seperis | on a second pass through lj

So I loaded a whole fleet of my wips into zohowriter to test whether I would actually work on them while not at my laptop, and in a non-Times New Roman font. Okay, immediately I changed to Times New Roman--I have no idea why, but for some reason, Verdana and Arial totally change how I write. Such as, wildly, I decided to sketch the next Strangerverse story, and okay, first, John pov, which is *weird*, and then baking got involved, which on one hand, huh, and on the other, what? I'm still debating whether to use it or not--it needs like, maybe a page to finish off. If I even knew what in the name of God they were doing.

However, nine of my top ten wips are listed here--Landscape isnt' simply because I have it split between files and frankly, that one's problem is more complex than simply general not-feeling-it--but I'm curious if I *can* write porn at work. It's an actual curiosity. I'm in a cubicle that I kind of sort of share with another attached cubicle, and there are people ducking in adn out all the time, and I talk to *clients*. So can I, at any time, suddenly break into 'And then Rodney went down on John hard enough for him to see spots."

Well, yes, I did *here*, but one might hope for a little more detail otherwise.

Plus, let's face it. From that sentence? I'm not feeling 'porn' so much as 'serious physical injury' and 'call Carson now' and 'possible lack of oxygen'. And hey, thought; there should be fic like that. I mean, sex leads to physical injury leads to bizarre misunderstanding, the way only fiction can really pull off.

I have a lot more fun ideas than I will ever have the energy to pull off.

In closing--seriously, giant evil spore mushrooms *outside my window*. What the *heck*? Apparently there are more. I hate non-edible mushrooms.

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

Zoho does change the way I look at my writing. I'm not entirely comfy with the change (perhaps because I need a 12-point serif font to be able to type without my glasses on and such a font takes up too much space on the smallish text window), but it does have its conveniences. [Bit of warning: learn how to use that locking and unlocking feature when you are sharing documents with other zoho users -- I lost most of a scene when I thought it saved and it hadn't.]

Once upon a time, not too long ago, I couldn't read porn at my desk and I couldn't write at all. For the same reasons you mentioned. Now? I have written porn at my desk (no, really, I have written porn), had my porn beta-read via AIM at work, and generally write better at work because I can tune out the distractions here. No, I don't get that, either. Granted, I don't have much phone time, but I do have co-workers who have no appreciation for th boundaries of personal space.

I would *really* give a lot for that window to be bigger. I'm not sure why--I guess my eyes are too used to a full screen.

Actually, that makes sense. Let's face it, coworkers are not the choice in entertainment. *thoughtful* I am

Also. *smirks* You wrote porn? Where?

I've hidden the links to all but one of the porny tales (2 DCU, 1 Star Wars, 1 Homicide), but it's still on my site. (And the DC stuff is linked to from elsewhere.) The reason I don't write porn any more is that my porn writing is awful.
