As some of you are aware. Any writing, (which is very little at the moment), I get done is usually for formal purposes. As it were.

Occasionally I come up with ideas for scenes for fanfic but then I usually get distracted by the next shiny thing and by work and I never actually write anything down. If I do, it's usually some garbled mess which I only inflict on [livejournal.com profile] lastrega

When inspiration does strike it's usually in the form of one of the characters who has taken up residence in my head having a conversation. This is very distracting, it can be entertaining and occasionally it even makes me write something coherent down.

Today Duncan has spoken to me for the first time. Ever. Do you know what he said?

"I wasn't in New Orleans at that time"

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

*throws hands up in air*

Is this actually the first sign of incipient drooling insanity? I mean surely the voices in my head can't be writing stories without any actual reference to my conscious brain can they?

I am perturbed. I haven't been able to get any work done this afternoon as all I keep thinking is what on earth Duncan could be referring to. It's like worrying at a hangnail or a loose tooth. Only in my head.

Gah!

Meanwhile in other news. Fandom = SOAPY TIT WANK. [livejournal.com profile] beeej I love you but we only have 24 hours to save the world!

Well, um, actually that's how it works best for me. The muse thing. If I try to poke at them too much they get pouty and resentful and turn their backs. So I try to pay attention to the bits that float to the surface and string them together as best I can. Not a bad system as these things go.

"I wasn't in New Orleans at that time." Sounds formal, official, like he's giving evidence or a depostiion or something.

Or maybe I've just been working with lawyers too long.
