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.”

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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*

You are amazing, do you know that?

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.

That's a long sentence!

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, poor Kirk! :)

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]

Good.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Very good.

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yikes. {{{hugs}}}

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

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

[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.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

Well done - titles are the hardest for me.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

E-mail bombs???

[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.

[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]

Nope. Titles are usually the last thing for me.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

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

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

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

[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:)

[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:)

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

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

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

I'm another one of those:)

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

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

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Oh man. It sucks, doesn't it?

[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.

[spikesgirl58.livejournal.com]

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

[adafrog.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[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:)

[akane42me.livejournal.com]

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