yuuagoI finally finished that England/Norway fic that I'd been working on for a few weeks now. This is the first time in a while that I have finished something so quickly without it being for an anonmeme challenge or for a fest/exchange, so it's pretty surprising. I put it on the kink meme because I found a prompt that fit, and so far someone seems to have liked it, so that was a good decision.
But I'm not entirely happy with it yet - there's something about the flow of the writing - so I won't crosspost it anywhere much until I'm done tweaking it more. I think what I'll do is print it out and take it with me when I go on vacation, and do some editing then. Letting it sit for a few weeks, and then working bottom-up from a paper copy, is always the method that I find most efficient when it comes to fixing things. Though it might be that I'm just judging myself too harshly. Anyway, the current version is up on my archive if anyone wants to read it but doesn't want to go poking at the kink meme to find it.
Holy crap, speaking of vacation, I'm leaving so soon...! In about two and a half weeks I'll be on a plane to Iceland, and then on to Amsterdam, and then Brussels. I was looking up some Brussels-related things today and it's really too bad that we aren't going a month or so earlier, because it would have been neat to see the Flower Carpet in person. But since they do one every two years, it'll be easy for me to plan to go there and see that some other year, if I do decide I want to go to Brussels again. Which I think I might - though it's too early to say - I just have the feeling that I will like Brussels a lot.
I have most of the things I will need; just going to have to remember to charge my camera batteries before I go. And pick up a few fiddly little toiletries and things. And decide which suitcase I will take... but aside from that, if I had to go tomorrow, it wouldn't be much problem (aside from throwing all of my packing together). Which is good!
My parents got back yesterday. They'd been away for two weeks. While I kind of missed having people around, I must say that I did enjoy being alone... I found it a lot easier to get chores done when it was just me by myself. And it's a lot nicer to do things without having someone criticize your every move. Oh, well, I guess that just... is how it is.
