I threw an old fan out yesterday. Within minutes one of the people on our estate knocked on the door asking if she could have it. So I told her that it didn't work, that it didn't have a guard over the blades and the feet were wobbly. Really not safe at all. This morning I woke up, let the dog in the garden and discovered someone had been in the garden and took it. Which while I'm not mad that it's gone, I am sick of people coming into the garden and taking things. I mean, we didn't go to bed until one, were up at seven so they must have been sneaking around in the middle of the night. I just hope they don't mangle their fingers.

The two stories I'm working on? I'm about to chop a load of words from one of them. The story needs it though and once I've added the new stuff it'll be much stronger. But still....

I tell you, the adrenaline rush of working on fic that's due in the matter of days, you can't beat it.

I've fallen in love with Panic performing The Weight. So much love, seriously.

ETA: Downloads for the song plus Nine in the Afternoon and I Write Sins mp3s in comments.

And that's all I have.

I hate to cut words - it's like every word I write is golden and how can I possibly get rid of them? In the way that it's not, of course.

Yes, just a few days left to finish a story is always very exciting.

I had to cut nearly 3,000 this morning. I could make a story out of those, okay, a bad story but a story all the same.

But it was the right thing to do, and I'm glad I've got people that will say, you know that sort of sucks and makes no sense.

I suspect all fic writers say that, so when it's the night before deadline, you're on coffee number 78992632 and still have many many words to go you can say, it's fun really *g*
