Brammers is quiet ...

[blamebrampton]

I came back from Italy feeling a little unwell and proceeded to languish about (in the manner of a Puccini (or SMeyer) heroine). Which has led to my hd_hols fic being late (in the manner of a contemporary Italian train). Happily, the mods are kind (in the manner of Enid Blyton mothers).  Unhappily, I have lost my mind (in the manner of someone striding through San Francisco declaring they are Napoleon).

Last night's writing saw me spend half an hour trying to remember the name of a brand of watch (then changed my mind about including it), twenty minutes unable to recall how to spell the word perambulate (since edited out), and then I had to dig out a map to work out the broom flying times from London to Brighton (whole scene since deleted).

I grew up in East Sussex and London, am an editor, and once worked on a specialist horology magazine. If you don't hear from me for the next week or so, it's because I am poring through books trying to recall the name of that red-haired wizard who's good friends with the dark-haired one, whatsisface.

The mods are very, very kind. And dead sexy.

You don't what a relief it is to read your post, and yes, the hd_holiday mods are kindness personified. I take comfort from the fact that you have not yet forgotten the white-blond wizard's name, something Dee or whatever.

If you've tackled the broom-flighing time, I'd be interested in the results. And perhaps then we can discuss the question of where exactly may be the Malfoy's continental estates.

Hope you're feeling better, hon.

Hee! I've missed your lovely and amusing posts. <3

*sits next to you and laments on the lateness of her own hd_hols fic*

On the plus side, I think I finished it yesterday. Am letting it sit - have a final read-through and then tossing to the mods, at which time my wibbling begins in earnest.

*hugs and hope you're better soon*

*sends you creative vibes*

I'm so happy to see you post again. Hope you feel better, and your story comes together. *vibes again*

Oh btw, because I am dumb, I saw "horology magazine" and thought, "Is that a zine about whores, or for them? Better google it." *breathes thru mouth*

*HUGS* I know that feeling oh too well! lol

Can you and I share a room at the Funny Farm? I hear it saves on cost and we can help each other keep track of our meds ;)

But seriously. Feel better, and what did you tell me once? The brain is a mercurial but resilient little fellow.

What is with the creativity drain this year? Everyone is struggling. I had to wrestle my hols fic into submission (I only partially succeeded *sigh*) and now my llnm fic (for alaana_fair who is also very, very kind and dead sexy) is kicking my ass. It just will not be written! I wrote 8 fest fics this year. Next year I'm doing 1 or 2 tops. It's too much. I love festing - it's so fun!! - but I think I need more breathing room to do anything decent. Besides 2009 is reserved for finishing CDT, dammit!

Also, YOU! You and your musical fic! I've had send in the clowns stuck in my head since you posted and you know, I don't like that song very much!

It's nice to see you posting, though - I've missed you, bb!!

Nice to have you back, although you seem to have developed some cracks in the course of your travels. :o) Particularly if Dumbledore: the Musical is anything to go by. (High on a hill sat a lonely goatherd, indeed.)

Hope you are feeling better soon. *hugs you well*

*giggles* I missed your posts! ♥

I'm curious as to how one works out broom flying time.
Seems like a very necessary skill.

That day I forgot the name of my current and only office-mate for three years. :) My brain is completely shot these days too. I have a Pensieve, I think, but I forgot what I put it ... when I find it I'll share it with you ♥

I may possibly adore you. It's not scary creepy, well, not really. Just thought it deserved a mention.

♥


ps. your name may or may not have come up a few times last Sunday between Push and I. >.> It was all good, I promise you.
