GIP and Fannish Endeavour

[przed]

First of all, GIP! I've been wanting another icon of the lads together, and found this image in a screen cap I'd done for the Pros Slash Proliferation Challenge. (Have I mentioned how much I love Doyle's arms here? Not to mention Bodie's svelte frame. Yum.)

Second, in compensation for my stellar work as a mom, and by virtue of tomorrow being a stat holiday here in Canuck land, my Sweetie is giving me a day to concentrate on writing whilst he looks after the little girl. I'm definitely looking forward to it. I'm going to try to wrestle to the ground the bloody story that's been giving me grief for far too long. (It was supposed to be a short little thing that would take no effort at all and it's been a freaking bear to settle on a structure for the bastard. I'm this far from tossing out a chunk of bits I rather like 'cause I think it might work better without them. Sigh.)

If I get a good amount done on that story, there's always the Pros novel to take a crack at. I've been mulling it over for the last few weeks and think I've finally figured out how to integrate Doyle into it the overall narrative better. (And how I ended up writing a Bodie-centric novel, I'll never know...)

And then there's the Ultraviolet vid I've had half started for far too long now. The clips are all capped, I've got a few shots set in, so perhaps I can get a bit of work done on it. Have I mentioned the song is six and a half minutes long? And it's a trip hop number with really fast beats? And it's probably going to kill me? (Yeah, there's a reason several other vids have jumped over it in the queue.)

Good for you! I am SO in favor of a day to yourself, free of all the mommystuff. Satisfying as childrearing can be (in the long run, and you have to keep the long run in view amidst the frustrations of the short run) it's important to keep that little bit of yourself, and your own interests, active and alive. I didn't really do that while my kids were around, so now that I and they are all grown up, it's coming as a bit of a shock to them that I have interests and abilities that they were totally unaware of. Which is actually kind of fun, too.

Yay Canada! Have a great day!

Whilst I know I won't have nearly the time to maintain my own interests, I'm determined to carve out a bit of time for myself every now and then. The Sweetie and I give ourselves one evening off a week to see a movie, go out with friends or whatever, which has been nice. And we're determined to see at least a few films each at the Toronto film fest this year, if not nearly our 30 to 40 film usual.
