I haven't done much writing today - just a single paragraph for my Victorian Sherlock story because it really annoys me that two chapters before the end I just can't kick the plot into moving. *sigh*
Also, I've just got back the next chapter of the Enterprise story from a very nice, helpful American lady who's offered to beta it. As a rule, I'm pathetically grateful when someone dares to brave my creative grammar. Still, when an eager and helpful beta sends back some stuff with grammatical, stylistical and God knows what other errors highlighted in different colours, I'm seriously tempted to give up. It seems I'll never figure out what makes the dratted English language tick. *is depressed*
A somewhat useless day
