and indeed there will be time

Taking a break from working on fic to try this music meme I stole from klingonlady.  Shiny stars to anyone who can guess.

1. Put your music player (iTunes, Windows Media Player, etc etc etc) on shuffle.
2. For the first twenty-five songs that come up- and no cheating!- post the first line of the song.
3. If the title of the song comes up in the line, you have two options: you may replace the title with blanks or, if that would make it too obvious, you may skip the song. This is the only time you should skip a song! Skipping embarrassing 90s pop songs takes the fun out of it, guys.
4. Let your friends guess the songs.

Hello all.

I come with bad news.  After much thought and deliberation with my betas, I have decided to put the Miles to Go sequel on an indefinite hold.  I know that I have been saying that I would have it out early this year, but that will no longer happen.  I feel awful for not being able to keep my promise.

I feel that I owe you some sort of explanation, so I will try my best to do that.  I have been working on the sequel since last summer.  For a while, I loved doing it.  But over these past few months, I have started to hate working on it.  It's actually stressful for me.  I know that writing isn't always fun, but I haven't had fun with that story in about three chapters.  The whole reason I started writing fanfiction (well, other than my immense love for the Doctor and Rose) was to alleviated some of the stress in my life.  This sequel is only serving to create it at this point.

That said, I am not giving up entirely on the sequel or this 'verse.  I will continue to work on your requests from ages ago and other small things, as the muse strikes me.  With any luck, after a bit of a break, I will feel inspired and ready to work on the sequel again.  I will not name any sort of time frame for that though.

I will continue to write, of course.  I still have Eyes Wide Open to finish and I am working on a series of oneshots, of which Meteor Shower was the first.   I want to explore some new things with my writing and see what I can do.

I apologize for promising something that I could not live up to.  I know that I fail.  I only ask that you don't stop reading my work.  I never intended to be one of those authors who didn't finish what she starts, but this is all a learning process for me.

Thank you so much to everyone who has read my stuff.  I really appreciate all of your thoughtful comments and the friendships I have formed.  I will try to do better in the future.

Hello lovely f-list!

I hope that you all had wonderful Christmases/holidays.  Mine were great.

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who wished me happy birthday, got me the those cool LJ v-gift thingies, or wrote me fic.  I tried to thank you personally, and just in case I didn't, this is me showing my gratitude.  Thanks to you guys, 27 is off to a great start.  Eeep, I don't like to look at those numbers.  Oh well, I guess they could be reversed and that would be much worse.

Second, I have finished the Christmas fics.  I am so sorry that I finished them so late, but I did my best.  I will try to get them all up by the end of the week.

After that, I am out of fic.  I will be posting Miles commentaries again and working furiously on the sequel and salimali 's birthday fic.  I hope to have the sequel finished soon.  I am getting anxious to post it.

Third, I am doing some updating around here.  I am going back through things I've written, fixing errors and reformatting things so that there is some uniformity to my posts.

That's all!  Happy New Year's!
