This subject line is pointless

Hey guys :D How are you all doing? Any news or anything writing/art related?

The second part of my history coursework is really making me stressed right now because I'm supposed to be finding some primary sources to use. I need to have about five and right now I have one, and even that one isn't very good. It's frustrating because I know exactly what I want to argue and what I could use to prove things but I can't find any of the things that I'm looking for!

In other news, though, I wrote another 1k of my spn_j2_bigbang the other day and it's coming along nicely. I'm really pleased with the scenes that I've wrote and I like it so far. I've done some thinking, though, and I'm going to reorganise my outline a bit so that I have less chapters. My original outline had about eight chapters and I'm going to merge that into four so that they're more of a decent length. That shouldn't take too much work, though. I just want to get it finished now so I can start editing and getting it beta-read. Saying that, I'm enjoying the writing part too!

I have this thing at the university tomorrow to introduce me to the programme that I'm taking part in. It should be helpful, I'm just a little nervous because the first half of the event is just for students and, up until now, my Mum's been at all of the open days with me and I know it sounds stupid but it's going to be a bit intimidating going by myself. On the other hand, it's a good chance to (hopefully) meet a few people who will be doing the two week summer school with me so that, when I turn up for that in July, there'll be a familiar face or two. For those of you who don't know, this scheme basically gets me a reduced offer, 3 Bs instead of 3 As (although it's sort of looking as though I might not have needed that - don't want to jinx it, though!)

I'm meant to be making that birthday list for my Mum but I can't think of anything I want. So, does anyone have any suggestions? It can be Supernatural/Leverage related or not!

I'm going to spend this afternoon sorting out my folders and notes because they're so unorganised at the moment and then I'm going to work on my big bang again because I just cannot find any of these stupid sources!

I'm with Dean in your icon there, I've got nothing in regards to writing or SPN-related stuff. I am however going to the theatre again tonight to see Blues Brothers, so that should be fun and will at least get me out of the house.

I'm glad you're being so productive with your Big Bang!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I hope that you have an awesome time! I'm going to spend tonight doing the essay that I'd forgotten I had to write up until five minutes ago! It's in for tomorrow!

Haha, I'm sort of being productive. I don't know, I have an odd few days where I write lots for it and then I go back to procrastinating again :)

[si-star-x.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh, I hate it when you realise you've got a submission due for the very very near future.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

It's stressful, lol! Luckily it isn't coursework and it doesn't go towards my A-Level or anything, it is just homework so I should be able to rush it off!

[si-star-x.livejournal.com]

That's okay then. With homework you've always got the 'my dog ate it' excuse, but with coursework... Not so much. ;-)

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, that's true XD I have...two paragraphs written. I guess it's better than nothing! Enjoy tonight!

[si-star-x.livejournal.com]

Two is better than none!

[canyon_deye.livejournal.com]

Glad your Big Bang is coming along well! ^__^

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Thanks :D It's sort of going well, anyway!

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Uh, I have news. I have another prompt for you. *G*

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Oooh :D Go ahead! *grins*

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

But you don't have time!!!!!

Okay, here it is anyway... Jared is afraid of flying but has to go up to Vancouver for whatever reason. The worst part is that Jared can't look out of the window because the view is blocked by some dude (Jensen) who's sitting next to him. Jared tries to play it cool and doesn't make it obvious that he's freaking out because he feels trapped on the plane. But Jensen notices and tries his best to make the fear go away. By distracting him, by offering him to sit at the window, etc. Whatever you think fits best.

I'd love to read something that describe the way two complete strangers on a plane get to know each other and I'd love to see a caring yet laid-back and funny Jensen who's not picking on Jared because of his stupid panic attacks.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Oooh. I love that prompt! I have a few ideas already for how it might work. It might take me a couple of weeks to get it done but if you don't mind waiting I'll definitely write it for you!

One thing: do you still want them to be actors or am I okay to give them different jobs?

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Aw, that's fantastic! Thank you! I don't mind an epically long story, btw. :-P Just kidding!

I don't care what jobs they have. They meet on the plane for the first time anyway. Their background and everything else is up to you. I'm totally looking forward to it! :-D

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, it's no problem! I'm flattered that you asked me to write it! Haha, I have some ideas for it that could end up epically long but I'll have to see how my big bang is going first!

Awesome, okay :D I have a pretty good idea about what I'm going to do, then. I hope I can do your idea justice!

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

If not, you're not gonna get any cookies. :-P

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha. Firstly, I think your icon is awesome! Secondly, *grabs cookies*

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

I put a spell on them. You won't be able to form a decent word in the next couple of hours.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, so that's why I'm struggling with my work! Lol.

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Definitely. But the effects wear off soon. As soon as you start writing my prompt.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

LMAO XD It's a good job I've been working on an outline, then :)

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Here! Have counter-jinx cookies. It's a writing boost.

[theron09.livejournal.com]

*grins*

*eats*

*writes*

[morgentau.livejournal.com]

Cookie monster!!!! You ate them all!!! *bakes more*

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, it really does. As much as I love it, I'm so sick of the coursework now!

Thank you :) I'm quite nervous but hopefully I'll be okay! It is a cool scheme :)

*huggles*

[dante-s-hell.livejournal.com]

It sounds like you're really getting a lot of productive writing done! Your BB is going to be awesome!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I'm sort of getting lots done, sort of not. It feels like I'm writing lots but then my wordcount isn't going up a lot at the same time! Thanks - I hope so!

[floren8.livejournal.com]

Hey girl! :)

I hate when I can't find what I need, it's so frustrating :S

Yay! At least some of us are capable of writing, lol ;D

It doesn't sound stupid at all, having your mom there is more secure, I feel the same way sometimes C: Btw you talk about your exams I'm pretty sure you won't need it!

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Hey XD

Haha - you're capable of writing! You can do it :) Go you!

Well, we'll see how I go today. I see what you mean about the exams but it's the history exam I can't be sure about. I reckon I'll come out with a B an, if I wasn't doing the scheme, I wouldn't get a place with that.

[floren8.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm already less stuck then I was before, I'm writing some scenes of other chapters but at least it's something :)

How was your exam? (it's already 24th anyway) hope you did okay :D

[theron09.livejournal.com]

Haha, uhoh, I've passed the writing out of order thing on to you! But yay for writing!

I don't have the exam until June - the other night was an event at the university :) That went quite well, though, thanks :D
