Writing update
Jun. 10th, 2014 08:17 pmI think I'm becoming addicted to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
comment_fic I look forward to the posts every weekday and try to write something most evenings when I'm free. Quite often I'll write a drabble, but if I can't contain what I want to write in 100 words then I'll write more. And of course if it's a one sentence or three sentence prompt then I'm already constrained by those requirement.
I've discovered the prompts have to be within certain parameters most of the time for me to respond. I rarely pick ones for "any" fandom, although The Penguin of Death was too good a prompt to miss out on. But it does mean I can produce something for fandoms that I wouldn't otherwise write for; yesterday was MASH, occasionally there's Life on Mars (which I no longer write for regularly) or Person of Interest, and I've also written for Winnie the Pooh, and The White Queen. And it provides the opportunity for me to write angst or crack and generally let my muse roam free. She generally returns, although at times I wonder what she's been taking whilst she was away.
In other news, I've finished the sequel to Legacy and it has gone for beta. I doubt it will be popular, but since it was a story I wrote for myself, that is all that matters to me.
And I really should start thinking about what I am going to write for the Lewis summer challenge. There are a couple of prompts which I vaguely like: one is that a young PC is murdered whilst undertaking routine enquires in relation to Lewis and Hathaway's recent case, with the question of how do Lewis, Hathaway and the rest of the team & station, deal with the slaying of one of their own? The other is simply a fic that is set in a garden. I'm not obliged to take any particular prompt, so I have to admit to be floundering a bit. It's a summer challenge so I would like to have some sort of summery theme. *Looks at muse, who is sitting in a straw hat with bucket and spade by her side.* Not much help there then.
