It keeps being unusually warm for the season; it's almost Autumn Equinox, and today, once the morning rain cleared up, we had about 20°C, which is not normal Finnish weather for this time. But at least more leaves are turning yellow. Also, the weekend's supposed to be cooler. And with partly cloudy and partly clear days, there are some beautiful evening skies. I went for a walk in the evening around sunset time, and there were clouds the colour of bluebells, almost, and the higher clouds behind them streaked with pale orange and rosy glow.

Today's Writing

I finished editing my short ficlet and sent it out to beta.

I'd slept poorly so I didn't really mean to try to write anything else. But I've been listening to various Big Finish Doctor Who audios lately, and today I listened to a Short Trip (a short story narrated by someone, in this case a cast member, but not acted out by a full cast) that strung unexpectedly emotional cords with me. It gave me a story I wanted to write. in the evening, I thought I'd write out the beginning so I would remember to return to it later...

... And then 1-1.5 hours later I look at my 2K word count and think, hmm, I'd like to finish the story now, but I seriously need something to eat and I also probably really really need to sleep.

I guess that story is really wanting to get written!

Wow, congrats, that's some amazing writing! Sometimes a story really does want to be written RIGHT NOW, and it's such a great feeling when that happens. :D

The forecast says summer is officially over here, now. It was 29° this afternoon, but now it's raining, there's supposed to be a storm over the weekend, and Monday apparently won't rise above 15° C. Going to pre-emptively search for a blanket ...

Writing-wise, still the same for me: playing with my origfic idea. I have at most one week left until I serioulsy need to start making progress on deadline-related stuff again ...

Yep, sometimes stories want to be written, paying no attention to whether you need to eat or sleep! It's great when that happens.

It's back to summer here, too! It's not that unusual for September to have a mini heat wave, but still. I'm tired of the heat. At least the evenings and mornings are cool.

Today everything I wanted to do was derailed by my phone going on the fritz. It just got worse and worse, and I finally had to do a factory reset, sigh. But that seems to have fixed it. Cross fingers.

So I didn't work much on the nonfiction project, and since technology had irritated the stuffing out of me, I did some hand-written pages -- some clustering and notes, just generally noodling. It was soothing, if nothing else!

It's wonderful when you get on a roll with writing.

I wrote on the 21st, introducing a whole new minor character I hadn't expected!

Isn't it wonderful when a story wants and needs to be told so urgently that it just flows out of you, almost without your volition? I love that feeling; it's one of my very favorite things!

I wrote 784 on the Thor/Loki fairy tale tonight.

I wrote some pages in the meeting but didn't feel well enough to type them in.

It beat paying attention to a 45 minute argument about WHEN these meetings should actually take place
