Tanks, but the truth is, writing a travelling journal on LJ is actually fun. People comment on it, and we can share the delight.

And Rodney always has a very good idea how bad things can become, right?

Poor John, he never seems to get to eat properly.

Just shake the whole thing like a caleidoscope and the lines will arrange themselves eventually. ;))

Progress is progress!

Thanks! I stayed up and did a bit better :)

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Complain away! Guilt is no fun at all.

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

Excellent!

I love the description of the snow here, and the narrative voice.

Any way that works is a good enough way to work! Finding structure can be really difficult, I hope that it all comes together.

Thinking is good - when I find myself in a not-writing phase, as often as not what is really going on is a not-thinking phase.

Part of the problem is that bodyswap ought to be a great way for them to understand each other, but they're both being so obsessed with its impact on them personally that there is a signal failure to engage with "interesting, this is how the world treats me when I am X" in ways that they might actually find useful for the relationship ;-)

While ending a story often seems to have an element of seeming further away the closer you ought to have got, I am at least definitely proceeding towards the end of what plot there is.

[elmey.livejournal.com]

My theory exactly :D

One day I'll learn to write chronologically...

[elmey.livejournal.com]

That might be part of it. You're definitely painting pictures as you go along. And they're very effective pictures.

Excellent! A little more each day and first thing you know you have completed story :)

[nineveh-uk.livejournal.com]

But not this day!

Great! And the number of words is on an upwards trend.

[saki101.livejournal.com]

It's so true. Some of the thinking seems to happen surreptitiously and once I become aware, it slows down!

[saki101.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think Sherlock's nutritional knowledge is, at best, eccentric.

I was thinking they could go have Chinese after the pub at that nearby place that stays open until 2 am, but they may need to follow someone. I'm not sure yet!

[saki101.livejournal.com]

This story is playing peekaboo inside my head!

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I spent a disproportionate amount of effort on the snow.

[espresso-addict.livejournal.com]

They are definitely both the awkward types! The insight might dawn on them after the swap back?
