intro finished, wow and whee! :-) :-) :-)

I went to bed too late, staring at SGA eps on my laptop and writing Cadman fic so I woke up bleary-eyed and zonk-brained. Still, I struggled up to my loft desk, set my timer and started typing, because as Flylady says, routines are everything not an achieved task.

And just now I finished my Introduction! It's not the final draft so it needs some editing and some clipping, but I re-read the final paragraphs and, if I say so myself, they are fantastic. I am so pleased with them! My heart is beating with excitement: I've got this thing licked. I made grand pronouncements, I adduced examples, I argued for my position, I argued for a balanced assessment, and I am being totally radical and saying something I've never read elsewhere.

*grins inanely*

Well. It just feels fabulous now and again to do something that is not angst- or guilt-ridden or riddled with diffidence and then just to go and post about it, Rodney McKay "I am the best" style. :-)

This means I can go into the Easter break with a view to tackling Chapter One thereafter.

My anchor image for the Introduction is ( this picture )

Some of you may remember me posting an analysis of this picture two years or so ago. :-)

Ah, now for a well-deserved break. My god, I have been tying for 2 1/2 hours solid. I need a) water, b) one of the delicious mince-meat-filled capsicums (peppers) I cooked the other night, c) a dosage of SGA.

And the sun is shining!!! Whoops, that should go in a weather post.

beta?

Is there anybody out there happy to beta a quickie fic of around 7 pages, 2,500 words, SGA, Sheppard/McKay??
