March 2019. Day 2

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Early post today because I'm not sure I'll be able to get to the computer in the evening.

Here is the place to tell us about your daily success (or the lack of it)!

May the magic be with us all!

And since I'm here already... I've managed to type up 4 pages from what I wrote the day before yesterday - and I promised you a snippet, didn't I?
It is from Chapter 22 of Kansas 2 - The Yellow Brick Road (https://archiveofourown.org/works/17671289/chapters/41678375), which is my ongoing Babylon 5/Star Trek: Voyager crossover; the second part of a trilogy, actually.

Excerpt:

“Can you or your Sisters be of assistance?” Delenn asked.

“No,” Zhalenn replied. “Even if we would allow any outsiders in the Temple, we currently have no strong mind-healers among us. It has been a dying art for centuries; to my knowledge none of the few Minbar still has would be strong enough to perform such a task.”

“Could more of them together do it?”

“I am sorry, Delenn; it does not work that way. This is a delicate and deeply personal process. The patient would block the invasion of multiple minds instinctively and flee to an even deeper coma – or to imminent death.”

“Is there nothing we can do to help, then?” Delenn insisted, still not willing to give up without a fight.

The priestess who had once given her life shook her head again. “Nothing that we can do, to my regret,” she emphasized. “But perhaps the Earth people can help. They have some very strong telepaths among them… even if they serve the other side.”

b5 is a fav of mine. so much to mine ideas-wise.

I'm trying to remember the Voyager characters, and which one would have been the strong telepath. It's been forever since I've seen it. Look forward to seeing you mix these universes.

Look at you go! You are leading by example!

:D

Nothing yet but I actually plan on doing nothing of consequence today since sometimes it lets my mind wander to a creative space 🙂

[ferretingabout.livejournal.com]

sounds epic!

[elmey.livejournal.com]

It's great when you can let your mind wander freely; look forward to seeing where it leads you :)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan to me!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

avast! today's offering about 500 words or so... can be found here: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqqrd1 (http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqqrd1) if anyone wants a read-y. if not, in summary today's offering was a spin on asimov's observations upon Gilbert Ryle's description of René Descartes' mind-body dualism. seemed appropriate for what's happening as part of the ongoing SL for this character.... also, there's a load of Japanese references in there to the kami....

as per usual in this type of creative thing, i've no idea where this will end up...

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Wow, very cool. Congrats! I hope that the pace keeps up for you!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Asimov is cool. And 500 words is fantastic progress!

[elmey.livejournal.com]

I read it! And it sounds like you're going somewhere quite strange... I like strange. I did chuckle a bit while reading, because as you can see in my post below, I've been thinking about animated straw brooms--but of course in terms of the ridiculous rather than the sublime :D

Got stuck (almost) finishing a writing assignment yesterday--I'm winding down my work and not taking new assignments. But this was a favor, it seemed simple: copy editing and proofing for a new website, and of course I ended up having to do a lot of re-writing... anyway they're paying and I'm almost done.

Still looking for the right prompt for my Easter story. There's one that's so ridiculously bad , I mean really unusable, that I've been thinking about grabbing it and turning it into a tongue-in-cheek epic (short epic) poem based on "Der Zauberlehrling" (Sorcerer's Apprentice). I dunno though, maybe I'd better sleep on it, this could just be a result of cabin fever. Where is my spring????? We're supposed to get snow tomorrow.

Off to get groceries now, progress report tomorrow.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Isn't that the way it always is? You think it's going to be easy and it turns into an epic task.

Good luck with your Easter prompt.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

I'd be love to see that Zauberlehrling-inspired poem come to life. *g*

[rhodielady-47.livejournal.com]

I'm all uptight and tense about the snow we're supposed to get Sunday too.
It's made me think of something to write about though.
So what are you planning on cooking once you're safely back home? I'll put it into my story...
:^)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I had a pretty okay day. I was cooking along, over 700 words, then I realized that the assignment has a word count limit. Sigh... I need to go back and retool the prompt into something shorter and sweeter while keeping the other intact. 200 words on that one, so a pretty good day, all in all. And now, PIZZA!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It is annoying when you've done so well and then have to change the results. Drat. Good luck with the retooling.

[ferretingabout.livejournal.com]

we get pizza?

[elmey.livejournal.com]

If you're working on Easter Eggs, I honestly don't think anyone cares if you go over the suggested limit. At least I hope they don't care because I almost always go over!

I have really been quite productive today - I've bought a new tablet and tried on lots of waterproof shoes and posted a parcel, and I've cast on and started off a new knitting project which has six colours all joined on at once. But what I have not done so far is written a single word...

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

There is always tomorrow. And you truly had a productive day.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I wrote some notes for work. That's it. :)

[ylla.livejournal.com]

But that is very useful.

I spent much of my free time on the 1st thinking about things to write...

But on the 2nd I began something. None of the things I might have expected, but a re-telling of the story of Joseph from the Bible, following on from a talk with the manager of the tiny Christian Bookshop where I volunteer.

OK - it got to about 250 words - but I am actually really pleased with it.
