Brainstorming Over Quesadillas
Lunch w/Nick, who is in the office with me today. I didn't ask the boss if N could come for the day...but he (boss) doesn't care. In fact, accused me of not being nice to N! LOL. Always nice!!!! If only boss knew how spoiled N is! Really! (And I just noticed Nick is SPYING on me as I write this--peering over my shoulder--STOP THAT!)
We went to lunch across the street at Buffalo Wings & Rings. New place, still smells like paint, lots of variety food-wise...and no customers. Obviously, they need to get the word out to the Railroad that they are open. I love their chicken tenders, but we had a gyro quesadilla appetizer for two. Lots of onions. Break out the gum.
After going to Starbucks and purchasing a triple shot venti vanilla latte for Nick (who has moaned all morning about lack of caffeinated energy) we're back in the office...birthday cake and ice cream at 1:30. Woo!
In addition to the original fic writing, the nano-non-nanowriting, the TW fic exchange thing...I'm going to write, more for get-the-writerly-blood-flowing benefits than anything, a series of TW Andy-centric fics. Nick and I brainstormed a setup at lunch today (okay Nick said, "Do this!" and I said, "Yes! GREAT!"). Now my fingers are itchy to get started. LOL.
First though--Killer Scene Must Be Written for the above exchange-thingy...and then one more, the wrap-up scene after that, and done. YAY! Me, with a Ianto/Jack fic? Crazy. A leetle one, ending up around 8,000-9,000 words, I think. I've not written anything like this before (action scene!) and it is alot of fun. I normally hate canoncanoncanon but TW has lots of leeway and room to rumble. Still, I look very forward to concentrating on the side character for my little writing exercises. (Especially given this character is, actually, who I am using as my protagonist in an original fic, so...double the fun).
Okay sigh okay fine lunch hour over (lol) I guess I have to be good. This has been a weird week at work--struggling to find things to do and with having to account for every single hour--billable hours here--it sucks.

Only in Texas.
I am always amazed at how many projects you juggle when I can barely manage to squeeze time in for one. I'd love to write that Angela Petrelli / Benjamin Linus fanfic (Heroes meets Lost) but beyond not really having a plot, I also can't see spending that time on that when there's Ambergrin and this year's Halloween story ....

Oh it just sounds like a lot--it is mostly talking about it at the moment. I'm getting there. :)
Ambergrin! And yes, HALLOWEEEN!!!
