Soccer, WorldCon, and Writing

[przed]

We played a really tough team tonight, and lost. But at least it was only 0 - 3 when it could have been a serious blow out. We could barely get it away from our net the entire game. One of our best defensive players was complaining that "we just keep playing defense!" But I have so say, our defense mostly held, so go us. Also, Ros got to be in goal again and use her goalie gloves. soundofthesurf, shall get a pic of her in the gloves soon!

In other news, a week tomorrow we'll be leaving for Chicago where I'll be attending WorldCon, and the Sweetie and Ros will be playing in Chicagoland. I also got Ros her very first con membership. (She's young enough to qualify for the free kid-in-tow membership, and they've got some great kids programs, including a "braid your hair like Princess Leia" panel that I'm betting Ros will love.) So yay all round.

Now, If I can just hammer out the rest of my Pros BB story, I'll be happy. Broke 24K words today, which I'm hoping leaves about 6K to go. Hoping, but not sure, since I've only got a rather vague outline of the final chunk of the story rather than my usual scene breakdown. Fingers crossed...

Nothing more important in football than defence! Even the best teams have scraggy patches, but I hope the kids get a great big win soon, they deserve it!

...a "braid your hair like Princess Leia" panel...

I am SO jealous of Ros right now. XD

Well done you on your BB fic! I don't know how you manage it - I keep staring at my TT one in horror and just shaking my head at it... that, and my stupid brain keeps giving my inspiration for two other fics that are not my BB fic. Jeez, thanks brain. :P

I was always a defender, so I'm all about defence. If we end on a win next week, I'll be ecstatic, but even if we don't it's been a (mostly) fun season.

The kids panels look like a hoot. Can't wait to take her.

I'm just happy that my TT BB is done and awaiting beta! I have no idea how that happened. I'm also starting to mull over TT Christmas story ideas because my brain is also apparently stupid and not concentrating on what it needs to. But I'm hoping I get the Pros BB fic done this week, because I can then in good conscience sign up to do a vid for the TT BB without potentially losing my mind.
