Writing and some Heroes
The books are watching me. As I sit, a humongous pile of unread history books stands less than two feet from my chair, quilting me with its unshrinking presence. Perhaps if I stare at it long enough I shall automatically absorb the information into my brain. *stares* Damnit, it's not working.
I seem to have accidentally called one of my characters Charlie Browne, not remembering the other Charlie Brown as I had not sounded the whole name together until two hours later when it smacked me upside the head. Hast surname changing ensued. I don't know how that happened. I have the sudden urge to call someone Snoopy.
Heroes was good. Certain things are making the OTP fangirl in me not so happy, which makes me extra uncomfortable since I really like Emma and her and Peter are really cute together, but Plaude really has become one of those pairings for me where I really can't picture the characters with other people without it feeling like a puzzle piece jammed where it doesn't belong. Thankfully, this doesn't happen to me very often, but this would be one of those times when it's really bad. *sigh* It just figures that when Heroes decides to develop a relationship organically, and in a cutesy manner to boot, I can't enjoy it.
Which is the reason why I'm back to original fic. The entire time those two were onscreen, my novel kept flashing through my mind. My characters with whom I can do whatever I want, and if I say something is true love, then it is and there's no one to gainsay me. *hugs characters* It is very comforting. Even if they do insist on falling in love with the wrong people and stringing out what were meant to be short plots into gargantuan messes that I have to clean up later.
Oh, I read Zero at the Bone. It's awesome. The only reason it took me four days to read it was because of my novel writing and I still can't believe it took me that long because I had to pry it lose from my hands. So good.
Milo looked absolutely gorgeous in that Liberty Mutual commercial. I just felt like saying that again.

That's one reason why I love original fiction too, especially when my own shows are bothering me. With my characters, I can do whatever I want! They are an awesome thing to have.
I'm so happy you read it! That book is addictive like nobody's business. Somehow I didn't pick up on the Plaude-like connotations (can't believe I didn't, actually), but it's totally in there. Now I want to do a second read with CE in my head as D. :) Yay for book recs!

*pets children* It is a refreshing change to be able to do that. Although I do still love playing in someone else's sandbox.
With that summary, how I not read it? Man, that was awesome. I keep flipping randomly through the book reading scenes. I might just start again from the beginning right now, maybe even with CE and MV as D and Jack.
