank you for hopping over, and I'm sorry I'm falling behind on Little Things, I've been mightily trying to finish (I was very stern with myself this weekend about writing instead of being distracted and not writing) and work has been busy so I'm behind on my friends page and fic. I saw you posted three at once and whimpered - but...reading helps - and my brain said, 'NO. Write instead.'
I'll be round as soon as I can, I promise!
Oh, and thank you, informally here, more formally later; just in the last day I've been writing something Super Secret (for about the next month) and doing it in the form of 221Bs thanks to your influence. So thank you! You're helping me to learn to be a better writer and to keep this particular project short - very important for an author who tends to run with prompts (read as scissors) as I do...

Date: 2012-08-24 01:36 am (UTC)No, really, I'm just learning. I hadn't even attempted to write a complete story prior to a year ago this month. The Sherlock 60s and the 221Bs are teaching me a lot about words I don't need.
As a reader, I was (am) a bit iffy on 221Bs because I enjoy a story long enough to be a bit of a meal rather than a snack (snack-sized fics just make me want more fic) but your idea of using them to tell a larger story is brilliant, and my writerly brain responded enthusiastically.

Cash would, after hiding for a few days, be all up in their faces. "HI! HIHIHIHIHIHI!" Minerva would only be interested in the mutual grooming aspect of having them around.
