trinityofone•Does anybody know a good place to find/translate Czech phrases? I need a couple of Czech prayers for Zelenka to say. Where oh where is my babble fish?
•The problem with having written a 25,000 word story is that you then have to edit a 25,000 word story.
•A little scene from the other night:
Trin is walking up a large hill with her parents to view 4th of July fireworks. There have been several other hills prior to this.
Trin's Dad: *feeling the burn* Oh, good--more butt action!
Trin & Trin's Mom: *look at each other* *burst out laughing*
Later that same night, my mom was also heard saying, "Wow! Look at those enormous balls!" (She was talking about huge globular flowers.)
•A little scene from this morning:
Trin's Mom puts the kettle on and then disappears. It starts to whistle desperately. Trin runs across the house like a huge dork and shuts it off.
Trin's Dad: Wow! You could be a firefighter.
Trin: Heh. Firefighter AU.
Trin's Dad: Huh?
Trin: Uh...there was an episode of SG-1 where they were all firefighters.
Trin's Dad: Has there been an accountant AU? There should be an accountant AU.
Trin: *starts picturing John as the kind of lazy, effortlessly good with numbers accountant, and Rodney as the uptight, frenzied, brilliant accountant, and they make mad accountant love*
Trin's Dad: And they should all be named Morris.
Trin: I hate you.
•I just wrote copy about La Toya Jackson. My life is surreal.

That describes my job perfectly. *nods*
...Any story notes yet? Sorry to prod!

Date: 2006-07-06 05:36 pm (UTC)and god, just woke up...
...biggest note? I totally don't get John's motivation or emotions. And I get that he's a little mysterious... but by the time he rolls over ontop of Rodney... there's just not enough to not make that creepy and faintly Brokeback Mountainy... which doesn't work because Rodney himself hasn't really thought/felt/realized it yet.
So it's totally out of nowhere.
*props you up* Remember, not the end of the world.

Date: 2006-07-06 05:41 pm (UTC)It actually is supposed to be kind of creepy (and Brokeback Mountainy! Hee!) but I am possibly not conveying it in the right way. Can we talk more in e-mail?

Date: 2006-07-06 05:44 pm (UTC)eh, I should be waking up a bit earlier, but all that physical activity, plus last nights late night porn fest threw me. Achy legs make me sleep ickier and longer.

Date: 2006-07-06 05:37 pm (UTC)I'm not exactly sure if this what you're looking for, but I've used this in the past. And I think "Fun Czech Phrases!" is hilarious, for some reason. :-)

The problem with having written a 25,000 story is that you then have to edit a 25,000 word story.
*sighs* So true. For the last five months, I've been trying to edit a 23.000 word story that took me three weeks to write.

Date: 2006-07-06 06:46 pm (UTC)And yeah, editing. Ami and I are going through the same thing with out 70,000 word behemoth. But still, I hope you finish soon, 'cause I want to read it!

Date: 2006-07-06 07:03 pm (UTC)So by now I'm stuck with a monster that doesn't even resemble the first version much anymore it's been rewritten so much, and it feels kind of like three different stories smudged into one, with bumps and cracks where the edges didn't quite match.
Also, it was written several months ago, and I improved enough during that time that I cringe at parts of it.
On top of that, one of my betas has a newborn baby, one has a really hard time at work, one has a really hard time privately, and with one I totally didn't manage to reply to both her emails in time because I was feeling depressed, and now I feel kind of embarrassed about asking her again.

Date: 2006-07-06 08:02 pm (UTC)There should be a challenge. Just, get all the SGA authors, sit them in a room, and make them write EVERY AU possible. Get over with. Not like it won't happen eventually anyway.
Everyone is listening to "John the Revelator". It's weird.

Us, wathing the shuttle this weekend:
me *watching Space Shuttle sitting on launch pad*: Seriously! Is this the best we can do? Hope shit doesn't fall off and smack us in the face? NASA have got to all be stoned! This is the equivalent of driving cross country in a '78 Cutlass with a cracked block and bailin' wire holding the muffler on!
