So we’re doing Romeo and

October 9th, 2002 · No Comments

So we’re doing Romeo and Juliet in Shakespeare (joy.), and today we got a rather funny little maze: “Help Juliet find her true love by following the words of the balcony scene!” If you took a wrong turn, you ended up with wrong words. Here are a few of my favorites: O Romeo, Romeo, What […]

If I wasn’t a really

October 8th, 2002 · No Comments

If I wasn’t a really good Mormon girl, I’d be swearing right now. For several reasons. First, I saw James today. Ate lunch with him, in fact. I had just gotten off work, and was walking down the stairs, telling myself that I was going to write him an e-mail saying goodbye forever (since he […]

Well, that was cool. I just checked my e-mail, and found a message from Emily Bytheway! Apparently she found the blog doing a Google search. She’s an HP fan (yay!) and read my fic, and everything. I just sent her an e-mail back, but I’d like to say welcome to the blog! Check out the […]

October 2nd, 2002 · No Comments

I’m now up on FA– in the Astronomy Tower. I’ve already got 2 reviews there. They’re both really short, and not very helpful, but gratifying nonetheless. However, a recent rash of new uploads on SQ has knocked me off the “Recently Updated” list (thanks a lot, Elizabeth ). So ends my day in the sun […]

October 2nd, 2002 · No Comments

Adventures in Fanfic Well, it’s been an interesting couple of days. RJA reviewed my fic. She didn’t like it. *cries* She said I did more “telling” than “showing”, which is true. But how can you “show” someone’s complex inner thoughts? I felt that the part where I needed to get across without looking deep into […]
