check-in day 30

[lilly_c]

Phone post for today and really early too, because I'm on the road and I've been awake for far too long (would rather be in my bed).

How's it going for everyone today?

today has been?
*brilliant
*good
*average
*not at all

what have you got done?
*writing
*editing
*off to beta
*posting
*research
*having a break


I'm a little into a 10 hour coach journey and they are not fun, also it's baltic on this coach. Discussion topic: what are some of your favourite lines, scenes etc from the fics that you've written? It doesn't have to be from a new/recent piece it can be an old piece.


Of course it's friday so feel free to share snippets, ask for a beta, chat amongst yourselfs etc :)

also it's baltic on this coach

What does that mean?

[linaewen]

The predominant people group present as passengers, perhaps? Just guessing!

[littlebutfierce]

Hm, yeah -- I just don't see how it's relevant to the quality of the coach journey, I guess... ?

[linaewen]

It might be if you don't speak their language and that's all you hear the whole trip. Not necessarily a non-quality coach journey, but it could get tiresome!

[linaewen]

By way of explanation, I've traveled in trains where spoken English has been in the minority, and it does wear you out, even if everything else it just peachy!

[littlebutfierce]

It doesn't wear me out if people speak their own languages.

[linaewen]

That's great! :-)

Having read the whole thread, I feel the need to say that baltic is slang in Scotland for freezing cold.

[littlebutfierce]

AHAHAHAHA that is amazing. Thank you for the information.

[linaewen]

That actually makes tons of sense! That will teach me. Next time I'll not do any guessing and just wait for the explanation. ;-)

And since I'm here, I might as well update on how my day of writing went. The voice begging me to clean the house actually won, so no writing has happened. Yet. Maybe I'll feel more inspired with less clutter about me...

*hopes*

Cold, perhaps. As in the Baltic Sea is cold.
