Characterization and Reader Empathy

( Especially Hermione. )

Miscellaneous

I wrote a set of haiku poems with the theme of treachery for lupin_snape. It was quite interesting and a bit of a challenge. It's not as dark as it sounds.

I am so sick now. At this point my throat is completely raw. I will have to go to the walk-in clinic tomorrow, which sucks, because I have no insurance. I can't avoid it though. I've already taken two days off work. *growls in unhappiness* It's the weirdest sickness, too. It's sinus drainage + very sore throat & some coughing. My usual sickness is all that plus incredible congestion, with my nose stuffed up. But my nose isn't stuffed up at all. In fact, I can smell everything. Normally I don't have much of a sense of smell, and this is driving me crazy. When we went to see Narnia I was almost overwhelmed because I could smell everyone around me. I don't know how you people with a normal sense of smell deal with it.

So much fic this month, I'm scrabbling to catch up in my reading.

I hope I will be able to write a bit tomorrow. I've really wanted to write for the past two weeks, but it didn't work out, except for the haiku poetry. I reread the last few chapters of tLS and hope to get some new words down tomorrow, if I'm still capable of processing thought.

And I'm so happy with the new aspects of FictionAlley. I'll be uploading the corrected versions of chapters 1-15 soon.

I'm just rambling. It's the theraflu. G'night, all...
