I :heart: My Keyboard Again

[anogete]

I'm writing again. What? Can this be? Well, I did write that Snape/Hermione fic for the SS/HG Exchange, but that was under duress since I volunteered to pinch hit before I could stop myself. I like the way it turned out, but I nearly went mad with worry over the week that I did write it.

Anyway, Tin Man fic is falling out of my head. Or out of my fingertips. After a false start which I scrapped on Saturday night, I began anew on Sunday afternoon. It's already up to 8,000 words. How did that happen? Typically, I write way slower.

I found a little tea shop a couple miles from my apartment, and I've spent $60 there since Friday. They have a wonderful selection of loose leaf tea, though. I've already had three cups today.

Has anyone read Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising sequence? I have the first three novels in it, and I'm anxious to begin the first (Over Sea, Under Stone). Will I love it or hate it?

I know I loved it, but make sure you NEVER EVER see the movie that came out last summer. It'll make you lose faith in humanity.

The movie came and went without much of a fuss that I thought it was still due-to-be-released in the theaters. After looking up the info on it, I realized how bad it must have been. So, I'm going to stay away from it just like I stayed away from the Sci-Fi miniseries for Earthsea.

Yeah I recommend you avoid that one at all costs. My mom watched it (she LOVES earthsea) and it made her almost cry it was so bad. They completely butchered Susan Cooper's books

Oh, writing again, that's wonderful. Maybe there is hope for me.

those were some of my favorite books as a child. i thought the movie was okay... if you step back and suspend your belief that the movie should have anything remotely to do withthe book.


my husband who didn't read the books liked the movie. all i can really say is that someone waved the idea of the book in the general direction of the movie that's about all it had to do with the books.
