Aside

Fiddling and Tweaking I’ve switched to the Coraline theme—at least for now—and we’ll see how that goes. I’ve been playing with the theme on and off today, moving things around, making some “featured” header images for certain pages (check out … Continue reading

Fiddling with the site some more . . .

Site spiffiness update

If you’ve been dropping by on and off over the past couple months, you may have noticed that I’ve been tweaking the site quite a bit even beyond the drop-down menus in the tabs, adding a few pages, or using Typekit (which loads somewhat inconsistently, but it’s free & works well enough most of the time).

Writing delays

Nine-fingered typing . . .

I usually type using all ten fingers, as I learned to touch-type many (many!) years ago on an old IBM electric typewriter. Generally, that’s a good thing, and I rarely even think about what my fingers are doing as I write, but when I injured one of my fingers last weekend, I found myself hampered and spent most of this past week either too uncomfortable to type for more than a few minutes at a time, even using only nine fingers, or finding it too awkward and slow-going to type for very long or to think less about the physical act of typing and more about what I was writing!

Fortunately, the hand is healing up nicely, and I’m back to typing with all ten fingers. So I began writing again yesterday evening. However, with all I had to do today, I wasn’t able to do any catch-up. RL is like that!

A Harry Potter Fanfic Community: Crack Broom

Crack-Broom

I discovered an old but new-to-me LJ community recently when someone kindly posted one of my stories as a fic rec. Take a look at it! It has a wonderfully eclectic mix of ’ships, which I found a rare delight, even if some of them are ones I’d be less interested in than others. It’s great to see some diversity, and some unexpected and rare pairs.
