sundry and random

castiron1. Still alive. Massively behind on DW/LJ reading due to Holmesian Fic of Doom. On balance, I'm okay with that, since it means I'm actually writing.
2. 11K words in the in-order draft, plus another 15K in out-of-order scenes. And given past experience, by time I write the remaining scenes and transitions, this thing's going to hit at least 40K words. Possibly longer. We'll see.
3. After I finish this fic, I really need to see if I can muddle through original fic again.
4. Sometime in the next couple weeks I need to write my Yuletide fic too.
5. At least I got a fandom I can handle. And I know what the scenario is for the story. So that's something.
6. If you have any interest in Eastern European folk dances and you have the opportunity to take a workshop with Cristian Florescu and Sonia Dion, do it. They're excellent teachers.
7. Drat, I still haven't written my Hound of the Baskervilles 60 for 60 fic.
8. Woof.
9. Also attempting to knit a pair of socks by December 12. I'm making better progress than I'd expected, but I'm only about 30% through them. However, postage to Canada being what it is, I have motivation to finish in time to give to the recipient in person rather than ship them.
10. There is water falling from the sky, and the temperature is below 70F/20C. Am I really still in Texas?
11. What would the Hound and Old Yeller have to say to each other if they meet in the canine afterlife?
12. Finished plying a skein of yarn that I'd been spinning for a few weeks. I've been knitting for over 30 years; I'm jaded by the fact that one can turn yarn into sweaters/socks/sundries. But being able to turn fluffy stuff into yarn? That's cool.
