Summary: A possible case of mom hair, some ugly khakis, lots of paperwork, and possibly a mystery to solve.

 

A/N: Ugh, so, so, so out of practice. Not gonna lie, this is a really really old piece that I started what feels like a million years ago, but probably 5. I think the only way I'm going to get through this idea is to break it down into 4 vignettes rather than one whole story. So here's part one....

A/N 2: So I posted this yesterday on twistedshorts on LJ, however my computer was being a pain so I didn't get it posted here.

 So, a month into me saying I was going to write more and post more and I disappeared. In my defense, I got distracted by redoing my basement a touch earlier than I had planned. So in exciting news for me, and you probably don't care, but one room in my basement has carpet, rearranged, and all set up for my girls to have a room to play and game in. That Barbie Dreamhouse that Santa decided the youngest needed for Christmas takes up half the space, but it's not longer cluttering the main floor. In Santa's defense, she absolutely loves that house and plays with it daily.

But in exciting news for you, while I do have more home improvement projects on my list, they aren't as heavily involved as what I did to the basement. And hubby's long vacation is over so I won't have him wondering what I'm doing every time I'm no longer in the same room for him for more than five minutes. Seriously, I love the man, but geez.
I have empty space in my brain once again so I can fill it with writing. So I'm gonna do my best this week. I did come across an old fic idea that I'm ready to start scribbling down a scene or two so maybe I'll share next week.
In exciting news for our house, hubby is fully vaccinated. Both shots and several weeks have past so he should be protected. Don't get me started on when I will get a chance to get mine.
Hope everyone is well!

*taps on microphone* Is this thing on? Is anyone still there? Especially since this account was apparently suspended for a while. But yay! I've got it back up and running.


So, I've had a thought or two. Mostly, I need to get back into writing, because it makes me happier and I tend to run on a more even keel if I have a creative outlet. The past several years have been stressfull and my instinct was to pull in and circle the wagons as I tried to make sense of it all and keep things running smoothly. I took a moment to myself here and there and produced a ficlet or two but for the most part, did very, very little. Even the amount of reading I did dropped significantly as well (both published novels and fanfic), and that's saying something since I work in a store surrounded by books.

I would go into all that has been happening, but I don't want to fill pages with it. Suffice it to say, I made some changes professionally that have allowed me more time at home with my girls, and while yes, it was waaaaayyyy less pay, emotionally it has been better... financially we'd be better if I was able to work more because of the pandemic, but I'm thankful that I do have a job that is flexible with my schedule to allow me to be home when I need to be to help with the remote learning that my girls do. Our local school board elected for a blended model with cohorts to give some in person instruction with much smaller class sizes, but remote on the other three days of the week. My youngest, who has asthma, is in first grade but there are only 2 other kids in her classroom on her days in school. My oldest has more but still manageable. And I have to say, our school is personally rocking it. The teachers are bending over backwards to make sure their students are being taken care of. I'm also aware that while we have been able to make it work with minor hiccups, others aren't in so lucky of a position or have the benefit of being a trained teacher.

But what you are really interested in, or at least, I hope so - writing. My goal is to write every week. Maybe a lot, maybe a little. The amount doesn't matter. I just want to write. I want to try and get something written.

Do I have any specific stories in mind? I have a few rattling around in my head that I would like to try and get fleshed out.

Will I work on any old WIPs? Possibly. Some of them are so old that I've lost notes and don't know where I was originally going with them. I have been binging some shows as of late, some old favorites, some new ones, so I don't know what will spur the muse into action. Don't hesitate to ask about any of them. Who knows, it might click something in the brain and get me going.

How will you know what I've written? I'm hoping to make a progress post every weekend to let you in. I may even post a snippet of that week's work to get some feedback, which is always helpful.

Can you do anything? Sure! Feel free to drop me a line, comment on posts, bug me to write. Any incentive will be welcome! I'm on multiple platforms - the old standby Livejournal - polgara_5, Dreamwidth - polgara_5, and tumblr - polgara5.

Hey! Third week in a row! Look at me go!

Not too much to report. My house started the week a complete and total disaster area. I've downgraded it to just a total disaster area. Kitchen renovations and my husband's need to jumpstart before I can organize are the culprits. The good news, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Plaster repairs are done so we are slowly getting to the painting. Which is a pain because I can only do one wall at time because of having to move appliances around. But if things go well most of it should be done before my parents arrive on Friday. Here's hoping.

New job still going well. I've decided I definitely do not like putting out new magazines and cleaning that area up. I am way too OCD to work in that section, lol. But I'm enjoying my time there and some of the titles of books that I have come across just make me giggle.

On the writing front. Sorry if any of you got bombarded with TtH and AO3 notifications. I'm trying to get everything uploaded from where some of these fics have only been hanging out on my LJ. But I did get the next part of the Buffy/Bones series up, so yay! I'm hoping to start working on my heroine big bang fic this week, which is a Buffy/Steve fic crossing BtVS/Marvel MCU.

Cheers to all!

So past the boring news for you, and to something exciting. I'm going to polish up the next part of the Fish Climbing Trees series and get it posted sometime this week. So yay!

Hope everyone has a good week!

So I realize I have been really rather absent as of late. Real life has been a struggle and it's hard to find the energy to write, post, respond, etc with any sort of regularity when all you want to do is sleep and worry about, well, about everything.

Filled! Thank you so much everyone!

I still have 1 prompt left open on my Wishlist fics. You can go here to sign up!

Wishlist 2015, Prompt Post

What is the Wishlist?

The Wishlist is a multi-fandom Christmas fanfiction fest. It is something that started very small and simple three years ago. The premise was simply to write twenty-four ficlets in response to twenty-four prompts, posted between 1 Dec and 24 Dec. Fandom gifts, if you will. Since then it's grown and changed a bit.

The community and the rules in detail can be found here.

I have signed up to be a writer and if you want to give me a prompt, please leave a comment on this entry.

Rules

- I accept the first 6 prompts I am given, regardless of who you are or if I know you.

- You give me characters/pairing, a fandom and a prompt.

- If I don't know the fandom you're requesting, your prompt doesn't count. I also reserve the right to ask for a new prompt if the one you give is outside my comfort zone for writing. However, if you are here, then chances are you are familiar with my style. Also, I will not accept prompts asking for continuation of Fish Climbing Trees, Agent Slayer, Undertow, or any other unfinished and obviously abandoned fic. The fandoms I write in are (and I can do straight or crossover):

BtVS
Avengers MCU (However, I haven't been watching Agents of SHIELD, so I can't accept prompts for it)
Star Trek reboot
Magnificent 7
Stargate SG-1, maybe Atlantis
Dresden Files (bookverse only)
I could be persuaded to try another verse, all you have to do is ask


- If I find your prompt in any way offensive, I will disregard it, too. Fair warning.

- Your prompts should somewhat match what I usually write. It can be a quote, an idea, a specific situation, but the more you give me, the more I have to work with. Throwing Character X/Character Y, whatever at me is going to get you whatever.

- If you don't have an lj account, leave an anonymous comment, but make sure to sign it with a name (possibly your TtH name, if you're coming from that end.)

- I answer the prompts in the order I like best and post them here and/or in the [livejournal.com profile] wishlist_fic community, one a day, starting 1 Dec 2015.

Again, I need fandom, characters or pairings, prompt, and your name.
