Heading out to case the promise land

I am updating mostly because I keep meaning to update when I have a reason, and then...not. LJ is a habit I should pick up again, really. So:

1. I saw and loved Deathly Hallows. I am, of course, saying this weeks after I first saw and loved it, but in my defence, I did actually try to update about that at the time, and technology thwarted me. By the time I realised it wasn't going to go through, it was already 04:30, and I was supposed to be in work by 08:00. But if the post had gone through, it would've been full of squee and flail. I have very much not loved the previous two films, but this made up for all. It was sweet and sad and funny, and totally captured what I loved about the books.

2. I keep reading these Wheel of Time books. Why? I am not at all sure I like them, what with how there are many things about them that strike me as pretty awful, and yet...I am on book 11. I think there are only 13 books, and that's not even the end of it. Will it ever end? Does anyone know? Will I still be reading when we're on book 66, and author 15?

3. I have seen the first 4 eps of Haven. I really like it! It has intrigue and creepiness and banter, and it is not all procedural-y. These are all things I approve of. I think Audrey is awesome, and Duke and Nathan are quite clearly in love. I have high hopes for its continued awesomeness. I am tempted to read The Colorado Kid, but I'm not sure how much doing that would ruin the show, and I don't want to ruin it at all.

4. Writing is hard. I have stories with something approaching plots, and I keep not writing them, because OMG difficult! I am trying to be better about this, but my natural procrastinating tendencies are very difficult to overcome. If I don't post the troll story, and possibly the story in which Dean and Sam are separated in alternate realities before show starts back, I want public shaming! And ridicule!

5. This is my favourite Josh Ritter song ever. How is he so awesome?

I am supposed to be writing. Naturally, I have decided to update my journal instead with a list of the things I am supposed to be writing.

( cut for spoilers or length or something )

I'm not sure those are the actual words to that song, but they're what I always hear, and I like them.

That is not the point of this post, however. The point is: writing. It is hard. I can't settle down to work on anything, so prompts! please leave me them! I will...try to make something happen with them.

Fandoms I actually think I could get something out of atm are SPN (Sam and Dean or J2), O11, Firefly, HP, White Collar, and maybe even Justified. Usual deal, just a pairing or character and a few words of a prompt. Who knows! Exciting things might happen.
