Didn't do well the last day or so, work has been feral (this is the last week before a big deadline, and all my Esteemed Customers seem to have lost their Esteemed Marbles) but a got a handful of paragraphs written or rewritten...

It wouldn't help with his temper, never all that great and already fraying a little with the gloom, the silence, the emptiness, the not knowing what had happened, the not knowing what to do. Rodney, like Radek (if he was honest) and most of his people, always had the worst of problems with not knowing.

When the not knowing would be compounded by hunger and thirst... things could get ugly as only Rodney knew how.

To get anything written or edited while work is going wild is impressive! Kudos!

Next week things should get quieter, but we always have a swarm of last minute panics...

May you not have swarms! I love that icon! I should answer the phone that way sometime.

It's very hard to get anything creative done while stressed, so treble kudos for keeping on being successful. It wouldn't help with his temper, never all that great and already fraying a little with the gloom, the silence, the emptiness, the not knowing what had happened, the not knowing what to do is a great sentence.

My heroes Tend to Be Temperamental :)

My work tends to be up and down a LOT :( On of the reason I find November pico hard is that month is manic.

Keeping anything going when work is mad is a great achievement.

You just want to flump when you get home and watch something mindless...

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

[identity profile] sallymn.livejournal.com 2015-07-16 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
He does, he soooooo does.

Good going in the face of strife, but oh, the angst of it all!

Rodney is NOT the Silently Stoic type, which is fun to write :)

Very clear view of Rodney!

Thanks :) He's very... distinctive.
