ratherastory: (Walk It Off)

I have been horribly remiss

Real Life™ is interfering with my fic-writing time. The Neverending Basement Saga of Doom™ continues apace, although I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm reasonably sure it's not a train.

This Wednesday I will be leaving for two weeks to go be operational support for the G8/G20 Summit (I work for the RCMP, for those of you just tuning in), but I won't be entirely out of touch. The hotel boasts wireless internet, so in theory I should still be able to get online.


Anyway, I haven't worked on anything I should be working on. I'm hoping I'll have time even during the summit to work on all my fics.

Ideally, I'd like to have a rough draft of all my work done by the end of this month. It'll take some doing, but I think I can do it. I have all my ideas. I just have to sit my butt down in a chair and write.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of new fic, dear readers. I hope to fix this soon. :)

Have a good time away, just be careful -- protesters at those things can be whack and out of control.

That's why I'm there! Among other things, anyway. I get to tell the cops where to go when the protesters get out of hand.

I, OTOH, shall be squirreled safely away in the comm center, behind walls.

Well then, I have an icon for you!

COFFEE!

HURRAY!

I live on the stuff. :)

Too bad I am about to go out of town for a while, or I would buy you a drink in partial repayment for all that lovely Winchester h/c (mind you, in all other respects I am delighted to be missing the G8/G20; stay safe!).

You don't live in Barrie, do you? 'Cause that's where I'll be.

Me too -- which is why I'm rather cross for the Queen celebrating her birthday tomorrow. Makes it really hard to find a good coffee.

Toronto. But I'm heading off to Boston with my parents for a few weeks.

LOL

Over here, the Tim Horton's coffee places are ALWAYS open.

Ah, okay.

Well, I wouldn't have been anywhere within striking distance of you (no car to speak of). Enjoy your trip, and next time we'll totally have coffee. :)

Have a safe and productive trip!

I am SO SORRY about the basement! I'm glad there's at least a light! I don't think I could stand having you away for two whole weeks! I would be sad and lonely! I hope the wireless works! Have fun on your trip! I know, conferences and stuff aren't really supposed to be fun, but try to squeeze some in there!

Good luck at the summit- hope things aren't too crazy for you & everyone. Stay away from the fake lake, and I look forward to new fic when you have time!

Oh, MAN.

No, no, take your time (she says generously). It'll give me time to catch up with what you've already written!

Damn real life. Why does the church not give me designated 'reading fanfic' times in my pastoral schedule?
