Good news, Justice readers!
I wrote the chapter-- and then some. The betas have generously made time for my chapter in their holiday schedules, so I am able to give you the good news that Justice chapter 18 will get posted sometime on Sunday January 01st. Well, I hope it's good news! At least it's not bad news, right? I just pray that there are no DDoS attacks scheduled for that day, or any screwy 'upgrades' of LJ systems by LJ tech staff, which are sort of like DDoS attacks, except from the inside.
I've already started chapter 19 too, although the last few days have offered scant opportunities for me to write. Writing is a solitary activity and it's hard to find solitude at Christmas time. One thing that's easy to find however, is chocolate! Have I ever been pigging out on that. Yesterday I was in a drugstore buying my favorite kind of coffee which was on for half-price for boxing day only, and some kind of evil Chocolate Spirit seized me and made me put all this half-price chocolate in my basket. It was a mistake to go there before dinner. I spent over twenty-five bucks just on chocolate. Considering how cheap it was, I got quite a lot. Then we had guests for dinner and guess what they brought me... a big box of chocolates!
For some strange reason, I have a magical 'chocolate aura' around me that makes people give me chocolate! I wish it would work the same way with money, but sadly it doesn't. My sister says it's not a magical aura at all-- it's merely the fact that I never shut up about chocolate, so everyone just associates it with me.
The only thing I know for that day is I'm going to be stalking youtube and the BBC and goodness knows what else to try to see the second season of Sherlock.
fangirl squeal of SHERRRRRLOOOOOOCK!!!!Now I want chocolate...
andsherlock8DD
I've got a whole section just tagged 'hahahahahahahaaa'. 8D
btw, maybe if you start talking 24 hours about money, people will start giving you money. =P
I'm working on Chapter 19 of Justice right now, but I'm feeling guilty because I told my husband I was going to the gym. I should just switch everything off and go. I ate a lot of chocolate last night.
Thanks for being excited about my new chapter!

LOL! XD It's sad that this is funny because it's true.
Also, "chocolate aura" would be a cool superpower to have!
When LJ spent months 'improving' rich text for us, I just wanted to throttle someone. It's still not back as good as it was before, either.
My chocolate aura superpower is quite refined, too. It's able to be specific and draw particular types of chocolate to me. I don't mean just milk, white or dark, I mean specific brands and flavors. I KNOW that's the universe working to give me what I want, because often I've been given exactly the brand and product I was craving by people who didn't know me well enough to know what I like.
It would be even more awesome if I didn't have to worry about the dark side of my power: losing sleep, getting hepped up on sugar, gaining weight, etc.!
Yes, one of my massive Justice chapters will be riding the waves of the Internet come Sunday, hoping to be noticed amid all the other sparkly things out there.
And the chapter after this one, chapter 19 is almost half written, too!
