Oh, what a wonderful feeling!

I wrote a snippet of fic this evening, scribbled on a paper carrier bag because that was the only paper I had upstairs and if I don't write things down the instant they come to me, they tend to be gone for ever.

I don't know if it'll ever become anything, still less whether I'll ever post it anywhere, but for the record, it's Freddie and Bel from The Hour. And I'd forgotten what a high I get from writing dialogue when it flows almost effortlessly, when it feels like the characters are writing the lines and I'm just transcribing.

And now I want to stay up all night to see whether I can write more of it, and I can't. I have to be up at a reasonable time tomorrow morning to go and make mince pies with my mum. Why does inspiration strike at impossible moments?  I suspect it's part of the perversity of life.

PS Hello, flist! Am I back? I really wouldn't have a clue.

Welcome back! I am planning to watch The Hour and now I have more incentive ;-)

Hi! And thanks for the welcome back. :)

As for The Hour, I'm loving the second series. Please do watch it, and then come and talk about it with me! I've been trying to sell it to fajrdrako over on her journal. She's fallen for Q as played by Ben Whishaw, who also plays Freddie, so that may serve as a hook. ;)

BTW, try and avoid the version that aired in the US, since apparently stuff was cut to get the episodes down to 45 mins in order to make space for advertising. Gah, I can't understand how they can do this!

Among other things, US viewers missed seeing Freddie in the bath. Quite apart from giving us a half-naked Ben Whishaw, (who may or may not float your boat), the scene was making a point about his relationship with Bel and about how other characters saw them. Grrrrr.
