some progress has been made...

Woo-hoo! Progress! I'm making progress on my yuletide story! I've got a 1000 words! It's not nearly done and it's going to need some rewrites before going to beta, but yay! I'm making progress.

Have you ever read back over one of your own stories and really loved it? I mean, I usually enjoy all my stories - well, most of them anyway - because it's stuff that I wanted to see written, stuff that I enjoy. But there are certain stories that when I re-read them, I actually wonder if I wrote it and think it's a great story.

This came about because I was reading over some of my Alias stuff and stumbled upon A Shift In The Wind. It's Season Three Sydney angst, but I actually like the premise of the story. The use of her love of books to set up the story and the idea that Sydney is going to try to get over this woe-is-me feeling she has.

I don't know. I never know when it becomes arrogance on a writer's part or simply an ability to recognize good work.

Oh well, ignore this ramble. I'm trying to avoid writing and I really can't afford to do that at the moment.

Must watch last night's Veronica Mars tonight. Maybe start wrapping some of the gifts I've purchased (I finished the last of my shopping on my lunch break today! Hurrah! I'm done!)

But for now, I'm off to try to fill the last ten minutes of work with meaningless crap.

Ciao.
