Daily life

I'm back from a family visit in Maine. The eight-hour drive was a little wearing, but I happened to pick the best day weather-wise for returning.

I barely managed any internet time, just enough to check email, a quick pop by DW, and... guiltily, didn't get any words written for my FTH fic.

I signed up for [community profile] unconventionalcourtship too. This is one of my favorite challenges. I'm a little bit desperate for ideas. I may just have to go to the library and start reading the romance summaries. Yes. I have done this before.

I like this one:


Responding to a crime scene, Corporal Gardner Fairhurst John Sheppard is shocked to find his rebellious teenage niece shoplifting. He’s been Sammy’s guardian ever since her mother—his sister Dani father- his brother Dave—went missing. But rather than press charges, bakery manager Lia Rodney offers Sammy a job.

The only drawback is - this wants to be a bigger story than I have time to write. But if anyone else wants to use this idea, Go For it!

Weeks #544-548: "puzzle" and/or "echo" is open!

Look at that - actually inspired by an SGA episode. Okay, not puzzle, but echo because Season 3, Episode 12 was called "Echoes".  So you can take these prompts any way you'd like.  Maybe John likes to do puzzles in his downtime, and one of the puzzles he does gives him a clue about Rodney or Elizabeth or Carson. Maybe two adjacent crossword clues are "kiss" and "her" (John/Elizabeth) or maybe the clues reveal "love" and "you" and "always"?  As for echo or echoes, you have a couple different ways of tackling something.  First, you could write how Ronon likes to track people by listening to the echo of their footfalls in the hallway. Or maybe Lorne is trapped on a planet, freaks out, and screams so loud that he's sure his voice is echoing off the walls of his prison.  

But there's another way to take this, and that's after the Echoes episode itself! Maybe you write a little scene that's missing from Echoes - John and Rodney in the infirmary because of busted eardrums. Or maybe because of said busted eardrum, Rodney's muttering too loud and people can finally understand his usual under-breath mumblings.

However you'd like to approach it, you've got five weeks this time.  And don't forget to leave or take a prompt in our ongoing promptfest!

Why This Must Be Read: An amusing tale where yet again Rodney accidentally activates an Ancient machine on Atlantis. On this occasion it duplicates him. This of course leads to great consternation and a lot of snark and argument between the Rodneys. Eventually, Radek and the linguists figure out the machine's purpose, and John finally gets rewarded after a very trying day. A fun romp!
This is by the author of "I, Rodney" in which Rodney's an android. You can check that one out at the LJ link above.

do you dream in color?

abstract map of brain

Do you remember your dreams?

Has a dream ever led to a story idea?

When I remember my dreams there is usually a splash of color somewhere in it but the entire dream might not be in color.

And yes. I've written more than one story based off a dream.
