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.”

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

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...

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

sounds epic!

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.

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.

[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]

Look at you go! You are leading by example!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan to me!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

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!

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]

Well, there is Kes, of course, although they got rid of her way too early. I brought her back in this AU. And there is Tuvok, their resident Vulcan - the one they need to find help for in this case.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Haha, I can't expect people to do what I'm not doing myself, right?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Asimov is cool. And 500 words is fantastic progress!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

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

B5 is a very cool show indeed. Even though JMS had to mess it up at the end. The end of the Shadow War was woefully anticlimactic; something I intend to change in this AU.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Leading by example is always the best way.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It's okay. I'm getting two stories out of one.

[ferretingabout.livejournal.com]

don't even get me started about the shadow war!
