Quick poll

[Poll #1633332]In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY [livejournal.com profile] samena  and [livejournal.com profile] eanelinea77 ! May your days be excellent and filled with visits from the gift fairies and cake pixies!

And if anyone else out there is out of their tiny little minds with overwork: Agatha Christie, complex geometry, red lip gloss and slightly complicated knitting are all decent stopgaps until your brain has time to recover. One week, and I will be off having an adventure with no one expecting me to rescue anyone else's demented prose! If I am tremendously dilligent, I can even get a good lot of writing done and be a step closer to never editing again.

Well, never editing anything not written by friends or interesting fandom people, at any rate ...

I feel conflicted because I really don't like present tense in fic, but if it's what you're comfortable and happy with, then you should totally do it. Is it for fic? Or something else? I find it far easier to read in non-fic situations, for some reason. Though, some people really don't care or notice much.

For fic. And I tend not to like present-tense, though the whole Sins and Fathers sequence is in it for reasons that made sense at the time I started them. It's one of those things that is enormously easy to do for a bit, and then tends to fall apart in my hands. John Updike's are FAR more capable!
