While packing up books from the old house, I came across a fanzine from the mid nineties. It's called "A Touch of Forever" and has contributions from me of poetry as well as fiction. The quality of my writing was pretty much all over the place, although I do like some of the language I used. However, I'm much better at dialogue these days. It makes me cringe, to be honest, when I read some of the dialogue between Nick and LaCroix.
I may transfer some of the fiction here, after some revision.
I remember how it was, writing in those days. I was being a stay at home wife (until bills forced me to take work) and I had a writing routine. I actually had it scheduled to write a minimum of two hours every morning and then a little more in the evenings, when inspiration struck. And it struck often in those days. I was very passionate about Forever Knight. I wouldn't have a fandom I was as excited about until TPM. Although with TPM, I left several stories unfinished, to my everlasting shame.
I'm a lazy writer. But I write nearly every day, due to the influence of a very good friend. And over the years we have written some things of which I've been really proud. But all of it RPS, which I keep strictly separate from this journal.
I want to write something on my own, see if I can keep the momentum going if I don't have another person poking me for more bits. But, and this is a huuuuge freaking but, I don't have a single bouncing bunny assaulting me. I kind of have my eye on the SGA fandom, but to be quite honest, there is so much very good fiction being written there, I can't imagine what I'd contribute. Except, well, I hear Katie Brown in my head. Sweet little Katie doting on Rodney, but kicking his ass with her sweet nature and steel spine. My Katie is soft spoken, and knows her worth.
Usually I write slash, but this character is appealing to me in a way I rather find mystifying. But I like that the first character in a long time to get those solo writerly juices flowing is a strong female muse. I just hope my lazy nature lets me actually get something on page about her.
And since I'm a contrary beast, I shall use a McShep icon, because that's what I mostly read, these days.
