Ahem.

I am on what could be Day 13 of a streak of writing at least 750 words every day, thanks to 750words.com - apparently all I needed was a sticker chart and some funny statistics! Hooray, positive reinforcement for nerds. (Every day it analyzes my writing and two days out of three it tells me my writing is mainly concerned with Death. Including the time I was writing about The Doctor cuddling a baby while chatting with Rose. IDEK.)

Anyway, the downside of this new spate of writing arrived last night, on Day 12, when I realized that this seems to accelerate the rate at which I write myself into a corner/decide everything I am writing is a terrible idea/come up with even more terrible ideas I could be writing instead.

Poll #3017 I'm not really writing it, I swear. I mean, I'd have to figure out about the NEWTs.

Post-war mostly-epilogue-compliant Sirius/Neville with a lot of cuddles and practically no talking about feelings ever. (A little resurrection from the dead, a little combat fatigue.)

If their names were Stan Brown and Neal Littlefield, that would be completely legal AND moral.

Clearly you have been really, really bored at work this week.

Well... okay, maybe it is a little strange. But hey, I'll read pretty much anything if you write it, and god knows I've read stranger.

Also yay! Thanks for the link to 750words.com! I am such a sucker for widgets that tell me to write things. I would totally never have finished my undergrad if it weren't for Write or Die. So yeah. Can't wait to try this out.

See, I am terrified of Write or Die, but I adore 750words because apparently I am that much of a sucker for automated positive reinforcement. :)

And thanks for the vote of some confidence on the story. *g*
