Musings on writing and Phoenix Rising

I've been thinking about upcoming stories to write. I've signed up for the Paintbrush and Quill Society at Phoenix Rising, which I'm rather excited about. Have not received the assignment so far, and I think the deadline is sometime in December. Then there is WM, which I'm currently writing at the rate of roughly 500 words a day. So far, I haven't deviated too far from the outline, but then again, I never know what The Muse decides.

There is the likelihood of a Christmas HG/SS Exchange, which I'd love to participate in. Firstly, it was great fun, and secondly, it was a great challenge that taught me a lot. I'd love to see that I can do better next time. I'm not exactly unhappy with the outcome of my story, but I hope I can do better, ie. write something a little bit deeper.

Doing all of the above seems quite a task, especially considering that we'll be moving from one continent to another in the next six to eight weeks. On the other hand, of course, moving half way across the world means plenty of time in an airplane, with plenty of time to write.

Now, to Phoenix Rising. I saw on phoenix_chat that someone already created a community for one ship, I think it's Snarry. Should we create one for Snermione shippers? We could pimp it both on LJ and on the PR forum, and I think it would be fun getting to know those who attend before the event. What do ya'll think?

We played around with the Macbook, or rather, with its built-in camera and snapshot feature - I'm sharing the fun below.
