hp and faff

It was very pleasant to see lazlet and blythely in London yesterday, and especially nice to meet birdgerhl! I also did 'research', yes, hah, including taking a photo of Draco's attic on Wardour Street, I'll upload it once I figure out how.

Now birdgerhl put this idea in my head, of setting up an alternate journal to post snippets and ramblings about fic to. In my case, to post snippets and ramblings about the HP opus, of course. I thought maybe this would motivate me (as my cry for 'alpha' readers the other day) and give me a kick in the bum because writing longfic is such a lonely business. Do you think this would be a good idea? Is there anyone out there who'd be interested in even reading such rambling nonsense? And spoilering themselves for the fic to come? I know that ukcalico tends to think it's a bad idea to post too early, that this leads to regrets on one's own behalf. O god, *tears hair out*!!

I am reading Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go. It is very gripping so far and also ominous. I fear it may end horribly.

T'h thinks LJ is taking over my life and I am too obsessed. Is this true? I think he's just noticing it more because now I'm not hidden away in my loft upstairs but downstairs in full view of all with my ibook. But it's true, I have been posting more.

Maybe I shouldn't set up a fic journal. Maybe I should spend my energy just writing the stupid thing and, if I need to vent, to do it in an eye-locked post to myself. It's too confusing having several journals, anyway. I tried it, and my brain's too small.

Anyway, apparently people have commented on past posts so I must go and have a look. *feels tired due to train home from King's Cross being delayed for close to an hour because 'there's a person wandering about the rails near Royston'*
