Sounds like burning
Mar. 22nd, 2006 12:28 pmHah. I wish. Although I've got this really cool foley effect in my timpanic membrane right now and everything sort of sounds like it's being recorded for a movie.
I'm also trying to scrounge up a history of Southeast Europe without having to do too much research since my estimate was for 10 hours of work, and we only need about 300 words of history. Oh how I wish I'd never agreed to this freelance gig. I suppose that just writing, "Greece rules, Everything else was just an afterthought" is neither accurate nore particularly nice. And those Balkan states sure have been problematic for a bunch of afterthoughts.

hesychasm's LJ and read her "Fandom Is" soliloquoy. It's fabulous. I'm particularly struck by the part about fandom allowing one to call oneself a writer. I think, if I'd gotten nothing else out of fandom, leaving aside the friendships, the support, the incredible thoughts and minds and generosity that I see everyday, generosity that's exhibited towards other fans, being able to lay claim to the title of writer would have almost been enough.
