Reading and Writing, October 18

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 17 of 19 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

So I did an incredibly poor job of reading nada before writing. Alas! I'm beginning to feel a little fraudulent, but I wonder if I'm just tired. I'm on a cleanse and the weather's changing and I'm working on another longer piece that's plot-driven, a sure recipe for forcing myself to slow down. It's intensely not my strong point. Plot-driven, that is.

But I did get something written today. A crossovery bit of fanfic. There goes 415 words.

Thinking out loud here: I think the problem is that while I got off to a good foot on this Justus story, it was unintentional and I'm having a hard time working it with canon and I hadn't the clue where I was starting, let alone where I was headed. I think I'm going to scrap and redraft. This is a very scary thought.

I could always stop, drop, and write about kittens. I've got two clans, the grammatical and the errata. And then there's Popcorn. It gets messy.

Lol.

Kittens and Popcorn!

Um...

Right. Yeah. Sorry. That's not helpful at all.

LOL No, not particularly.

There are no explanations for things like this...

"What is this mystical substance?" the kitten asked, sniffing at the bowl. His nose touched the yellow on the kernel and he jumped back.

"Popcorn."

"I have heard stories about that. Popcorn. The humans seem to enjoy it."

"It seems... salty."

"Not always. Sometimes it's sweet."

The kitten batted a piece out of the bowl. "Can we have both?"

"Only if you do your homework."

Very cute.

Of course, your original idea was for a kitten named Popcorn and it just didn't fit the pattern. :grins: But this is positively adorable!

Kittens and popcorn... it was impossible to resist. I meant to get some of that typo army tale going, but Fracture and Recall distracted me.
