Ok I skipped a day

Yesterday I skipped a post. So sue me. I had to actually spend some real life time doing,well, housework. This time next year I swear I will have a maid come once a week. Just need to sell my VA home (and kick my son out of it first).

Today that same son is coming for a visit. Hence, the house cleaning. Well one thing that happens when I am busy with mundane tasks, is my creative problem solving brain goes into second gear. I stopped cleaning and started typing and finished the scene for chapter 22. Of course it needs work but after attempting 6 times before this time I am satisfied with the flow.

I will send chapter 22 to steph, and find out when Debra will get chapter 18 back to me. I need to post this weekend so time is short. I will post and edit later if need be.

next up cleaning up chapter 24. that may take a week by itself. good thing I work ahead.

the only story i am following right now is Meg's. I cannot concentrate on two many stories.

i am mulling over (geesh seems like i have typed mulling over too often lately) a new story. I may draft an outline for Mischa to look over. She has reminded me that I suggested I would do a story using the unknown words appearing on the site from when AHA was broke. I kept them and will try to come up with a short story - maybe 8 chapters. It will be a modern story and DArcy owns a large company where one of the divisions is the ISP where AHA is hosted. Elizabeth is the owner of AHA (well, I will change the name to something else) and DArcy makes some remark about not worrying about some stupid woman's website. of course that is the key to the misunderstanding. chapter 1 the misunderstanding; chapter 2 the meeting; chapter 3 he stares; chapter 4; she hates him; chapter 5 he asks her out, she refuses; ;chapter 6 they go their own way for a while but neither one forgets the other; chapter 7 they met up at a internet trade show; chapter 8 they get together again. simple plot but in 25000 words or less it is doable. Of course I can inject wickham as a rival company; caroline as the head of a rival fan fiction site; and georgiana as darcy's sister that reads the sites. maybe 10 chapters. Of course there can be out and out warfare between the two rival fanfic sites. Each one challenging the other to do better.

well, off to wash clothes, clean bathrooms, bag up the trash and take to the dump (sorry, recycle center) and pick up some ice cream to go with my son's favorite cherry pie which is sitting on my counter.

till the next time!
