Translated about a page today; not much, but I was distracted with crafting, baking a cake, talking to colleagues on the phone and other mundane things. Still, I'm content with the results.

Excerpt:

“Does it mean that no-one is at the comm station?”

“Not at the moment,” Sulu’s familiar, deep voice (quite surprising, coming from such a small, slim body) answered in Ilia’s stead. “No need to worry, though, sir. I’m keeping an eye on the emergency channels.”

Kirk closed his eyes and tried to lower his blood pressure by sheer willpower… with very poor results. “You have my unlimited trust, Mr. Sulu.”

“Thank you, Captain.”

Sulu is good that way. Well done!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Sulu absolutely rocks. I always loved him. Uhura is my all-time favourite, but I loved Sulu, too. And Scotty. *g*

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, poor Kirk! :)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Good.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I agree about Sulu's deep voice. I've always been amazed at that gorgeous deep voice.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It gives you the shivers... in the best possible way, doesn't it? I love deep male voices anyway.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Hee! I do too:)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I had another good day and finished up another of my one-sentence fics - 761 words this time.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

You are amazing, do you know that?

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I like writing. It's always been the constant in my life.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me, too. I wrote my first fully finished story at the age of 12. My classmates read it during lessons, until the maths teacher confiscated it. Then they petitioned him to give it back as not to ruin my career as a writer. *g*

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

I started writing when I was in the fourth grade, most Mary Sue ST stuff. Sigh. Good times!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

That's a long sentence!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It's not all one sentence. :D The challenge is that someone gives me a sentence and I work it into a fic somehow.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Wow, that is great! I'll look for it! I love the idea of one sentence.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It's still open if you want to participate. You can find it here (https://spikesgirl58.livejournal.com/3427316.html)

I thought I might get some decent writing done tonight, but somehow instead I ended up hauling lots of things out from under my bed to tidy them, and then I was exhausted. So just 101 words on Captain Cook, who I abandoned unfinished a while ago.

...having laid down the location of Dusky Bay on the first voyage, using the lunar distance technique, he was able to sail directly to it on the second voyage after spending 120 days out of sight of land.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Very good.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Hey, at least that' something and now you have a tidy under bed.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Good for you, getting some work in on the Captain Cook project.

I haven't been in the mood to write lately. I've been doing a couple of cleaning projects every day, though:)

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

No writing as such (maybe some ideas for my bunny pile) because it being my penultimate day at work forever - plus work dealing in the usual chaotic way with work from home arrangements (yes-no-maybe-somepeople-allpeople-nopeople) - plus trying the clear stuff and ensure I didn't leave any unexploded email bombs for my workmates - my brain decided to simply shut down except for "omigod-omigod-omigod tomorrow is IT"

I am therefore claiming one of those email bombs which I had to be extremely creative in figuratively dismantling counts as my writing for today.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yikes. {{{hugs}}}

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

hey, that only makes sense. Enjoy your last day at work!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

E-mail bombs???

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a crazy day! Hooray for your penultimate day! Your bunny pile is hopping in excitement for your first day of retirement:)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I got most of the section titles and a few paragraphs for my new essay.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Well done - titles are the hardest for me.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Really? Most of the time I find the title before I'd put down the first word. I find titles very inspiring.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Nope. Titles are usually the last thing for me.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

They can be hard. In this case it's mostly making sure I have everything I need in there and in the right places.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

That does sound like a challenge.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

I'm the one that finally posts something, and then I'll go, 'oh, I should have put ____ in there." lol

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I'm another one of those:)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh man. It sucks, doesn't it?

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I agree! I swear, all I have to do is hit the 'post' icon and I find an error:)

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

It's a tear when I read older fics and think, Aw, I should have done this or that. I've learned to leave them alone.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

Good progress, there. I like your method of deciding on the section titles established.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Thanks. For this one especially it was important so I could get everything in the right order.
