I aten't dead...
17 Jul 2011 08:10 pmIt's been about a week since I posted. I seem to have been busy, but not doing anything worth writing about.
Actually I've been very busy finishing my story for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
lotrgficbigbang - the Lord of the Rings BigBang event - but rejoice! I've got to the end with a week or two to spare, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ellynn_ithilwen has done me beautiful chapter headings and banners and so on to go with it - working from my chapter outlines, and odd bits I would e-mail her - and it all fits beautifully.
The story is 25,000 words long and is a continuation of the Returnverse series - it will turn up here, and in my usual archives, when it is BigBang Day in early August. Now I have to get two Small Returns written and into shape before that - or there will be bits in the long story that won't make sense!
Apart from writing I have had Church meetings, and a Quiz as part of the church quiz team (3rd out of 15 teams - and a rather nice supper...). I've also cut out 60 paper foot-shapes for something in today's church service, and drawn a 7ft+ paper version of Goliath for small people to throw balls of blu-tack at... oh and made presentation labels for Bibles. Somehow church related stuff has taken up a lot of time this week!
For anyone interested there have also been a series of contacts from D-d. The Chilean volcano caught her again - her flight from Buenos Aires was delayed by about 6 or 7 hours, then eventually took a very major detour by way of Tahiti. Sadly the whole 23 hours between leaving Buenos Aires on Monday evening, and landing in Sydney about 9a.m. on Wednesday morning was over night - so she really didn't see much of Tahiti except the airport lights. However she had a good time with her friend in Sydney, and is now on her way up the East coast of Australia. She rang us last night (our time) from the mini bus as she went to the beach for some early morning surfing.
There are one or two pictures to share ( under the cut )
